About
Incidental Pulmonary Embolism is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of contrast-enhanced chest CTs (not dedicated CTPA protocol) in adults or transitional adolescents age 18 and older. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and appropriately trained medical specialists in workflow triage by flagging and communication of suspect cases of incidental Pulmonary Embolism (iPE) pathologies. The device is intended to be used on single energy exams only. BriefCase uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images and flag suspect cases on a standalone desktop application in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation. The user is presented with notifications for suspect cases. Notifications include compressed preview images that are meant for informational purposes only and not intended for diagnostic use beyond notification. The device does not alter the original medical image and is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. The results of the Incidental Pulmonary Embolism are intended to be used in conjunction with other patient information and based on their professional judgment, to assist with triage/prioritization of medical images. Notified clinicians are responsible for viewing full images per the standard of care.
