InferRead Lung CT.AI to benefit to lung cancer screening (LCS) programs across the nation, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis and better patient outcomes
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Eureka Clinical AI platform, from ConcertAI’s TeraRecon, now provides clinicians with the state-of-the-art artificial intelligence to analyze lung CT, detect lung abnormalities, and accurately identify and label nodules of different types with the addition of InferRead Lung CT.AI from Infervision.
Infervision AI products are currently used by more than 900 healthcare providers in nearly 20 countries. Now, the addition of InferRead Lung CT.AI to the Eureka Clinical AI platform enables seamless integration within the existing medical workflow and delivers quantitative results to the patient’s entire care team within seconds to support radiologists, surgeons, and oncologists in making better, more informed decisions for patient care.
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women in the United States.1 Relative survival rates are more than 60% in five years if discovered at an early stage, however, can be lower than 10% if the disease progresses to later stages before diagnosis.2 Lung Cancer Screening programs have been designed to encourage early diagnosis and treatment of high-risk population meeting certain criteria. The screening process involves Low-dose CT (LDCT) scans to determine any presence of lung nodules or early-stage lung disease. Small nodules, however, can be very difficult to detect and missed diagnoses are not uncommon.
“With the InferRead Lung CT.AI algorithm on Eureka Clinical AI, we’ll be able to help clinicians by supporting automated reading to aid radiologists in pulmonary nodule detection in lung Computed Tomography (CT) scans, increasing accuracy and efficiency,” said Dan McSweeney, President of TeraRecon.
“The tremendous potential for lung cancer screening to reduce mortality in the U.S. is very much unrealized due to a combination of reasons,” said Eliot Siegel, M.D., Professor and Vice Chair of research information systems in radiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. “Based on our experience reviewing the algorithm for the past several months and my observations of its extensive use and testing internationally, I believe that Infervision’s InferRead Lung CT.AI application can serve as a robust lung nodule ‘spell-checker’ with the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce reading times, and integrate with the image review workflow.”
“Fast, workflow friendly, and accurate are the three key areas we have emphasized during product development,” said Matt Deng, Ph.D., Director of Infervision North America. “We’re very excited to be a part of the TeraRecon AI partner ecosystem and make our InferRead Lung CT.AI solution available to the North American market on the Eureka Clinical AI platform. Our clients tell us it has great potential to help provide improved efficiency for providers and patients alike.”
