What You Should Know:
– Annalise.ai, a global leader in the radiology imaging sector, announced the launch of Annalise Triage, an AI-powered worklist solution for chest X-rays and head CTs tailored specifically for the U.S. market.
– This innovative software will transform the radiology field by empowering radiologists to efficiently triage studies and prioritize those with suspected critical findings, ultimately streamlining their workflow, and supporting faster time-to-diagnosis for urgent conditions. AI-enhanced worklist triaging has been shown to decrease both the time a radiologist needs to read a report, and the time from request until a report is available for critical cases.
Annalise Triage Overview
Annalise Triage includes an array of 12 FDA-cleared findings, including 5 for chest X-ray (CXR) and 7 for non-contrast head CT (CTB). Readily available for use across the United States, this comprehensive offering received the 510(k) clearance and the coveted breakthrough designation for obstructive hydrocephalus. Notably, Annalise Triage is the only radiology triage device to have received this distinction, which is exclusively granted to devices and products that fulfil specific criteria, which include enhancing the diagnosis or treatment of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating conditions, offering breakthrough technology, presenting a significant advantage over existing alternatives, and being in the best interest of patients.2
AI-powered Worklist Triage for Head CT
By implementing Annalise Triage, radiologists can swiftly and accurately detect a range of critical, time-sensitive conditions from unenhanced head CT studies, including acute subdural hematoma, acute subarachnoid hemorrhage, intra-axial hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage, obstructive hydrocephalus, mass effect, and vasogenic edema. Furthermore, it enables identification of pleural effusion, pneumoperitoneum, vertebral compression fracture, pneumothorax, and tension pneumothorax on chest X-rays. With this list of 12 time-sensitive and critical findings, Annalise Triage is the most comprehensive AI triage tool for CXR and non-contrast CTB available in the US.
“Our advanced algorithms support radiologists by facilitating prioritization of studies with suspected critical findings, thereby optimizing radiology workflow. With its set of clearances, Annalise.ai promotes faster report turnaround times by identifying and elevating critical cases for immediate attention,” said Dr Rick Abramson, Chief Medical Officer at Annalise.ai.
