deepc Strengthens Radiology AI Portfolio with iPE DETECTION from Avicenna made available through contextflow

Incidental pulmonary embolism (iPE) is frequently overlooked, posing significant risks to patient health. deepc is addressing this challenge by expanding the deepcOS® portfolio with CINA-iPE, a computer-aided triage and notification software designed to assist radiologists in detecting incidental pulmonary embolism (iPE) on chest CT scans manufactured by Avicenna, distributed by contextflow. This addition strengthens deepcOS® as a leading AI platform for radiology, bringing one of only two available iPE detection solutions available on the market today, to its users. The iPE detection solution hosted on deepcOS® benefits from a platform designed for seamless integration into radiology workflows while delivering a streamlined, efficient experience for radiologists

Addressing a Critical Gap in Radiology

Missed cases of incidental pulmonary embolism in routine imaging lead to delayed diagnoses and increased patient risk. iPE DETECTION is designed to support hospital networks and trained radiologists in workflow triage by flagging and communicating suspected cases of iPE in patients undergoing imaging for other conditions, particularly oncology patients. Early detection is essential for timely treatment, especially in clinics with longer turnaround times. While specific statistics on undiagnosed iPE in routine imaging vary, studies indicate that incidental pulmonary embolism is detected in approximately 1% to 4% of unselected patient populations, with higher rates among hospitalized patients and those with cancer. Undiagnosed and untreated pulmonary embolisms can lead to severe complications, including sudden death, highlighting the importance of early detection and intervention (ASH Publications, Mayo Clinic).

Enhancing Workflow Efficiency with AI

By integrating iPE DETECTION into deepcOS®, radiologists benefit from an automated, AI-driven solution that prioritizes cases needing urgent review. The software helps optimize clinical workflows, ensuring that iPE findings do not go unnoticed in routine imaging. By expediting case prioritization, radiologists can significantly reduce the time to treatment, leading to better patient outcomes and reduced workload.

With the addition of iPE DETECTION, deepcOS® reinforces its role as a trusted AI hub for radiologists, ensuring that critical conditions do not go unnoticed. Book an AI consultation to learn how deepcOS® can support your team.
