Medical imaging AI company Avicenna.AI has received the CE mark for two AI tools for spine imaging.
One tool is the Cina-VCF Quantix, a new AI algorithm designed to detect and assess unsuspected vertebral compression fractures in patients undergoing CT scans for unrelated conditions. The other is the Cina-CSpine, an AI tool designed to detect and triage cervical spine fractures from CT images.
Cina-VCF Quantix is intended for patients aged 50 and older undergoing CT scans of the chest and/or abdomen for other conditions. It automatically labels vertebrae and calculates vertebral height loss ratios in the thoracic and lumbar spine. If a vertebral height loss ratio exceeds 20% to 25%, meaning moderate to severe fractures, the tool generates a passive notification.
Cina-CSpine automatically flags suspected acute cervical spine fractures. This alerts radiologists through their existing systems.
