ClariCT.AI

AI-driven CT image denoising solution for ultra-low-dose CT scans.

Overview

Deep-learning AI technology, designed to increase CT image clarity, even with ultra-low-dose scans. It uses a deep convolutional neural network, trained to work in a vendor-agnostic way, to reduce noise and enhance image clarity for low-dose and ultra-low-dose DICOM CT images.

Trained with over one million patient images containing varying degrees of noise for different body parts. ClariCT.AI’s Clarity Engine separates image noise components while enhancing underlying structures; thus, providing clarity restored images.

Benefits

  • Noise-cleaned images aim to reduce time of CT image reading and diagnosis, and minimize second patient call back for a rescan.
  • Minimizing harmful radiation exposure for operators and patients by lowering CT scan doses, particularly benefiting radiation-sensitive patients including oncology and pediatric patients, and those needing frequent scans, such as for low-dose lung cancer screening without sacrificing image quality2.
  • Decreasing wear and tear on the X-ray tube, potentially extending its life by up to four times; thus, reducing costly tube replacements3.
  • Works with any brand of CT scanner and PACS, old and new.
  • Producing high-quality CT images, even with older or refurbished scanners.
  • Using denoised images may assist other software in disease detection accuracy and improved workflow efficiency.
