Overview

Dual energy subtraction modalities expose patients to additional radiation and may cause scheduling and workflow difficulties. In addition, visualizing lines and tubes on a portable can be challenging due to patient positioning, illness, and device technique. Detecting pneumothorax can be extremely challenging even for experienced physicians.

ClearRead™ Xray with Clear Visual Intelligence™ is a patented solution that gives clinicians a better view of the chest with tools aimed for greater efficiency, accuracy, and enterprise-wide detection of cardiothoracic diseases.

Features

ClearRead™ Xray consists of the following applications: 

  • Bone Suppress – ClearRead™ Xray Bone Suppress is a unique and patented solution that removes bones and machine noise for an unimpaired view of the chest, driving accuracy and efficiency in the search for cardiothoracic disease.
  • Enhance – ClearRead™ Xray Enhance automatically adjusts chest X-rays for optimal and efficient visibility and to improve the conspicuity of lines and tubes for clear and confident interpretation.
  • Detect – ClearRead™ Xray Detect first leverages the Clear Visual Intelligence™ from the Bone Suppress solution to automatically detect regions of interest for informed decisions about findings that may be pulmonary nodules. 
  • Pneumothorax – ClearRead™ Xray Pneumothorax warns of a possible pneumothorax for early intervention.

 

Benefits

  • Increased detection of missed nodules by 17% and 19% decrease in read time.¹-²
  • Using the bone suppression algorithm can improve quality of soft tissue image without additional radiation dose to the patient, the expense of X-ray equipment, or the workflow challenges associated with dual energy subtraction procedures.
  • Automatically adjust the portable chest X-ray to improve the conspicuity of lines and tubes for faster reads and for clear and confident interpretation.
  • Readers view ClearRead as an additional series in the patient study without the need for a separate application viewer or login.
  • Programmable routing and exam filtering tools allow you to set protocols for age, device, CPT code and location to receive the ClearRead Xray series only on cases that meet specific criteria.
