Intra-Abdominal Free Gas (IFG)

Aidoc

Aidoc’s Intra-abdominal Free Gas (IFG) algorithm detects and prioritizes intra-abdominal free gas on CT scans with the aim to speed identification, triage, and treatment. The algorithm runs automatically on contrast enhanced CT protocols and identifies pneumoperitoneum and small locules of air near the bowel wall.
