ChestEye Quality

Oxipit
ChestEye Quality is an automatic Quality Assurance (QA) chest X-ray solution. It automatically double-reads all chest x-rays, by analyzing radiologists' reports and comparing them with AI analysis of the studies. If ChestEye Quality identifies possible False Negative (FN) made by radiologists, it highlights the cases for the final review for the radiologists. ChestEye Quality goal is to improve the reporting accuracy of the radiologist and act as a safety net to avoid any possible FN for the radiologists.

Intended Use Statements
Intended use (according to CE) ChestEye Quality is a quality assurance tool combining artificial intelligence with human radiologists. The product works in two steps. Firstly, the artificial intelligence software reads final radiologists' reports and corresponding CXR images. It identifies potential reporting errors made by the reporting radiologists, by comparing the radiologist's report with the internal results of ChestEye Quality. The software then flags the cases for Oxipit radiologists to review. The second step is for the Oxipit radiologist to double-check the cases, which were automatically flagged by the solution, to identify any cases with a high probability of a missed finding. Identified cases are then sent to the hospital's radiologists via email or via integration in the PACS/RIS/HIS systems. It's the hospital's radiologists' decision if any action (such as adding an addendum to/modifying the radiological report) should be taken. Using the tool prospectively enables the radiology department to identify the most common mistakes, call for extra attention, or provide additional training to mitigate the risk of missed pathologies.
