Intended Use Statements
Intended use (according to CE) ClearRead CT is comprised of computer assisted reading tools designed to aid the radiologist in the detection of pulmonary nodules during review of CT examinations of the chest on an asymptomatic population. The ClearRead CT requires both lungs be in the field of view. ClearRead CT provides adjunctive information and is not intended to be used without the original CT series.
