AI-Rad Companion Chest X-ray

Siemens Healthineers

The AI-Rad Companion Chest X-ray automatically characterizes radiographic findings for a valid chest scan in the lung and pleura. It works like a second or third reader to support radiologists in differential diagnosis and clinical decision-making. It is capable of detecting pneumothorax, pulmonary lesions (nodules, masses, and granuloma), actelectasis, consolidation and pleural effusion.
