Riverain Technologies is highlighting clinical results regarding its ClearRead CT coronary artery calcium (CAC) software.
In a study performed by a team led by James Hillis, MBBS, PhD, of Mass General Brigham AI in Boston, ClearRead CT CAC showed high agreement with both the ground truth radiologists and with the paired gated cardiac exam for scoring incidental CAC on ungated CT exams. The company reported the following key findings:
- Agreement between ClearRead CT CAC and ground-truth radiologists was 96%
- Agreement between ClearRead CT CAC and paired cardiac gated CT was 90%
- ClearRead CT CAC accurately calculated Agatston scores on nongated CTs and produced similar scores to paired cardiac gated CTs
"Use of ClearRead CT CAC could broaden screening for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, enabling opportunistic screening on CTs captured for other indications," the company noted.
