Intended Use

BraveCX is a radiological computer-assisted triage and notification software that analyzes adult (≥18 years old) chest X-ray images for the presence of pre-specified suspected critical findings (pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax). The software provides case-level outputs available in the PACS/workstation for worklist prioritization or triage and does not send proactive alerts directly to specialists.

Technology

BraveCX uses deep learning AI to analyze DICOM chest X-ray images, is deployable as an API either on cloud or on-premises, and integrates with PACS or other DICOM storage. Outputs are flags in the worklist indicating suspicion of pleural effusion or pneumothorax, with no image markup, and notifications generated within 15 minutes after interpretation.

Performance

BraveCX achieved high performance in detecting pleural effusion and pneumothorax with ROC AUC >0.95, sensitivities around 82-89%, and specificities around 90-97% in both internal and external non-clinical validation datasets. Testing included diverse datasets and compared favorably to the predicate device Lunit INSIGHT CXR Triage. Average notification time is approximately 10 seconds, faster than the predicate.
