Intended Use

BriefCase-Triage is a radiological computer-aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of CTPA images in adults or transitional adolescents aged 18 and older. It assists hospital networks and appropriately trained medical specialists in workflow triage by flagging and communicating suspected positive cases of Pulmonary Embolism (PE). The device uses AI to analyze images and highlight suspected PE findings, providing non-diagnostic preview notifications to assist triage.

Technology

The software is a radiological computer-assisted triage and notification tool operating on a Linux-based server in a cloud environment. It processes filtered DICOM CT images chronologically with a deep learning algorithm trained on manually labeled data to detect suspected pulmonary embolism. The output is transferred to an image review desktop application that notifies users with compressed, grayscale preview images for prioritization, without modifying the original images or workflow.

Performance

A retrospective, blinded, multicenter study of 499 CTPA cases from six US clinical sites compared BriefCase-Triage results to consensus ground truth from three senior radiologists. Sensitivity and specificity both exceeded 80%, with sensitivity at 94.39% and specificity at 94.39%. Time-to-notification averaged 26.42 seconds, substantially faster than the predicate device’s 78 seconds, demonstrating efficiency in workflow triage without impacting standard of care.
