Description
Summary:[...]incorrectly interpreted CTPA examinations are discovered only when CTPA studies are presented to an expert thoracic radiologist for review. The 4 clinical studies collectively demonstrate that this CAD system offers capabilities that complement those of radiologists, leading to overall increased sensitivity and reduced variability associated with the CTPA diagnosis of PE, as well as enhanced consistency in the Mastora index for risk stratification in patients with PE.
