Aidoc Expands AI Service to X-ray, Receiving FDA 510(k) Clearance for Pneumothorax

Aidoc, the leading provider of healthcare AI solutions, today announced that it received FDA 510(k) clearance for its triage and notification of pneumothorax on X-ray exams. A one-stop partner for the enterprise's clinical AI needs, Aidoc's other seven FDA-cleared solutions are already implemented across U.S. health systems, flagging and communicating suspected pathologies in CT exams – and now have expanded to the high volume X-ray modality. Aidoc's newly FDA-cleared solution runs on all X-ray machines including portable ones, and is designed to analyze X-ray images. It automatically flags positive cases of pneumothorax, facilitating physicians to read X-rays in a timely manner. The ability to quickly identify pneumothorax is imperative as it can worsen rapidly and result in respiratory or cardiac failure.
