Radiology picture archiving and communication system application software

Intended purpose

Rapid is an image processing software package to be used by trained professionals, including but not limited to physicians and medical technicians. The software runs on a standard off-the-shelf computer or a virtual platform, such as VMware, and can be used to perform image viewing, processing, and analysis of images. Data and images are acquired through DICOM compliant imaging devices. Rapid ASPECTS is a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) software device used to assist the clinician in the assessment and characterization of brain tissue abnormalities using CT image data. The intended user population for the Rapid ASPECTS module is restricted to radiologist users only. Rapid ICH is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of non-enhanced head CT images. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and trained radiologists in workflow triage by flagging and communication of suspected positive findings of pathologies in head CT images, namely Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH). Rapid NCCT Stroke is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of (1) nonenhanced head CT (NCCT) images. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and trained clinicians in workflow triage by flagging and communicating suspected positive findings of (1) head CT images for Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) and (2) NCCT large vessel occlusion (LVO) of the ICA and MCA-M1. Rapid Aneurysm Triage and Notification (ANRTN) is a radiological computer-assisted triage and notification software device for analysis of CT images of the head. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and trained radiologists in workflow triage by flagging and prioritizing studies with suspected saccular aneurysms during routine patient care. The Rapid RV/LV software device is designed to measure the maximal diameters of the right and left ventricles of the heart from a volumetric CTPA acquisition and report the ratio of those measurements for adults. Rapid SDH is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of non-enhanced head SDH images. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and trained radiologists in workflow triage by flagging and communication of suspected positive findings of pathologies in head CT images, namely Sub-Dural Hemorrhage (SDH).
