PaxeraHealth (Newton, MA, USA) unveiled the Ark – a patent pending technology – at RSNA 2021 in Chicago.

Inspired by the story of Noah’s Ark, the Ark is a zero-coding authoring platform that offers “Algorithms as a service” to help healthcare systems and academic centers to DIY their own AI algorithms for all possible modalities, body parts, and anomalies. Ark leverages a balanced dataset from members using collaborative learning. It will expedite the production of clinically validated imaging AI algorithms for these members and enable them to use high-end modeling, annotation, and native data curation tools. The Ark platform was developed to make AI more accessible and affordable, help reduce medical errors, and increase productivity.

In addition to introducing the Ark at RSNA 2021, PaxeraHealth also showcased the latest version of its AI-based Enterprise Imaging platform, PaxeraUltima 8th Generation. Built from the ground up, PaxexaUltima 8th Generation, provides cutting-edge native AI algorithms detecting 20 abnormalities and the latest machine learning technology designed to learn and improve with every user interaction.

Images in a 75-year-old woman who underwent routine screening mammography in 2022. Left mediolateral oblique views shown from prior screening mammograms: (A) 2015, (B) 2018, (C) 2019, and (D) 2021. In (E) 2022, a new mass developed in the left breast at the 6-o’clock position (arrow), with a (F) corresponding irregular mass at US (arrow). Subsequent US-guided core needle biopsy yielded invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 2. The deep learning 5-year risk scores gradually increased from 2.0 (2015) to 2.1 (2018), 3.4 (2019), 3.6 (2021), and 15.3 (2022).

AI Tool Predicts Five-Year Breast Cancer Risk from Mammograms

Breast cancer risk assessment during routine screening is difficult because many women who develop the disease have no known genetic mutations or family history. Static risk tools provide limited discrimination... Read more

AI Mammography Tools Detect Early Breast Cancer Signs Years Before Diagnosis

Breast cancer screening aims to detect tumors before symptoms develop, but subtle mammographic changes can appear years before diagnosis and may be missed during routine reads. Delayed detection can lead... Read more

$Image: Kyushu University researchers use Dynamic Chest Radiography (DCR) to evaluate the severity of Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR), a common complication after treatment of the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$
