Frequently Asked Questions
AI-Rad Companion (Cardiovascular) analyzes CT DICOM images to support physicians in evaluating cardiovascular diseases. EchoGo Amyloidosis, on the other hand, analyzes echocardiogram video clips to aid in the early detection of cardiac amyloidosis.
AI-Rad Companion (Cardiovascular) provides quantitative and qualitative analysis for general cardiovascular diseases, including automatic recognition and quantification of coronary calcium volume, 3D overview and segmentation of the thoracic aorta, and heart segmentation. EchoGo Amyloidosis is specifically an AI-powered screening tool for the early detection of cardiac amyloidosis, providing diagnostic output of 'suggestive' or 'not suggestive' of the condition.
AI-Rad Companion (Cardiovascular) generates standardized, reproducible, and quantitative reports in DICOM SC format, including measurements of relevant aorta diameters and highlighting enlarged diameters. EchoGo Amyloidosis provides a binary classification decision of 'suggestive' or 'not suggestive' of cardiac amyloidosis, based on the analysis of echocardiographic markers like ventricular volume, cardiac function, and myocardial movement.
EchoGo Amyloidosis has demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy with 85% sensitivity and 93% specificity for identifying suspected cardiac amyloidosis, with consistent performance across AL, wild-type ATTR, and variant ATTR subtypes. AI-Rad Companion (Cardiovascular) focuses on providing quantitative and qualitative analysis, with validation studies showing high correlation for coronary calcium volume and low average absolute error in aorta diameters.
Both tools are designed for seamless integration into existing clinical workflows and IT infrastructure. AI-Rad Companion (Cardiovascular) integrates into existing clinical workflows and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), generating DICOM SC format reports. EchoGo Amyloidosis also offers seamless integration with existing clinical workflows and IT infrastructure, supporting PACS, DICOM, and HL7.
EchoGo Amyloidosis has specific reimbursement pathways, including NTAP Code ICD-10 XXE2X19 for inpatient analysis ($1,000 per analysis, Medicare-covered) and HCPCS Code C9786 (Clinical APC Code 574) for outpatient analysis ($285 per analysis, covered by Medicare and select commercial insurers).
