Overview

cvi42 Auto Imaging is an advanced software as a medical device (SaMD) developed by Circle Cardiovascular Imaging, designed for the comprehensive viewing, post-processing, qualitative, and quantitative evaluation of cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (MR) and Computed Tomography (CT) images. This AI-powered platform leverages machine learning techniques to aid in semi-automatic contouring of regions of interest, providing clinically validated tools for accurate diagnosis and seamless integration into clinical workflows. It supports physicians in confirming the presence or absence of lesions in blood vessels, evaluating and documenting such lesions, and performing calcium scoring. The software aims to improve patient throughput, accuracy, and reproducibility by optimizing decision-making with its cutting-edge AI, reducing clerical workload, and enhancing reporting efficiency.

The platform is a vendor-neutral solution, compatible with various scanning platforms and existing systems like PACS/VNA, EMR, DICOM, and HL7, making it adaptable to diverse imaging environments. It is utilized globally in over 1700 hospitals across more than 90 countries, including top medical centers, for both clinical and research purposes. Recent advancements include cvi42 | Plaque, an AI-enabled, on-premise solution for comprehensive coronary plaque analysis, further enhancing diagnostic precision and risk stratification for coronary artery disease.

Frequently Asked Questions

cvi42 Auto Imaging, particularly the cvi42 | Plaque module, leverages AI for automated coronary lumen and vessel wall segmentation, enabling precise quantification of atherosclerotic plaque volume, burden, composition, and distribution directly from CCTA scans. This AI-driven analysis supports enhanced risk stratification and personalized treatment planning for coronary artery disease.
cvi42 | Plaque has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), indicating its regulatory compliance for clinical use. As an on-premise solution, it allows for the evaluation of coronary artery disease without sending patient data to external reading services, thereby reducing PHI privacy and security risks.
Several alternatives exist for AI-powered cardiac imaging analysis, including platforms like Arterys Cardio AI, syngo.via, IntelliSpace Cardiovascular, and EchoPAC, which offer various features for cardiac MRI, CT, and echocardiography. Other competitors mentioned include Caas MR 4D Flow, AIATELLA, and Vitrea Advanced Visualization, each with distinct capabilities in cardiovascular imaging.
Circle CVI offers a flexible 'Elevate pricing structure' for cvi42, which is a subscription model designed to scale with imaging volume and growth across CT and MR service lines. The AI-enabled coronary plaque analysis performed by cvi42 is reimbursable under the Category I CPT code 75577, effective January 1, 2026, with Medicare and major commercial insurers providing coverage and enabling sites to retain reimbursement.
While cvi42's AI offers significant automation, general AI segmentation in cardiac imaging can sometimes have limitations, such as potential underestimation of left ventricular volumes if the LVOT is not fully included or due to underfitting of contours. However, cvi42 provides full user control, allowing for manual adjustments of AI-generated annotations as needed to ensure accuracy.
