What Physicians Need to Know
DICOM Support & Standards
IB Lab LAMA supports DICOM input and outputs results as DICOM Secondary Capture, PDF, and Structured Reports, ensuring compatibility with existing imaging infrastructure.
PACS Integration Method
The tool offers seamless, 'zero-click' integration into standard reading environments (PACS) and Radiological Information Systems (RIS). Results are automatically stored in PACS and are viewable in DICOM viewers as printable PDF reports. It also supports integration via AI marketplaces or distribution platforms.
Reading Room Workflow Impact
IB Lab LAMA significantly reduces reading and reporting time for lower limb deformity radiographs, cutting it from 3-8 minutes to under 1 minute (up to a 90% reduction). It automates measurements, standardizes results, and reduces inter-reader variability, allowing for pre-selection and triaging of cases.
AI Model Architecture (deep learning approach)
The software utilizes deep learning technology, including convolutional neural networks and classification technologies, to provide fully automated and precise geometric length and angle measurements of the lower limb.
Processing Speed (per study)
IB Lab LAMA delivers results rapidly, with calculations completed within seconds to under one minute per study.
FDA Clearance Pathway (510k/De Novo)
IB Lab LAMA received FDA 510(k) clearance, classifying it as a Class II medical device.
Supported Modalities (CT/MRI/X-ray/US)
The tool is specifically designed for X-ray images, particularly full-leg X-rays (long leg radiographs), and supports analysis of images both with and without hip or knee implants.
Sensitivity & Specificity Data
Clinical studies have shown high reliability, substantial agreement with expert radiologists, and high sensitivity and specificity in detecting arthroplasties. It achieves accurate and precise measurements of knee alignment within u22641u00b0 and leg-length discrepancy within u22642mm. Specific precision for HKA, JLCA, and MAD is within 0.3u00b0, 0.8u00b0, and 1.1 mm respectively, and leg length discrepancy is accurate to 0.2 cm compared to expert readers.
RSNA/ACR Validation
A study published in Skeletal Radiology (November 2021) demonstrated the software's human-reader grade accuracy and efficiency gains, utilizing extensive training data from multi-site locations including the US. ImageBiopsy Lab presented LAMA at RSNA 2021, and the ACR Data Science Institute (DSI) has identified leg length discrepancy measurement in radiographs as a key AI use case.
Physician Tip
IB Lab LAMA can significantly streamline the assessment of lower limb deformities and leg length discrepancies on X-rays, offering standardized and reproducible measurements. Physicians should leverage its automated reports for pre-operative planning and post-operative evaluation, especially in cases involving implants. While highly accurate, it's crucial to remember that the software is an aid and should complement, not replace, comprehensive patient evaluation and professional interpretation. The rapid processing speed allows for more efficient workflow and increased focus on patient consultation.
IB Lab LAMA is designed for flexible integration within existing radiology ecosystems. It seamlessly connects with PACS, RIS, and Clinical Information Systems (CIS), and can be deployed as a cloud-based, hybrid, or on-premise solution. Its output in standard DICOM formats (Secondary Capture, PDF, Structured Report) ensures compatibility with various medical viewers and reporting templates, facilitating a smooth transition into current clinical workflows.
