Evidence status: each field shows source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established in reviewed sources, and vendor documentation pending are distinct outcomes.

Clinical fit

What this tool is for

Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.

Exact purpose
Maximum axial abdominal aortic diameter measurement on CT exams that include L1-L5, as adjunctive unofficial information for physician review.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Intended users
Appropriately trained medical specialists

Care setting and population
Medical facility
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Workflow role
Measurement and quantification adjunct: generates a preview measurement for review in standard radiology software/PACS while the physician retains final responsibility.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Required input
DICOM axial CT exams of the abdomen/pelvis with or without IV contrast that include the L1-L5 region of the abdominal aorta; adult patients aged 22 and older.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Output and human action
A preview image annotated with the maximum axial abdominal aortic diameter measurement, with DICOM results transferred to standard radiology review/reporting software; the original unmarked series remains available in PACS.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Limitations
Not intended for post-operative aortas or standalone clinical decision-making. The preview measurement is unofficial and not final, must be reviewed by a qualified interpreting physician, and does not replace full-image review or the official radiology report.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.

Integration
The packet describes DICOM instances sent to a cloud server for processing and DICOM results exported to a PACS destination for medical-specialist review. Specific interfaces, versions, and current commercial hosting configuration are not established beyond the FDA-described workflow.

Evidence

Performance evidence

Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version.

Evidence summary
FDA stand-alone retrospective validation used 258 patients with ground truth from three U.S. board-certified radiologists. Mean absolute error was 1.58 mm (95% CI 1.38-1.80) against a <=2.0 mm acceptance criterion; the secondary endpoint reported delta ICC 0.003 <0.05, with Bland-Altman limits of approximately +/-5 mm. The test set included 58% non-contrast and 42% contrast studies.

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Exact FDA scope controls clinical claims. ACR provides bounded exact-submission catalog context. Candidate literature metadata remains a discovery queue until full-text identity, endpoint, population, and version review is completed. Automated exact-name discovery found 0 PubMed and 0 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. Candidates require human product and version matching; zero candidates is not evidence that no studies exist. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.

Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
