Authorized purpose: CADx assistance for assessment and characterization of brain tissue abnormalities and early ischemic injury in patients with known MCA or ICA occlusion, using ASPECTS regions and scoring to evaluate extent of disease during image interpretation.
Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

Overview status: Source-reviewed overview
What does this software do?Authorized purpose: CADx assistance for assessment and characterization of brain tissue abnormalities and early ischemic injury in patients with known MCA or ICA occlusion, using ASPECTS regions and scoring to evaluate extent of disease during image interpretation.
Which images or clinical context are in scope?Modality: CT/CTA Anatomy or clinical context: Brain, including ASPECTS regions Input: Non-contrast head CT images in DICOM-compatible clinical imaging workflow from patients over 21 with known unilateral MCA or ICA occlusion, within 12 hours from time last known well, acquired on Canon, GE, Philips, or Siemens scanners; the clinician must confirm the LVO condition before results are available.
Who uses it?Intended users: Neuroradiologists and clinicians, including stroke neurologists, general radiologists, neurointensivists, and vascular neurologists.
What does the software produce?Output: An automatic ASPECTS score reflecting the number of affected regions, delineated and highlighted ASPECTS ROIs, a heat map of contributing voxels, region labels, underlying voxel values, and DICOM output for PACS or workstation review; the clinician can adjust the score.
What is its most important limitation?Key limitation: Not intended for primary CT interpretation. It is validated and intended for known unilateral MCA or ICA occlusion, brain ischemia within 12 hours from last known well, patients over 21, and the listed Canon, GE, Philips, and Siemens scanner families. It is not suitable for tumors, abscesses, traumatic brain injury, hemorrhagic transformation, or hematoma; excessive motion, streak artifact, or significant noise can make scans technically inadequate.
Clinical takeaway
Clinical role: CADx assistance for assessment and characterization of brain tissue abnormalities and early ischemic injury in patients with known MCA or ICA occlusion, using ASPECTS regions and scoring to evaluate extent of disease during image interpretation.
Evidence takeaway
Evidence from the reviewed source record: FDA standalone testing used a retrospective, multicenter, multinational, multi-vendor, blinded study of CINA-ASPECTS v1.5 with 200 anonymized NCCT cases from five sites in the US and France, four scanner makers, and 27 models; the dataset was separated from training/testing data. The MRMC study used eight readers, four expert neuroradiologists and four non-experts, each scoring 10 regions in the 200 cases. Readers agreed with almost one-half region more per scan with the device, 4.1% (95% CI 3.3%-4.9%); overall reader ROC AUC improved from 0.75 unaided to 0.79 aided, and mean time per case decreased. These are reader agreement, reader ROC, and workflow-time endpoints, not device sensitivity or specificity.

Exact purpose
CADx assistance for assessment and characterization of brain tissue abnormalities and early ischemic injury in patients with known MCA or ICA occlusion, using ASPECTS regions and scoring to evaluate extent of disease during image interpretation.
Post-acquisition NCCT preprocessing, tilt correction, predefined-ROI analysis, and automatic ASPECTS scoring; the clinician confirms the occlusion prerequisite, reviews and edits the result, and archives the final output.
Non-contrast head CT images in DICOM-compatible clinical imaging workflow from patients over 21 with known unilateral MCA or ICA occlusion, within 12 hours from time last known well, acquired on Canon, GE, Philips, or Siemens scanners; the clinician must confirm the LVO condition before results are available.

The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.

Integration
A standalone executable can run from the command line or through medical image communications devices; it does not interface directly with CT scanners or data-collection equipment. Results are stored in DICOM for transfer to PACS or a workstation, with exact interface versions and local compatibility not established.
Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.
ACR AI Central provides an exact-submission model card for CINA-ASPECTS; FDA labeling remains controlling for clinical use, limitations, and performance.
Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version. Candidate literature without exact product and version linkage is not shown as product evidence.
