CINA-CSpine

Avicenna.AI

Authorized purpose: Assist hospital networks and appropriately trained physician specialists by flagging suspected acute cervical-spine fractures on cervical-spine CT for triage and prioritization; it is not designed to detect vertebral compression fractures.

Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

Clinical takeaway

Clinical role: Assist hospital networks and appropriately trained physician specialists by flagging suspected acute cervical-spine fractures on cervical-spine CT for triage and prioritization; it is not designed to detect vertebral compression fractures.

Evidence takeaway

Evidence from the reviewed source record: FDA retrospective multicenter, multinational, blinded standalone testing used 328 anonymized cases, including 155 positive and 173 negative cases, with ground truth by consensus of three U.S.-board-certified expert radiologists. Sensitivity was 90.3% (95% CI 84.5%-94.5%) and specificity was 91.9% (95% CI 86.8%-95.5%). Mean time to notification for all cases was 2.9 minutes (95% CI 2.7-3.0; median 2.6; range 1.0-6.8); for 140 true-positive cases, mean time was 2.8 minutes (95% CI 2.6-3.0).
