Authorized purpose: Passive, prioritization-only, parallel-workflow notification for clinicians in bone-health settings to prioritize chest and abdominal CT cases suggestive of at least one vertebral compression fracture; it does not provide diagnosis or replace full evaluation.

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: Passive, prioritization-only, parallel-workflow notification for clinicians in bone-health settings to prioritize chest and abdominal CT cases suggestive of at least one vertebral compression fracture; it does not provide diagnosis or replace full evaluation.

Evidence takeaway

Evidence from the reviewed source record: FDA stand-alone detection testing used 611 retrospective chest and abdominal CT cases from the USA and Israel, including 306 cases positive for moderate or severe vertebral compression fractures and 305 negative cases with mild or no fracture, truthed by three US board-certified radiologists. The reported AUC was 0.9504 (95% CI [0.9348, 0.9660)); at the reported operating point sensitivity was 90.20% (95% CI [86.35%; 93.05%]) and specificity was 86.89% (95% CI [82.63%; 90.22%]); mean analysis time was 61.36 seconds. These are triage-detection endpoints for the defined cohort.

Output and human action
A passive notification or flag in the Zebra Worklist application for cases suggestive of at least one vertebral compression fracture, with three sagittal preview images for information only; no diagnostic information, markings, or treatment recommendations.

  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09
Limitations
The device does not send a proactive alert, does not provide diagnostic information beyond triage and prioritization, does not remove cases from the radiology worklist, and must not replace full patient evaluation or be relied on to make or confirm diagnosis. Preview images are informational only.

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

Integration
After CT acquisition, a copy of the study is retrieved and results pass through the IMA Integration feature to the Zebra Worklist application on a workstation/PACS workflow; exact interface versions and local compatibility are not established.

Evidence summary
FDA stand-alone detection testing used 611 retrospective chest and abdominal CT cases from the USA and Israel, including 306 cases positive for moderate or severe vertebral compression fractures and 305 negative cases with mild or no fracture, truthed by three US board-certified radiologists. The reported AUC was 0.9504 (95% CI [0.9348, 0.9660)); at the reported operating point sensitivity was 90.20% (95% CI [86.35%; 93.05%]) and specificity was 86.89% (95% CI [82.63%; 90.22%]); mean analysis time was 61.36 seconds.

  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09

The FDA packet supports this sensitivity for the 611-case chest/abdominal CT triage cohort; it is bounded to the reported operating point and intended use.

  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09

The FDA packet supports this specificity for the 611-case chest/abdominal CT triage cohort; it is distinct from the AUC and CI bounds.

No contextualized exact-version metric has completed evidence review. Regulatory-document values, when available, are shown above with their limitations.

The refreshed discovery snapshot contains 2 PubMed and 0 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. Discovery metadata alone does not establish exact tested-product, version, population, and endpoint applicability, so all candidates remain quarantined and none was promoted. The current discovery snapshot contains 2 PubMed and 0 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records; its dated, count-matched human screening remains current. Unlinked candidates remain quarantined.
