Inspectra CXR is an AI-based software that analyzes adult frontal chest x-rays for signs of 8 abnormality conditions including Tuberculosis. The software aims to assist doctors in prioritization and triage of chest X-ray images. In addition to the top accuracy, Inspectra CXR also offers flexible installation solutions, full integration with PACS system or a standalone AI server, all with a world-class security standard.
Currently, Inspectra CXR identifies features suggestive of 8 abnormality conditions including:
1. Tuberculosis
2. Pleural effusion
3. Lung opacity
4. Pulmonary edema
5. Mass
6. Nodule
7. Cardiomegaly
8. Atelectasis
The system returns AI results as a secondary capture on the DICOM for PACS integration option or JPEG for Inspectra application in which both display location of the lesions in heatmap, list of AI findings, and abnormality score corresponding to each finding.

Input
DICOM, JPG
Output
Heat map
Dichotomous output indicating for each abnormality whether this is present or absent.
Dichotomous output only indicating whether TB is likely present or likely absent.
Probability score for TB
Probability score for each abnormality
Location of each abnormality
The default threshold probability score is set at the optimal score for each abnormality condition, 44% for Tuberculosis. The threshold cannot be adjusted by users, but can be adjusted as customization per request.
The structured report presents the probability of abnormal findings in percentage. It consists of 3 subsections.
1. The overall abnormality score of the case across 8 possible findings.
2. The abnormality score of Tuberculosis, i.e. the probability of signs of Tuberculosis.
3. The abnormality score of 7 other findings.
Other: Atelectasis, Blunted costophrenic angle, Consolidation, Fibrosis, Interstitial markings, Loculated pleural effusion, Mass, Nodule, Opacity, Pleural effusion
Inspectra CXR identifies features suggestive of 8 abnormality conditions:
Pleural effusion, Tuberculosis, Lung opacity (includes consolidation, fibrosis, and interstitial markings), Pulmonary edema, Mass, Nodule, Cardiomegaly, Atelectasis
TB Score: Calcification, Cavity, Consolidation, Fibrosis, Interstitial markings, Opacity and Granuloma
