Target Population

Providing AI-assisted lung nodule detection tools for patients undergoing LDCT scans or lung cancer screening with simultaneous real-time alerts for aortic abnormalities.


Description

The “Prophet of Intelligent Discovering” AI platform integrates AI, HIS, PACS, and RIS systems. It enables rapid aortic diameter measurement and lung nodule detection from LDCT scans, with real-time abnormal case alerts. Radiologists can prioritize interpretation, reducing patient follow-up time by 79%. Utilization at the main hospital and Hsinchu branch has reached nearly 90%, significantly reducing clinical workload and improving patient safety. Future expansion will target other hospitals, health screening centers, and rural areas, advancing health for all ages.


Key Highlights

Rapid interpretation: Aortic diameter measurement and lung nodule detection completed within 20–50 seconds per LDCT scan.

High accuracy: Aortic diameter error <1%; lung nodule sensitivity 96.4%.

Real-time alerts: 100% abnormal cases notified instantly, enabling prioritized interpretation and faster patient follow-up.

System integration: One-stop platform connecting AI, HIS, PACS, and RIS, streamlining workflows and reducing clinical workload.

Clinical impact: Patient follow-up time reduced by 79%; utilization rate nearly 90% at main hospital and Hsinchu branch.

Future expansion: Promotion to other hospitals, health screening centers, and rural areas, advancing health for all ages.
