What is it indicated for?
AmCAD‐UT® Detection is a Windows‐based computer‐aided detection (CADe) device intended to assist the medical professionals in analyzing thyroid ultrasound images, acquired from FDA-cleared ultrasound systems, with user‐selected regions of interest (ROI). After the initial review of the ultrasound images by the physicians, the device further provides detailed information with quantification and visualization of sonographic characteristics of thyroid nodules. The device is intended for use on ultrasound images of discrete thyroid nodules larger than 1cm, for which a biopsy recommendation is required.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
