cvi42 Coronary Plaque Software Application is intended to be used for viewing, post-processing, qualitative and quantitative evaluation of cardiovascular computed tomography (CT) images in a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Standard format.

It enables a set of tools to assist physicians in qualitative and quantitative assessment of cardiac CT images to determine the presence and extent of coronary plaques and stenoses, in patients who underwent Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) for evaluation of CAD or suspected CAD.

cvi42 Coronary Plaque’s semi-automated machine learning algorithms are intended for an adult population.

cvi42 Coronary Plaque shall be used only for cardiac images acquired from a CT scanner. It shall be used by qualified medical professionals, experienced in examining cardiovascular CT images, for the purpose of obtaining diagnostic information as part of a comprehensive diagnostic decision-making process.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
