ASST Vimercate Hospital installs Fujifilm’s REiLI Artificial Intelligence to speed up workflow during COVID-19 emergency

, 26 August 2020/in Corona News, Product News /by 3wmedia

Azienda Socio Sanitaria Territoriale (ASST) Vimercate Hospital in Italy has implemented Fujifilm’s REiLI artificial intelligence system to assist healthcare practitioners on the frontline in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to the pandemic, operations and workflows in Italian hospitals were disrupted, which significantly increased workloads. As a consolidated partner of Vimercate, Fujifilm wanted to ensure its cutting-edge tools were available to reduce the impact caused by the rapid spread of COVID-19 by assisting in speeding up workflows.
REiLI’s processing of CT scans and chest x-rays provides important support for radiologists, offering them an extremely rapid, quantitative and objective assessment of the various zones of the lungs. The chest x-ray, in particular, is the best example of applying the new AI technology, in that it produces a quick and simple examination which provides a large amount of useful information for evaluating the presence of the pulmonary parenchymal consolidation caused by the virus.
The data obtained from artificial intelligence does not replace the molecular diagnoses performed using the nasopharyngeal swab (RT-PCR), nor does it replace the analyses and diagnoses performed by the radiologist. The data, however, does provide support in reporting on daily examinations conducted to monitor and study the development of the disease, and constitute a second opinion for the operators.
Commenting on the REiLI artificial intelligence system, Marcello Intotero, Head of Radiology Structure and Diagnostic Services Department at ASST Vimercate Hospital, said: “REiLI’s support has allowed our radiologists to report examinations with greater speed and efficiency. This new technology has given great support to the workflow; all images that the artificial intelligence system identified as suspected COVID-19 were subjected to processing by the radiologist in a faster and more urgent manner.”
REiLI is integrated with the Lunit Insight CXR module for the analysis and detection of the main types of pulmonary disease. The Lunit Insight CXR3 module was updated to provide support in specifically identifying the pulmonary parenchymal consolidation caused by the virus.
Giovanni Delgrossi, Head of the IT Department at ASST Vimercate noted that during the health emergency, more than 80 chest x-rays of patients were analysed each day at the hospital. “If no priority is set for the examinations to be reported, it may take hours to identify a particular x-ray which may require prompt, immediate action from doctors. In an emergency like the current one, we need to react and act even more quickly,” he said.
Discussing Fujifilm’s REiLI AI system, Nicola Bilibio, Clinical Specialist Medical Informatics (CSE) Fujifilm Europe GmbH explained that AI is a new operating concept projected towards collaborative intelligence between machine and man. “This is a fundamental tool for optimizing workflow and for screening patients for COVID-19. During the emergency, we promptly made our most advanced technologies available to make a concrete contribution to the crisis.”

Hologic was due to showcase the following new products at ECR 2020, which has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Breast Imaging
The 3Dimensions Mammography System is the industry’s fastest and highest resolution breast tomosynthesis system on the market. The system offers a variety of features designed to provide higher quality 3D images for radiologists, and enhanced workflow for technologists, with lowdose options, for patients. For example, the system includes Intelligent 2D imaging technology, which works with the system’s Clarity HD highresolution 3D imaging to deliver unprecedented clarity, contrast and detail at a lower dose.
Another feature available with the 3Dimensions system is the Quantra 2.2 breast density assessment software, which enables standardization in patient protocols, providing reproducible and consistent breast density assessment. Furthermore, thanks to the addition of the SmartCurve breast stabilization system, the 3Dimensions system is also clinically proven to deliver a more comfortable mammogram compared to standard compression, without compromising on speed, dose or accuracy.
Interventional
The Brevera® Breast Biopsy System with CorLumina® Imaging Technology is a real-time breast biopsy and verification system that improves the patient experience and streamlines the biopsy process from start to finish. Before the Brevera system, radiologists performing stereotactic breast biopsy procedures to diagnose breast cancer were often required to leave the patient under compression while they moved to another room to image and verify tissue samples. With the Brevera system, radiologists are able to obtain and image tissue samples in the procedure room in just a few seconds, potentially saving up to 10 minutes per patient and cutting the procedure time by up to 25%.
The Affirm® Prone Breast Biopsy System is the only dedicated prone biopsy system offering superior 2D or tomosynthesis imaging. Thanks to this high-quality 2D or tomosynthesis imaging and a field of view that’s more than 6.5 times larger than older generations of prone biopsy systems, clinicians can visualize more tissue and pinpoint subtle lesions and faint calcifications that may not be visible on older systems. Of note, more than 95% of patients reported their Affirm prone biopsy procedure was faster, more comfortable and less painful than expected. The system is designed with patients’ physical and emotional comfort in mind. Direct view of the biopsy needle is eliminated helping to reduce patient stress, and clinicians can quickly identify, target and access lesions to help reduce time spent in compression.
The Faxitron™ Core Specimen Radiography System is designed for efficiency. Within seconds this self-contained, table top unit provides highresolution imaging for immediate core sample verification in the biopsy room.
Breast Surgery
The LOCalizer™ Wireless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Breast Lesion Localization System is a non-radioactive, radiofrequency localization system designed for precise marking and targeting of lesions in breast-conserving surgery. It was designed to replace the traditional wire-guided localization method, which requires placement of a wire on the day of surgery. With the tag, placement can be done weeks or months prior to surgery. For patients, this means they can arrive closer to their surgery time and experience fewer interventional procedures.
The Trident® HD Specimen Radiography System delivers enhanced image quality, improved workflow and instant sample verification during breastconserving surgeries and stereotactic breast biopsies. The Trident products are the only specimen radiographs on the market to use amorphous selenium direct capture imaging – the same detector technology used in Hologic’s 3Dimensions mammography system – to generate crisp, clear, high-resolution images.
Ultrasound
The Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound System is a wireless, handheld ultrasound device that delivers accurate, high-resolution diagnostic images at the point of care, enabling optimization of clinical workflow and patient pathway. The system seamlessly transmits images to smart devices and communication systems (PACS) in the office, exam room or surgical suite, and allows facilities to add interventional breast ultrasound services for a fraction of the cost of comparable cart systems. Additionally, the Supersonic Mach 30 Breast Ultrasound System provides fast, high quality imaging and is the first to offer an intuitive touchpad control and large adjustable touchscreen display. The system’s enhanced ergonomics are designed to increase usability.

THE COVID-19 THREAT

, 26 August 2020/in Corona News, Editors' Picks, Featured Articles /by 3wmedia

As the threat of a COVID-19 pandemic stares us in the face, it may be opportune to consider some scenarios ahead, especially in light of lessons from other, similar outbreaks in recent decades.
The first problem is sporadic bursts of public concern, alternating with periods of denial. Managing both requires measured doses of reliable information from authoritative sources. Such measurement is a delicate art at the best of times. During a crisis, media hype can mutate it easily into mass misinformation.
Similarly, the threat of terrorism has close parallels with each of the above aspects.
