The challenge
Patients are unaware of abdominal aortic disease until they experience a rupture, leading to life-threatening complications.
The solution
Quantify maximum abdominal aorta diameter on medical imaging and navigate undiagnosed, high-risk patients to the appropriate healthcare professional.
How does it work?
Bunkerhill’s abdominal aorta measurement algorithm runs automatically in the background of all abdominal CTs. The algorithm identifies and calculates the maximum diameter of the abdominal aorta and provides the diameter and CT image on-demand to the reviewing physician. The physician evaluates the information during their review of the scan to determine the extent of any abdominal aortic disease.
Why does it matter?
Detect irregularities in the abdominal aorta.
Quickly and accurately assess maximum abdominal aortic diameter measurements to facilitate detection of aneurysms or analyze growth trends over longitudinal scans.
Surgically intervene on high-risk patients.
Patients deemed to have severe abdominal aortic aneurysms may undergo endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) or other surgical interventions to reduce risk of rupture.
Personalize engagement with patients.
At-risk patients can be given automatic notifications and enrolled in workflows for regular follow-up and appropriate evaluation to monitor and manage their conditions.
