Herausforderung

Currently, pre-and post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA) lower limb alignment is assessed manually or with the aid of interactive software applications, resulting in high intra- and inter-reader variability, poor reproducibility and calibration errors.

No implant support

Poor reproducibility

High reader variability

Lösung

Fully-automated measurements aid users in quantifying limb-length discrepancy and quantitative knee alignment parameters on uni- and bilateral AP full leg radiographs.

LAMA™ is here to support you!

Implantat-Unterstützung

IB Lab LAMA™ now supports radiographs with total hip and total knee implants, providing 13 standardized measurements for both pre- and post-surgery radiographs [3]

Schnell

Reading and reporting time of lower limb deformities radiographs can be reduced from 3 minutes to <1 minute (more than 3x faster) resulting in more time for patient care [2]

Akkurat & Prezise

Deep learning technology enables automated accurate and precise measurement of knee alignment within ≤1° and leg-length discrepancy within ≤ 2mm [1]

3

x

More than 3x faster on pair with expert readers [1]

%

of medical imaging specialists perceive IB Lab LAMA to be useful in their medical practice [4]

70

%

More than 70% of radiologists & orthopaedic surgeons are interested in using IB Lab LAMA [4]

Produktbeschreibung

LAMA™ uses deep learning technology to provide precise fully-automated geometric length and angle measurements of the lower limb on full leg X-ray images. The outputs aid healthcare professionals who are interested in the analysis of leg-length discrepancy and knee alignment in adult patients with suspected or present deformities of the lower extremities. 

The user does not interact directly with IB Lab LAMA™ except to accept or reject the generated report findings via cleared third party medical viewers. The measurements are compared to fixed predetermined norm-ranges, based on standard state of the art clinical practices hard-coded into the software. Outputs are summarised in reports that can be viewed on any cleared medical DICOM viewer.

Findings

IB Lab LAMA™ provides the following measurements:

● mechanical axis deviation

● full leg length

● femur length

● tibia length

● leg length discrepancy

● hip knee ankle angle

● anatomical tibiofemoral angle

● anatomical mechanical angle

● joint-line convergence angle

● mechanical lateral proximal femoral angle

● mechanical lateral distal femoral angle

● mechanical medial proximal tibia angle

● mechanical lateral distal tibia angle

Vorteile

Effizient

IB Lab LAMA supports workflow efficiency by automating time-consuming reporting tasks

Objektiv

Effects of inter- and intra-rater variability are reduced

Genau

IB Lab LAMA reduces inter-rater variabilities for evaluating long leg radiographs in a standardised manner

Automatisiert

IB Lab LAMA is world’s first AI software for fully automated measurements on uni- and bilateral AP full leg radiographs of individuals at least 22 years of age

Vorgesehene Verwendung

IB Lab LAMA™ is a fully-automated radiological image processing software device intended to aid users in the measurement of limb-length discrepancy and quantitative knee alignment parameters on uni- and bilateral AP full leg radiographs of individuals at least 22 years of age. It should not be used in-lieu of full patient evaluation or solely relied upon to make or confirm a diagnosis. The software device is intended to be used by healthcare professionals trained in radiology. IB Lab LAMA™ is not indicated for use on radiographs on which Ankle Arthroplasties and/or Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasties are present.

Das sagen unsere Kunden:

Jack Farr - Orthopedist

Die KI-Software von ImageBiopsy ist innerhalb unseres PACS-Systems hochpräzise und effizient, dadurch erhalten wir wertvolle Informationen über den Status des Knies entlang des Kontinuums von Chondrose zu Arthrose.

Jack Farr, MD
Orthopäde

Die Integration der KI-Lösungen von ImageBiopsy Lab in unser RIS und unser PACS ist simpel. Es macht Spaß, damit zu arbeiten und der visuelle Bericht ist eine ideale Unterstützung bei der Beratung unserer Patienten.

Dr. med. Mueller-Stromberg
Orthopäde

KI-basierte Lösungen sind weniger arbeitsintensiv und die Befunde sindgenauer. Man erhält einen objektiven Wert, der zur Überwachung und Prognose des Verlaufs genutzt werden kann. Wir bieten etwas, das andere nicht haben.

Priv.-Doz. Dr. Gruber
Radiologe

Eine genaue Diagnose und reproduzierbare Nachuntersuchungen sind für eine erfolgreiche Arthrosetherapie unverzichtbar. Software-basierte Verfahren können dem medizinischen Fachpersonal bei der Steuerung und Anpassung der Behandlung unterstützen.
