Vasolabs uses machine vision models to detect plaques in the carotid artery in minutes

Discover Synpatiq’s dynamic machine vision solution for detecting plaques in the carotid artery and providing care teams with rapid answers, saving lives with early disease detection and monitoring.

Problem:

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) affects 100M+ Americans with many more undiagnosed. And Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (C-IMT) test scans are a common, non-invasive procedure to assess vascular age, identify plaques, and diagnose CVD. However, C-IMTs require ultrasound equipment, trained onsite technicians, and sonographers to scan and interpret the results. It can take weeks for providers to receive results and initiate critical interventions.

What can you learn from this AI partnership in health care?

AI will carry healthcare beyond human capability. Just think what breakthroughs will occur when healthcare workers can leverage the last 100 years of medical data in seconds. Imagine a healthcare system in which your doctor can focus their full attention on you, the patient, and have their medical expertise backed up by AI solutions, delivering life-saving answers in seconds not weeks. Envision a healthcare system without paperwork – without time-and-energy-draining administrative tasks. Finally, visualize a reality where you wouldn’t have to wait more than a few moments to learn the results of your medical imaging, or your diagnosis. This future is not science fiction. It’s coming, and soon. Starting with your big problem.

Solution:

We trained machine vision models that consume DICOM images to measure intima-media thickness and detect plaques and their location in carotid arteries. Our solution’s output feeds a digital report that a care team receives and shares with the patient.

In summary, Synaptiq:

• Trained a machine vision model to detect plaques in the carotid artery

• Automated digital reporting for care teams to provide answers faster
