Introduced image diagnosis support AI “EIRL”
At our clinic, we have introduced the medical image diagnosis support AI "EIRL" developed by L-Pixel Co., Ltd. so that patients can undergo examinations with greater peace of mind. EIRL is a technology that uses AI (artificial intelligence) to analyze medical images such as chest X-rays (X-rays) and supports doctors' diagnoses. This is a medical device (programmed medical device) approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

AI automatically analyzes the chest X-ray image taken, marks candidates for findings that require attention, such as nodular shadows (lump-like shadows) in the lungs, and presents them to the doctor. The doctor makes the final diagnosis while also referring to the AI analysis results.
Additionally, it automatically measures the size of the heart called cardiothoracic ratio, which is useful for managing heart failure.
In other words,"Double check" between the doctor's eyes and the AI's eyes will be carried out.
