Useful for mobile checkups such as Southeast Asia and Africa
Development of lung disease and lung cancer diagnosis technology is also required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope it will help fight tuberculosis in developing countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na Yoon-joo, CEO of RadiSen Co., Ltd., a South Korean startup that develops an artificial intelligence (AI) solution that reads medical X-rays, said on the 19th, \u201cIt is not easy for most developing countries that develop tuberculosis to go to hospitals because they lack the intention to read chest X-rays.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The small, low-dose chest X-ray tuberculosis reader developed by Radysen is a diagnostic equipment exclusively for chest X-rays and is effective for collective screening in Southeast Asia and Africa. This is because it is small in size and can be carried around and generate stable X-rays with less power. RadiSen is a medical digital X-ray company established in 2016 and currently exports its products to Vietnam, Indonesia, India and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe tuberculosis reader is not a replacement for doctors, but it is a device that filters out patients with highly contagious tuberculosis so that they can be diagnosed with tuberculosis in 18 seconds per person,\u201d Na said. \u201cThe X-ray tuberculosis reader, which is developed this time, is easy to move and install on small buses or trucks, so it is effective for mobile screening, especially by introducing artificial intelligence reading, which can help countries where radioactive readers are scarce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na was the only Korean company to participate in the 49th International Conference on Lung Health held in the Hague on the 27th of last month and announced the \u201cX-ray Tuberculosis Reader,\u201d which automatically diagnoses tuberculosis in chest X-ray radiographs. \u201cIt is very encouraging that Korean companies have introduced new technologies to diagnose tuberculosis,\u201d said Dr. Jacob Creswell of the International Cooperation against Tuberculosis under the UNOPS, who participated in the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CEO Na plans to participate in the Radiation Medical Device Exhibition (RSNA) in Chicago from the 25th to 30th to promote the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RadiSen is also working on research to apply the small low-dose chest X-ray tuberculosis reader to other diseases other than pulmonary tuberculosis. CEO Na said, \u201cIf AI is used, it can be used in many medical devices because it can read information that cannot be seen with human eyes.\u201d \u201cIn the long term, we will create equipment that can be used for diagnosis of lung disease or lung cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1182,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[1],"class_list":["post-471","news","type-news","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-1"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
