Intelligent tuberculosis screening now integrated into CriticalScan™

According to the WHO, in 2023, 10 million people fell ill with tuberculosis, a disease capable of spreading to 10–15 others per person. Just a few inhaled germs of the TB-causing bacteria are enough to infect someone. Yet, tuberculosis is both preventable and curable.

With our new CriticalScan™ tuberculosis functionality, routine chest X-rays can become a powerful tool in the fight against this deadly disease. CriticalScan™ acts as a smart, silent assistant, seamlessly integrating into the normal workflow. It remains unobtrusive unless a critical finding, such as tuberculosis, is detected. In such cases, CriticalScan™ alerts the radiographer, who can escalate the exam following established protocols.

This ensures timely treatment for the patient and helps prevent further spread of the disease.
