qXR chest X-ray second reads at Royal Bolton Hospital
Royal Bolton Hospital used qXR for COVID-19 triage, with Qure.ai reporting 91% sensitivity
Problem
Royal Bolton Hospital faced an influx of symptomatic patients while PCR results could take more than 24 hours. Clinicians needed support assessing chest X-rays.
Approach
The hospital deployed Qure.ai's qXR in April 2020. Clinicians and radiologists used its automated image analysis as a second read and to support patient prioritization.
Results
Takeaway
The AI supported clinical decisions during testing delays. The vendor did not disclose a measured reduction in staff workload.
