CINA-AD

AI Detection of Aortic Dissection on CT Angiography

Aortic dissection is one of the most rapidly fatal cardiovascular emergencies. Type A or Type B determines whether the patient goes to emergency surgery or medical management, and that decision cannot wait. CINA-AD analyzes every chest or thoraco-abdominal CTA automatically, flags suspected aortic dissection within seconds, and delivers Stanford classification before the radiologist opens the case.

Aortic dissection is not one emergency. Stanford classification determines whether the patient needs surgery or medical management, and CINA-AD flags every suspected dissection, Type A or Type B.

Ascending Aorta,
Immediate Surgery

Type A aortic dissection involves the ascending aorta and carries the highest mortality risk in cardiovascular emergencies, with outcomes worsening by the minute. Immediate surgical consultation and/or mobilization are required. Any scan sitting unread in a standard worklist is time the surgical team is not preparing.

Descending Aorta,
Medical Management

Type B aortic dissection involves the descending aorta and is typically managed medically, with strict blood pressure control and close monitoring. Delayed diagnosis that allows progression carries serious risk. In complicated cases, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), a stent graft that seals the entry tear and re-expands the true lumen, may be required.

Every chest or thoraco-abdominal CTA is analyzed automatically. When aortic dissection is suspected, the radiologist receives a notification within seconds and a Stanford classification. No manual trigger. No change to the existing workflow.

A Customer's Perspective

“Artificial Intelligence is here to help us. It is our companion. It can provide results, quantify, alert us about pathologies. By sorting images when we have 500 or 1,000 of them, we can focus on the most significant ones.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Aortic dissection is one of the most rapidly fatal cardiovascular emergencies. In Type A dissection, which involves the ascending aorta, mortality without surgical intervention rises by approximately 1 to 2% per hour in the first 48 hours. Type B dissection, limited to the descending aorta, carries lower immediate mortality but can progress to rupture, organ malperfusion, or hemodynamic instability without prompt medical management. In both cases, the time between scan acquisition and the first clinical decision directly affects patient outcome. CINA-AD delivers Stanford classification within seconds of acquisition, so the right team can begin preparation before the radiologist has opened the full case.

CINA-AD analyzes chest and thoraco-abdominal CT angiography to flag suspected aortic dissection, delivering a notification with Stanford classification (Type A or Type B) and up to four preview slices. In the standalone performance study (n=289), mean time-to-notification was 22.7 seconds. CINA-AD does not alter the original image and is not intended as a diagnostic device.
