The utilization of the Delft Light and CAD4TB software was extensively discussed during the International Tuberculosis Conference 2022.
For more information about how the Delft Light portable X-ray and CAD4TB solutions are used in Uzbekistan, please view the story of ‘Experience on Ultra-Portable Digital X-ray and CAD Implementation in Uzbekistan’, by Dr Akmal Umarov, Radiologist and Coordinator at the Republican Scientifical & Medical Center of Uzbekistan, during the Delft webinar of 2023.
During the webinar, Dr Umarov noted: “After training our specialists, we noticed that screening people from remote areas using portable X-rays doesn’t require additional expenses, other resources like films or other personnel. So even if you have one operator, it is enough, then sending several people will help reduce the cost of exams in remote areas. The system can work online and offline.”
“Al helps simplify the activity of radiologists. At first, they were scared that we would probably lose our jobs, but then they understood that it would ease the performance and help us quickly receive patients. Within 3-5 seconds, we can see to see focal lesions. It helps to have the heat map, which is very convenient for identifying his pathology and, of course, such parameters for us. It’s convenient because we can print and collect this data and medical history.”
