Pneumothorax, nodule, effusion, seen early.

The chest concentrates vital emergencies and screening. The Milvue Suite detects pneumothorax, opacities, pleural effusions and pulmonary nodules (Europe coverage), so nothing slips through the flow.

In short. On chest radiographs, the Milvue Suite flags pneumothorax, pleural effusions, opacities and nodules. In an independent validation (Radiology, 2024), its lung nodule detection reaches an AUC of 0.86, statistically above the mean of 17 radiologists (0.81). Class IIa medical device in Europe; in the United States, SmartChest is FDA cleared for adults (K232410).

Chest findings

The extra eye on every chest.

Pneumothorax, opacities, pleural effusions, pulmonary nodules: chest detection flags and localizes abnormalities, urgent and silent alike.

Pulmonary nodule flagged by the Milvue Suite on a chest radiograph
Real case: pulmonary nodule flagged on a chest radiograph. In an independent validation (van Leeuwen et al., Radiology 2024), nodule detection reached an AUC of 0.86, statistically superior to the mean of 17 radiologists (0.81; p = 0.04).
In practice

Three steps, no workstation change.

Nothing to change at the reading station: the solution slots into your existing flow.

01

Chest image

PA or lateral radiograph, no specific protocol.

02

Multi-pathology detection

Abnormalities localized with a confidence score.

03

Flag & report

Critical cases prioritized, results insert into the report.

A very simple tool to use, easy to interpret, with an instant automated result, on the chest as on the skeleton.

Frequently asked questions
Which chest findings does the Milvue Suite detect?

Pneumothorax, pleural effusions, opacities and nodules on chest radiographs (European coverage).

How does it perform on lung nodules?

In an independent validation of seven software products on 386 radiographs (van Leeuwen et al., Radiology, 2024), Milvue reached an AUC of 0.86, statistically above the mean of the 17 radiologist readers (0.81, p = 0.04).

Is chest detection cleared in the United States?

Yes, for adults: SmartChest is FDA cleared (510(k) K232410, May 2024). In Europe, chest detection is part of the Milvue Suite, a Class IIa medical device.
