qXR-Detect

Qure.Ai Technologies

qXR-Detect is an adult chest-radiograph concurrent reading aid that identifies, highlights and categorizes suspicious regions of interest across lung, pleura, mediastinum/hila/heart, bone, hardware and other categories; trained clinicians remain responsible for primary interpretation.

Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.

Integration
qXR client software sends de-identified radiographs to the service through HTTPS, and results are passed to the client for transfer to PACS or another receiving system.

  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-06
Deployment and data flow
The FDA summary describes a secure cloud-server deployment with de-identified radiographs transmitted via HTTPS client software; its comparison table also describes on-premises or cloud deployment.

Security and privacy
Vendor documentation pending
  • Vendor confirmation
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-06

The label's HTTPS/de-identification data-flow description is not a formal, dated and scoped security assessment.
