Assessing the loss of cartilage, the hallmark feature of knee osteoarthritis (OA), is difficult to do consistently in practice. Moreover, physicians read an average of 10 knee radiographs per day, amounting to approximately 40 minutes of the daily workload.
Consistent and accurate assessing of radiographic signs of OA does not only increase efficiency but also supports disease management. IB Lab KOALA™ is here to help!
DE The annual cost per patient ranges up to €10k
DE Over 200M patients worldwide and ~100M knee X-rays in the EU in 2020
DE Knee-OA has a lifetime risk of 45%
IB Lab KOALA™ uses deep learning technology for detecting radiographic signs of knee osteoarthritis and augments the reporting workflow. The software application scores the stage of osteoarthritis according to the Kellgren & Lawrence grading system. It also provides precise and automated measurements of the minimum joint space width, as well as assessment of the severity of joint space narrowing, osteophytosis and sclerosis based on OARSI criteria.
IB Lab KOALA™ highlights relevant clinical findings by applying the latest international medical standards to enable timely and accurate decision making. The findings are summarized in a visual output report, attached to the original x-ray image and saved automatically in the PACS system. The AI-results are fed as text into the predefined RIS-template for accelerated reporting. IB Lab KOALA™ facilitates monitoring of disease progression by facilitating comparison of radiographic disease parameters over time.

IB Lab KOALA uses deep learning technology for detecting radiographic signs of knee osteoarthritis and augments the reporting workflow. The system is to be used by trained medical professionals including, but not limited to, orthopedists and radiologists. It should not be used in-lieu of full patient evaluation or solely relied upon to make or confirm a diagnosis.
