Problems

Hip osteoarthritis affects almost 36 million people worldwide and is a leading driver of disability in older adults.1 Accurate measurement is central to every treatment decision — from conservative management to surgical planning and post-operative follow-up. Yet for radiologists and orthopedics managing high case volumes, manual hip radiograph analysis is slow and reader-dependent.

Time-consuming

High inter-reader variability

Solutions

IB Lab Hippo delivers automated hip measurements in under 20 seconds2* — integrated directly into existing radiology workflows with zero additional steps. The analysis is attached as a visual report to the original study in your PACS — no extra login, no manual steps.

Under 20 seconds.

IB Lab Hippo analyzes pelvic and hip radiographs with an average reading time of 15.8 seconds.2*

Comprehensive pre-operative analysis.

IB Lab Hippo automates the measurement of native hip geometry, including LLD and baseline offsets, providing a fast and objective foundation for surgical planning.

Standardized post-operative analysis

The software automatically determines post-operative leg length discrepancy, offsets and cup positioning (inclination and version) to support reproducible implant evaluation and documentation.**

Intended use

IB Lab HIPPO is a fully-automated AI-driven software device for processing anteroposterior (AP) radiographs of the hip or pelvis. It is designed to leverage deep-learning-based algorithms to detect anatomical features in order to aid users in the assessment of hip morphology and the estimation of quantitative hip parameters associated with various pathologies. IB Lab HIPPO is intended to be used on adult patients with suspicion or diagnosis of hip pathologies including hip dysplasia, femoro-acetabular impingement, and osteoarthritis. IB Lab HIPPO is intended to be used by healthcare professionals trained in radiology. It should not be used in-lieu of full patient evaluation or solely relied upon to make or confirm a diagnosis. All AI-generated measurements and morphological insights must be reviewed by a healthcare professional trained in radiology.

What our customers say:

Jack Farr - Orthopedist

ImageBiopsy AI software is highly accurate and efficient within our PACS system, which provides valuable information on the status of the knee along the continuum of chondrosis to arthrosis.

Jack Farr, MD
Orthopedist

The integration of the AI ​​solutions by ImageBiopsy Lab into our RIS and PACS is easy and well done. It is fun to work with and the clarity of the visualized report is an ideal support for our patient consultation.

Jochen Mueller-Stromberg, MD
Orthopedist

AI-based solutions reduce the amount of work and the findings become more accurate. An objective value is given which can be used both for monitoring and forecasting the progress. We offer something that others don’t have.

Michael Gruber, MD
Radiologist

Exact diagnosis and reproducible follow-up exams are indispensable for a successful osteoarthritis therapy. Software-based methods can assist the physician in the therapy management and adjustment process.
