DALLAS, Aug. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spectral AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDAI) (“Spectral AI” or the “Company”), an artificial intelligence (AI) company focused on medical diagnostics for faster and more accurate treatment decisions in wound care, today announced that Dr. Jeffrey Carter will present data from an ongoing prospective multicenter study analyzing the use of Spectral AI’s DeepView? System, which utilizes non-invasive multispectral imaging technology and proprietary AI, to detect non-healing areas of a wound following thermal (burn) injury.

Dr. Carter is Medical Director of University Medical Center New Orleans Burn Center & Professor of Surgery at LSU Health New Orleans School of Medicine, and Spectral AI’s Chief Medical Consultant.

Dr. Carter and his team note that burn care resources in the U.S. are limited with only approximately 130 burn centers, a tight supply of available burn center beds on any given day, and a significant decline in burn surgeon training. These constraints would be magnified in a mass casualty event and likely result in inaccurate diagnoses and a diminished standard of care.

Spectral AI’s DeepView? System has a demonstrated ability to accurately assess burn depth which exceeds that of experienced physicians. This supports the Company’s belief that a high performing AI-driven model using multi-spectral imaging supplemented with clinician-based burn assessment is poised to positively impact the speed, treatment and potential outcomes for patients with acute burn wounds.

“The structural constraints in the ability of our healthcare system to treat burn victims combined with the complex nature of these wounds has resulted in significant challenges for clinicians, patients, and institutions,” said Dr. Carter. “We believe that Spectral AI’s DeepView? System for burn indication can address these care gaps by providing an immediate and informed burn wound assessment with accuracy that far exceeds that of even the most seasoned burn care physician. The predictive ability of this technology can provide significant advantages across the healthcare continuum on both a day-to-day basis and during a mass casualty situation.”
