Arterys is now offering artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software developed by Avicenna for flagging patients with neurovascular emergencies on CT on its cloud-based imaging platform.
Avicenna's Cina Head software was developed for use as an aid for radiologists in detecting large vessel occlusions and intracranial hemorrhages on CT angiography studies and directing patient management accordingly. Arterys said it has integrated the Avicenna algorithms into its own Mica platform and will make them available to its installed base in the coming weeks.
Along with other AI products, Avicenna's Cina head software now qualifies for reimbursement of up to $1,040 through the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services new technology add-on payment program. In a statement, Arterys said the reimbursement policy signals the readiness of AI to transform clinical practice.
![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
