London-based medical AI company Bering Limited has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its BraveCX AI-powered chest x-ray triage software.
BraveCX is a computer-assisted triage and notification software that analyzes adult (≥ 18 years old) chest x-rays for the presence of prespecified suspected findings. The product was developed on over 1 million chest x-rays and has yielded an area under the curve of 0.96 for pleural effusion and 0.98 for pneumothorax in testing, the company said.

(A, B) Paired anteroposterior (AP) chest radiograph and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) report shows lumbar spine (L1 through L4) areal bone mineral density (BMD). The DXA report was reformatted for anonymization and improved readability. The patient had low BMD (Z score ≤ −2.0). (C) Model (chest radiography [CXR]–BMD) output shows the predicted raw BMD and Z score in comparison with the DXA reference standard, together with interpretability analyses using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and gradient-weighted class activation maps. The patient was classified as having low BMD, consistent with the reference standard.
