Koios DS is a software application designed to assist trained interpreting physicians in analyzing breast and thyroid ultrasound images. Koios DS software automatically classifies breast lesions suspicious for cancer based on image data into one of four ACR BI-RADS or European U1-U5 Classification System-aligned categories. Koios DS also categorizes thyroid nodules via the ACR TI-RADS or American Thyroid Association (ATA) risk stratification systems (RSSs) along with a cancer risk assessment presented as the Koios "AI Adapter."
