A recent study conducted at UKE Hamburg compared manual and software-assisted assessments of computed tomography (CT) scans according to iRECIST (immune Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) in oncological patients undergoing immune-based treatment. Utilizing mint Lesion™ for software-assisted assessment, the study found that software-assisted assessments resulted in shorter reading times, lower error rates, and higher inter-reader agreement compared to manual assessments. The researchers thus concluded that software-assisted iRECIST assessments are preferable over manual approaches for optimal oncological response evaluation.
