Providing automated brain volume calculations based on MRI images, NeuroShield’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered technology may help facilitate treatment for neurodegenerative conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s disease to epilepsy.
A brain volume quantification tool that may provide early insights on neurodegenerative conditions based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment, the artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled NeuroShield has garnered 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Currently being utilized in over 200 facilities across the world, NeuroShield offers automated brain volume assessment based upon 3D MRI scans, according to InMed.AI (InMed Prognostics), the developer of NeuroShield.
The company noted that the brain segmentation analysis provided with NeuroShield has demonstrated high accuracy rates across different clinical subgroups and magnetic strengths in a trial of 280 subjects. InMed.AI noted that NeuroShield may aid in the early detection of brain atrophy, possibly facilitating timely intervention for those at risk of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.
“We believe that investing in our collective human future and that technology is a great lever to move towards precision health to extend quality of life,” added Latha Poonamallee, Ph.D., the founder and CEO of InMed Prognostics.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Systematic Review: PET/MRI May be More Advantageous than PET/CT in Cancer Imaging
July 18th 2024While PET/MRI and PET/CT had comparable sensitivity for patient-level regional nodal metastases and lesion-level recurrence, the authors of a systematic review noted that PET/MRI had significantly higher accuracy in breast cancer and colorectal cancer staging.
