Could an embedded AI system within mammography devices provide enhanced images, bolster workflow efficiency, and reduce hardware upgrade costs?
MedCognetics said the combination of its CogNet AI-MT AI-powered mammography software with the medical-grade edge AI platform NVIDIA IGX Orin enables real-time processing of high-quality mammography images.
The combination of AI technologies reportedly facilitates improved image clarity and detail as well as worklist prioritization for a significantly lower cost than hardware upgrades for mammography devices, according to MedCognetics.
“Embedding our CogNet AI-MT software directly into mammography imaging equipment means we can enhance image quality and provide immediate cancer detection without the need for costly hardware upgrades,” said Debasish “Ron” Nag, the CEO of MedCognetics. “Using the NVIDIA IGX platform, we’re advancing medical imaging technology, making high-quality diagnostic tools more accessible to radiologists and imaging centers around the world.”
