In addition to a previously FDA-cleared brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) module, the Advantis Platform features an artificial intelligence-powered prostate MRI module that offers simultaneous viewing of conventional and advanced sequences, and reportedly generates automated PI-RADS assessments.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reportedly granted 510(k) clearance to the Advantis Platform (Advantis Medical Imaging), which offers artificial intelligence-enabled modules for multiparametric prostate MRI as well as brain MRI analysis.
The Advantis Prostate module streamlines radiology workflows with automated diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI maps, and simultaneous viewing of advanced and conventional sequences in one viewer, according to Advantis Medical Imaging. The company adds that the Advantis Prostate module provides automated PI-RADS reporting with one click.

Advantis Medical Imaging said the Advantis Brain module (which previously garnered FDA 510(k) clearance under the name Brainance MD) offers a variety of features including automated processing of dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI perfusion scans with expedient exporting of maps and key findings to the existing PACS system. Another benefit of Advantis Brain is fully automated tractography with single-click fiber tracking on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), according to the company.
“This latest FDA clearance is a testament to our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that streamline workflows and provide clinicians with reliable, accessible and efficient software tools,” noted Zoi Giavri, the chief product office for Advantis Medical Imaging. “Our recent integration of the multiparametric prostate MRI module in our software suite, Advantis Platform, complements the existing brain MRI module while both of them enable healthcare professions to more easily extract meaningful information from MRIs.”

MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Study: PSMA PET/CT More Advantageous than MRI for Locoregional Staging of Prostate Cancer
July 8th 2024For men with prostate cancer, new research demonstrates that 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT is 17 percent more accurate than mpMRI at identifying the final pathological tumor stage and 12 percent more accurate in detecting extracapsular extension.
Could MRI-Based AI Offer Better Risk Stratification for Prostate Cancer than PI-RADS?
July 3rd 2024The combination of deep learning assessment of prostate MRI with PI-RADS classification at a 15 percent risk threshold spared 49 percent of biopsies in comparison to 37 percent employing a PI-RADS>4 only cut-ff approach, according to new research.
