The CDM Insights software, which can be utilized with scans from 1.5T and 3T MRI, reportedly provides new measurements of cortical thickness and brain microstructure.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for CDM Insights, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based software that may facilitate early detection of neurodegeneration.
The cloud-native CDM (Cortical Disarray Measurement) Insights software enables neuroradiologists to assess new measurements of brain microstructure and cortical thickness that were previously unavailable in the United States, according to Oxford Brian Diagnostics, the developer of the CDM Insights software.

"Our technology empowers clinicians with the tools they need to detect subtle brain changes and to diagnose with confidence at an early stage,” noted Steven Chance, Ph.D., the CEO and co-founder of Oxford Brian Diagnostics. “These insights also help patients gain a better understanding of the changes happening in their brains, addressing the uncertainty often experienced with the early signs of Alzheimer's disease. Ultimately, this enables providers … to understand patient brain structure changes prior to symptom progression and improve patient outcomes."
The company said CDM Insights allows clinicians to monitor brain changes across multiple stages of adult life and enables assessment of patients with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. The software can be utilized with scans from 1.5T or 3T MRI devices, according to Oxford Brain Diagnostics.
FDA Clears Enhanced MRI-Guided Laser Ablation System
June 5th 2025An alternative to an open neurosurgical approach, the Visualase V2 MRI-Guided Laser Ablation System reportedly utilizes laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) for targeted soft tissue ablation in patients with brain tumors and focal epilepsy.
Can Abbreviated MRI Have an Impact in Differentiating Intraductal Papilloma and Ductal Secretion?
June 3rd 2025For patients with inconclusive ultrasound results, abbreviated breast MRI offers comparable detection of intraductal papilloma as a full breast MRI protocol at significantly reduced times for scan acquisition and interpretation, according to a new study.
