And now a word about neurology news....New imaging technology to automate and bring MRI capabilities to the physician's desktop with intracranial structures....BD
LA JOLLA, Calif., Sept 20, 2007 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- CorTechs Labs Inc., a pioneer in the development of advanced analysis methods for neuroimaging data, today announced the commercial release of NeuroQuant(TM), a software tool that can deliver fully-automated neurological magnetic resonance image analysis and reporting to the physician's desktop. This novel capability promises to make quantitative MRI analysis a routine part of clinical practice. NeuroQuant. is currently compatible with Mac OS X and Linux-based computers for use with 3D MRI scans.
NeuroQuant(TM) has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for marketing as a medical device "intended for automatic labeling, visualization and volumetric quantification of segmentable brain structures from a set of MR images". It can receive MRI scans routed from a scanner or Picture-Archiving and Communication System (PACS) as input and can automatically return age-related atrophy reports and numerical and color-blended anatomical volumes annotated with graphical overlays to most DICOM-compliant PACS viewers or third-party workstations. NeuroQuant(TM) can be configured to provide automated MRI quantification solutions that meet the needs of independent healthcare providers, imaging centers, and large enterprises conducting multi-site clinical trials.
