By GlobalDataIn October last year, VUNO gained FDA clearance for its Med-DeepBrain AI tool that characterises brain structures from MRI scans. The algorithms observe 100 brain regions and provide volumetric data on the structures, cortical thickness, and white matter hyperintensity. The company highlighted that the platform could be used to detect dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases in the early stages because the AI can present quantifiable brain data from the patient that had been compared with a normal population.
Earlier in 2023, Ezra won FDA 510(k) clearance for its AI technology Ezra Flash, for use in brain imaging. Ezra trained the AI to identify the most important components of an MRI scan that are required to produce a complete and precise image.
