Fully automated solution for quantifying MR brain scans.

cNeuro cMRI is a tool for quantitative assessment of brain images providing clinical decision support in neurological disorders.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Cloud-based tool running in a standard browser.
  • Quantitative information about volumes of brain
    structures, and computed MTA & GCA.
  • Quantitative assessment of vascular burden including
    computed Fazekas.
  • Statistical comparison with a large reference database
    of cognitively normal subjects.
  • Interactive viewing of images and results.
  • Easy reporting.
MRI brain imaging is a critical tool in assessing patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Using visual assessment alone, it is difficult to identify subtle changes in brain atrophy and to identify patterns of atrophy that may be associated with different types of dementia. This can be overcome by the use of quantitative information. cMRI assists in accurate and consistent quantitative evaluation of MRI brain scans and presents the results in a report that is designed for referring physicians.

FEATURES

  • Cloud-based – software runs in a standard web browser.
  • Computation of volumes of 102 cortical and 31 subcortical regions from T1 images.
  • Computation of vascular burden from FLAIR images.
  • Computation of MTA, GCA (global & lobes) and Fazekas (EU only).
  • Interactive review of images with the ability to toggle overlays on/off for easy assessment of segmentation results.
  • Visualization of gray-matter concentration map supporting assessment of brain atrophy.
  • Quantitative information corrected for age, gender and head size.
  • Quantitative results presented in tabular form or as age and gender corrected plots.
  • Summary report for streamlined communication with referring physicians.
