Radiologists often look for biomarkers in medical imagery: features that help diagnose a disease and monitor its progression. A time-consuming activity that is largely based on semi-quantitative measurement methods. This makes interpretation quite subjective and potentially inconsistent. The machine learning algorithms developed by researchers at Quantib can ‘recognise’ various regions of the brain based on 3D imagery and calculate the volumes of each region. As such, Quantib® ND supports radiologists in their interpretation of MRI brain scans. Changes in the brain are visible in MRI imagery and are related to factors such as ageing, dementia, and multiple sclerosis (MS). As such, Quantib® ND facilitates even faster detection of tissue changes than the naked eye is capable of, with the aim of supporting and objectifying the diagnostic process. Quantib® ND is being used at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, among others.
