Follow on Google News | Oncoustics and Exact Imaging Expand Collaboration to Bring AI Diagnostics, Guidance and SurveillanceExpansion of partnership promises a future clinically viable AI solution on Micro-Ultrasound for urologists and patients.
By: Oncoustics Exact Imaging and Oncoustics entered into an initial agreement in June 2018 to apply Oncoustics' raw signal processing approach with AI/ML to micro-ultrasound data for prostate disease. Initial results on the large dataset obtained by the ExactVu™ micro-ultrasound system were promising and demonstrated that the Oncoustics' software provided viable and valuable real-time information on the risk of cancer in portions of the prostate based on ExactVu's near-microscopic resolution without the use of MRI. The ExactVu micro-ultrasound system provides the highest real-time resolution for guidance of transrectal and transperineal prostate biopsies. Oncoustics' ultrasound solution does not enhance image resolution. Rather, it mines seen and unseen signal information and yields significantly better categorization of tissue function and pathology than is possible with conventional or other AI-based approaches. On a high-resolution system like the ExactVu, the combination of these approaches promises enhanced efficacy and ease of use in real time visualization and targeted biopsy. "Our approach at Oncoustics is to process the raw ultrasound signal, before any image is created," said Ahmed El Kafas, PhD, founder of the Oncoustics solution. "This approach enables us to apply quantitative tissue analysis and characterization to aid the clinician in evaluating disease." "Exact Imaging has been focused on bringing the most innovative and practical products and tools possible to urologists to perform targeted biopsies within a standard urological workflow," said Randy AuCoin, CEO of Exact Imaging. "Working with Oncoustics allows us to be able to provide a robust AI algorithm and methodology that builds on our promise to enhance productivity and improve patient outcomes."
