Improved diagnostic of neurodegenerative diseases enabled by precise measurement values

 

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the loss of nerve cells in the brain. Thereby, the term neurodegenerative disease includes, but is not limited to dementia (including Alzheimer), Parkinson and Multiple sclerosis, among other diseases. Diagnosing these diseases poses a challenge for phyiscians as it is difficult to differentiate between pathological and age-appropriate changes.

To date, radiological diagnosis was solely based on visual appraisement. Artificial intelligence now allows the addition of objective measurement values. The brain volumetry provided by AIRAscore analyses MR-data by means of artificial intelligence. Thereby, the exact volume of dedicated brain areas is scored.

The result of this analysis are precise measurements, aiding physicians with the early and differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. Brain volumetry is an innovative tool for radiologists, neurologists and psychiatrists and plays a key role in early diagnosis. The advent of novel treatment options, however, requiring therapy inititation at an early time-point, makes quantitative brain volumetry a tool of paramount importance.

4 good reasons for AIRAscore

AIRAscore software solutions enable standardized and objective appraisement based on precise measurements. This way, the subjective appraisal of your physician is supplemented by an objective data base.

You too can benefit from the added value of AIRAscore software solutions!

Meaningful early diagnosis

Meaningful early diagnosis of dementia is of increasing importance. New medications and therapies are on the horizon. Reliable measurement values are an essential building block for sizing up changes of brain volume and for risk assessment of neurodegenerative diseases - especially at an early time-point..

Precise differential diagnosis

AI declasses the human eye. Visually distinguishing between different neurodegenerative diseases is to date difficult, if not impossible. In order to initiate a therapy, it is paramount to identify the disorder as accurately as possible. Objective volumetry of individual brain areas are an important and innovative tool for precise differential diagnostics.

Double reliability

AIRAmed software solutions support your doctor with objective and comparable measured values for his findings report. And as a patient, you can be sure that the findings are supported by objective reference values in addition to the doctor’s personal expertise.

Medical expertise

Our products are based on our own experience from everyday clinical practice as well as current research findings. We know your concerns firsthand – just like the requirements of your treating physicians.

This is how it works

 

 

MRI images of your brain

The prerequisite for an evaluation is MRI data of your brain.

They are generated in a few minutes by your radiologist and sent electronically from the physicans's office to AIRAmed for further analysis.

 

 

Encrypted transmission for maximum data protection

The data is transmitted in accordance with data protection regulations and pseudonymised so that no conclusions can be drawn about your identity outside the practice or clinic.

 

 

Analysis of your image data

Our software will now measure the individual areas of your brain, compare them with a large reference population and display exact measurement results in a detailed report.

 

 

Evaluation report within minutes

The radiologist receives the evaluation report back within minutes and can integrate the result directly into his report preparation and discuss it with you, if necessary.

An excerpt of our references

‘Especially in the case of rare neurological diseases, we are often faced with the problem of whether an individual brain scan is already conspicuous or not. AIRAscore provides great help in our daily work.’

Prof. Dr. Ludger Schöls
Neurologist, University Hospital of Tübingen, Germany

‘With AIRAscore structure, I can support my diagnosis and diagnose changes in brain volume that I would only have been able to detect much later with a purely visual assessment. This added value pleases my patients, but also me as a doctor.’

Dr. Sören Danz
Radiologist, Sindelfingen, Germany

‘I am pleased to be able to offer my patients the additional service provided by AIRAscore. Experience shows that very many patients are afraid of dementia in old age. AIRAscore helps me to distinguish healthy from sick aging and I recognize much earlier than with the pure visual findings whether and when concrete action is needed.’

Dr. Nicola Meyer
Radiologist, Hamburg, Germany

‘I am pleased that with AIRAscore structure we now have a way to benefit from the latest scientific findings in our private practice. It only takes a few minutes until I have exact measurement values directly in my PACS, which significantly improve my reporting options.’

PD Dr. Hansjörg Rempp
Radiologist, Stuttgart, Germany

‘We now use AIRAscore structure routinely with our inpatients. The findings report gives us the necessary security here in the assessment of dementia-related diseases.’

Prof. Dr. Gerhard Eschweiler
Psychiatrist, University Hospital of Tübingen, Germany
