Saige Brain (Quantib® ND)

DeepHealth
Saige Brain (previously Quantib® ND) offers automated segmentation of brain structures and white matter hyperintensities. This machine learning radiology application provides insight into the possible presence of atrophy related to Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia. Saige Brain's follow-up feature allows for tracking of neuro degeneration over time. Automatic assessment of white matter hyperintensity development supports monitoring of MS patients.The software distinguishes between new and previously identified WMHs, providing a visualization with color-coded lesions super positioned on an anatomical map.

Intended Use Statements
Intended use (according to CE) Quantib ND is a non-invasive medical imaging processing application that is intended for automatic labeling, visualization, and volumetric quantification of segmentable brain structures from a set of magnetic resonance (MR) images. The Quantib ND output consists of segmentations, visualizations and volumetric measurements of brain structures and white matter hyperintensities. Volumetric measurements may be compared to reference centile data. It is intended to provide the trained medical professional with complementary information for the evaluation and assessment of MR brain images and to aid the trained medical professional in quantitative reporting.
