Neurocloud PET

Qubiotech
Neurocloud PET for quantitative brain PET image analysis provides neurology and nuclear medicine professionals with automatic assistance in the diagnosis and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases.
- FDG PET imaging: identifies regions with abnormal metabolism by comparative analysis against an extensive database of normals, stratified by age. An analysis based on regions of interest, asymmetries and parametric statistical analysis (voxel by voxel) is performed.
- Amyloid PET imaging: provides SUVR values and outcome (amyloid positive/negative) compared to validated thresholds.

Intended Use Statements
Intended use (according to CE) The Neurocloud PET software is intended to co-register PET and MRI images and to extract quantification values from the PET images, comparing the provided image to a database of healthy subjects. Neurocloud PET is not a diagnostic tool, and is not intended to provide any diagnostic guess. Nor the software results nor the provided report have a diagnostic value. The results must be reviewed and validated by a Nuclear Medicine Physician, which is the intended user of the device.
