Imaging Biometrics® installation at Barrow Neurological Institute

Imaging Biometrics®, LLC (“IB”), a subsidiary of IQ-AI Limited (LON:IQAI), announced today that Barrow Neurological Institute: Dignity Health, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center (“BNI”) has installed a new IB Rad Tech software platform to help assess treatment response for patients with brain tumors. BNI has led the way in the development of cutting-edge diagnosis, treatment, and neurosurgical procedures for patients with brain tumors. Every year, Barrow treats thousands of patients with brain tumors, including some of the most difficult cases in the world.  IB Rad Tech was chosen for its ability to efficiently generate quantitative maps of enhancing regions of tumor (Delta T1) and fractional tumor burden (“FTB”). IB’s perfusion-derived FTB maps have been shown to aid clinicians in distinguishing tumor from non-tumor tissue.

IB Rad Tech offers customised workflows that automate the generation of sophisticated maps, outputs quality assurance indices, and can allow manual acknowledgement and intervention during intermediate processing steps. For example, one workflow used in generating quantitative Delta T1 and FTB maps relies on an exclusive machine-learned calibration technology termed “standardisation”, which works for all platforms and field strengths. This step has proven superior to conventional normalisation techniques as it eliminates the need for the manual placement of regions of interest (ROIs) by radiology staff or physicians thereby reducing error and improving workflow efficiencies.

David Smith, CEO of IB, said, “Using this automated normalisation algorithm within an IB Rad Tech workflow enables objective longitudinal assessment and can help assess whether a certain treatment protocol is working for brain tumor patients. Removing the variability of the manually-placed ROI is a more repeatable and faster method to do inter- and intra-study comparisons for multi-center clinical trials as well.”

“Without IB Rad Tech, we would not be able to process the high volume of studies we see at our site,” said Dr. John Karis, MD, Director of MRI and brain imaging for the Department of Neuroradiology at Barrow Neurological Institute, Dignity Health St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center. “Our MR Technologists are now able to quickly and consistently generate IB’s advanced maps, and the clinicians trust the science on which Delta T1 and FTBs are based”, added Josef Debbins, PhD, Staff Scientist, Keller Center for Imaging Innovation at Barrow.

The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the contents of this announcement.
