Pixyl.Neuro.MS

AI solution to support diagnosis and monitoring of multiple sclerosis (MS)

Pixyl.Neuro.MS is a deep learning tool assisting radiologists in MRI diagnosis and monitoring of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. For each region of the brain, Pixyl.Neuro.MS counts the lesions present and calculates their overall volume, integrating the results fully automatically in the radiologist’s usual reading environment. The algorithm studies T2 FLAIR or T1 GADO sequences to identify hypersignals caused by white matter inflammation in MS.

Automatic detection, quantification and characterization of lesions in anatomical areas of interest

Pixyl.Neuro.MS measures the volume and lesion load for the entire brain and for every brain regions of interest (periventricular, juxtacortical, infratentorial, deep white matter) with regard to McDonald’s criteria (2017 revision)).

Longitudinal analysis of disease evolution if prior exam is present in the PACS

Pixyl.Neuro.MS automatically measures disease activity by segmenting and characterizing white matter evolution of lesions based on prior exams.

Automated production of a structured report and a segmented series (lesion outline) directly in the PACS

Pixyl.neuro provides the radiologist with a complete quantitative report on the lesions, their characteristics and evolution, as well as their visualization on the annotated brain images.

Testimonial

At the MAIL clinical group in Grenoble, we use Pixyl.Neuro.MS on FLAIR sequences for our multiple sclerosis patients.
The sensitivity of the algorithm is excellent, highlighting even the smallest lesions that would have been missed by the naked eye. Pixyl’s analysis is also valuable for high-lesion loads, enabling the detection of tiny variations of confluent lesions, thus improving their follow up.
The lesion-volume quantification offers a particularly useful rationalization for therapeutic decisions, thus improving patient care.
