CorTechs Labs and Nordic NeuroLab Announce Distribution Agreement to Expand NeuroQuant® Sales in Europe
San Diego, CA and Bergen, Norway (PRWEB) May 12, 2014 -- NeuroQuant is the first FDA-cleared and CE-Mark pending software medical device for automatic segmentation and measurement of subcortical brain structures from a set of magnetic resonance images. This breakthrough solution provides neurologists and radiologists with objective evidence of neurodegeneration that can support their clinical impression.
“We are happy to be able to provide our neurology and radiology customers with NeuroQuant’s quantitative brain volume information,” said Fredrik Isdal, CEO of NNL. “The consistent and accurate data provided in NeuroQuant’s reports is a vital component in the assessment of neurodegenerative disease – such as Alzheimer’s, Epilepsy, TBI and Multiple Sclerosis.”
“Quantitative measurements of brain volume loss are essential elements that are currently missing in the diagnosis process of many brain disorders,” said Guri Stark, CEO of CorTechs Labs. “Working with the NNL team and their impressive imaging expertise will help us fulfill our mission to assist European physicians in effectively diagnosing and treating serious neurological disorders.”
