Cutting-edge quantitative volumetric and DTI analysis solution for brain injury expands to the US Radiology network of over 180 patient imaging sites.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. and RALEIGH, N.C., March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- US Radiology Specialists Inc. (US Radiology) and MINDSET Integrated Co. (MINDSET®) today announced an expanded strategic distribution agreement. This collaboration will significantly increase access to MINDSET's quantitative volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) analysis software, Quantify®, across the US Radiology network.
Designed from the ground up to ensure the sensitivity of brain structure and white matter integrity analyses, Quantify is used extensively by providers as an aid in the assessment of many brain health conditions, including traumatic brain injury (TBI). The reliability of findings in a Quantify evaluation is possible due to a rigorous scientific evaluation designed to be the most sensitive measure of brain abnormality currently available.
MINDSET has established a proprietary normative database of over 1,000 volumetric MRI and DTI control datasets collected on rigorously controlled MRI scanners using specific parameters. Uniquely, a scaling process is used to calibrate every client scanner to the Quantify control database. This scanner harmonization allows for accurate comparison of datasets to the normative database with a level of precision unprecedented in the industry- solving the significant problems of inter-scanner variability in noise artifacts and magnetic field inhomogeneities.
Additional quality control measures include multi-point segmentation, motion and data artifact inspections and statistical correction for multiple comparisons to ensure scientifically robust reporting in every case. This multi-step process was carefully designed to produce scientifically valid, reliable, and legally admissible results.
"We have always believed in investing in the latest imaging technology and working with the highest quality, subspecialized radiology groups to serve our patients," said Dan Balentine, Group President of US Radiology Outpatient Imaging Services. "By collaborating with MINDSET, I believe that we can add significantly more quantitative data in support of the diagnostic information provided to our referring physician community, allowing us to drive the best clinical outcomes for our patients."
"We believe MINDSET's Quantify reporting allows us to provide the most comprehensive clinical information pertaining to traumatic brain injury. We are very excited about expanding our relationship with MINDSET and look forward to continuing to enhance the quality of our diagnostic imaging services," added Balentine.
"We are very excited about the opportunity to expand MINDSET's volumetric and DTI quantification services across the US Radiology network," said MINDSET Chief Executive Officer Chris Airriess, PhD, an industry veteran. "Our extensive relationship with US Radiology's partner company, American Health Imaging, has shown the reach and impact that Quantify can have when deployed through top-tier outpatient imaging networks and has paved the way for this broader deployment across US Radiology's national footprint."
Several American Health Imaging and Touchstone Medical Imaging centers in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Texas, and Florida are fully equipped to provide Quantify reporting today. Additionally, more sites across US Radiology are scheduled to come online in the coming months, further expanding the company's reach and capabilities.
