Cortechs.ai’ NeuroQuant provides valuable information to Boston area neurologists and radiologists in the assessment of TBI.
(San Diego, CA) October 13, 2015 – Cortechs.ai, the leading medical software innovator providing solutions for quantitative brain volume analysis, is pleased to announce that NeuroQuant® was chosen by the physicians who support the Dr. Robert C. Cantu Concussion Center at Emerson Hospital to help accurately quantify brain volume loss in athletes who suffer repetitive concussions and other types of traumatic brain injuries. The Dr. Robert C. Cantu Concussion Center provides service to patients served by Emerson Hospital in Concord, Massachusetts and the 25 towns in the hospital’s service area.
NeuroQuant provides automatic, accurate and consistent measurements of brain structures from 3D T1 MRI images, allowing neurologists and radiologists to easily review, assess, quantify and monitor brain volume loss and its changes over time, as compared to normative values.
“We are excited to work with Cortechs.ai and use NeuroQuant for the assessment of brain volumes in patients suffering sports related trauma,” commented Dr. Robert Cantu, Chief of Neurosurgery Service and Director of Sports Medicine at Emerson Hospital. “A thorough evaluation of my patients suffering concussions or other brain trauma is of the foremost importance, and with NeuroQuant we get a better insight into specific brain structures, as well as, the whole brain.”
“For many brain disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, NeuroQuant provides physicians an accurate measurement solution that provides objective evidence of neurodegeneration,” said Guri Stark, Cortechs.ai’ CEO. “Assessing the impact of repeat concussions on brain structures has been an important focus area for Cortechs.ai, and we are very pleased that Emerson Hospital recognized the benefits of using NeuroQuant in their concussion centers.”
