In a significant step forward for both artificial intelligence and neurology, Neurophet, a company dedicated to advancing brain disease diagnosis and treatment, recently announced that its cutting-edge software, Neurophet AQUA, has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. FDA.

This milestone comes as the software introduces an innovative feature for analyzing multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic and often debilitating condition of the central nervous system.

 
Initially designed to focus on brain atrophy in neurodegenerative diseases, Neurophet AQUA has now expanded its capabilities to include the analysis of MS and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) using T2-FLAIR MRI images. 
 
By harnessing the power of AI, the software allows for rapid segmentation and analysis of brain scans, offering healthcare professionals precise measurements of MS lesions, their volume, and progression. Remarkably, it delivers these results in just five minutes, supporting clinicians in making quick, informed decisions for patient care.
 
MS, known for its recurring episodes of symptoms, requires ongoing monitoring to track disease progression and adjust treatment plans. MRI scans are essential for this process, and Neurophet AQUA has enhanced this monitoring by offering both 2D and 3D imaging capabilities. It also enables volumetric analysis of brain regions without the need for 3D T1 imaging, further increasing its utility in clinical settings.
 
The addition of MS analysis technology to Neurophet AQUA improves diagnostic accuracy and enhances prognostic capabilities, giving healthcare professionals a powerful tool to manage this complex disease. This new functionality is expected to strengthen Neurophet’s presence in global markets, particularly in the U.S. and Europe, where MS has a high prevalence.
 
Founded in 2016 by Jake Junkil Been and Donghyeon Kim, Neurophet has consistently pushed the boundaries of AI-driven solutions for brain health. In addition to Neurophet AQUA, the company’s product lineup includes Neurophet SCALE PET, which analyzes brain PET scans, and Neurophet tES/TMS LAB, a brain imaging treatment planning tool.
