Neusoft Medical Systems: Enabling precision medicine with advanced technology

People all over the world passionately pursue their dreams only if their health is assured. In this era of personalised and precision medicine, Neusoft Medical Systems provides intelligent technology that can be applied to medical devices to enable medical professionals to make medical examinations easier and more efficient. This technology helps to satisfy customers’ diversified needs and bring care to more patients.

Here we will introduce two AI technologies that can be applied to our CT scanners. Both are currently works in progress.

ClearInfinity reduces noise and artifacts for better image clarity
ClearInfinity is a Deep Learning Reconstruction (DLR) technique that uses a network of multi-layer neurons preformed and trained to become more accurate and more efficient. It removes artifacts and provide natural images with sharper edges and reduced noise. This provides gains in resolution and improvement in clinical performance foreshowing its utility for routine clinical practice.

Using ClearInfinity for low dose coronary CT angiography
The number of streaks is very important in MPR planes for cardiac images, in particular in the axial plane. For FBP images, contours of hollow and solid organs all have streaks of contours and too much noise, therefore, spatial resolution in the axial MPR plane is seriously reduced. However, the ClearInfinity technology significantly decreases streak artifacts and reduces noise to deliver a natural and sharper low-dose coronary CTA.
Virtual Reality and vessel analysis are promising tools for diagnosis in cardiology and, combined with ClearInfinity, this promises to provide significant improvements in accuracy and efficiency, thereby decreasing variability in image interpretation.

A-Eye – a smart system for patient positioning
Neusoft Medical Systems has developed the A-Eye smart patient positioning system in order to improve the current scanning operation process and reduce the workload of doctors. Intelligent and accurate positioning can be realized by one-click operation with new smart cameras. Its main features are:

1. Automatic positioning
   Doctors can select the scanning protocol with one click in the operating room with no need to position the patient in the scanning room. The A-Eye intelligent positioning system, with innovative AI technology, can accurately identify the feature points of the body, automatically move the scanning table to the initial position of scanning and press the exposure button to realize image positioning and scanning, thus helping achieve the realization of automatic positioning and one-click efficient workflow.
2. Standardized workflow
   Compared to traditional positioning, Neusoft’s automatic positioning is faster and more efficient, which, to a large extent, reduces errors by manual operation. Meanwhile, the camera, with automatic calibration function, can calibrate the camera parameters without manual adjustment, which ensures the accuracy of each scan.
3. Non-contact workflow
   The intelligent positioning system avoids direct doctor-patient contact which is particularly useful during epidemics. In other words, doctors can do remote patient positioning, real-time monitoring and scanning of the patient.
