Ultrasound AI database exceeds four million images
Intelligent Ultrasound (AIM: MED), the intelligent ultrasound
software and simulation company, announces that its database used
in the development of its artificial intelligence ("AI") products
now exceeds four million ultrasound images.
The continued growth of the Group's image database is an
important component of the Company's strategy, as the image library
will help it develop additional AI-based software solutions that
can automatically recognise and assess ultrasound images to improve
the speed and quality of medical ultrasound scanning across a
number of clinical applications.
In July 2019, the Group announced that it had signed its first
long term licence and co-development agreement for its AI software
with one of the world's leading ultrasound equipment manufacturers.
The long-term agreement will enable the integration of Intelligent
Ultrasound's real-time image analysis software onto a range of
specialty specific ultrasound systems within the global healthcare
market.
The Group's range of AI-based software aims to boost scanning
quality and to streamline sonographer workflow in medical
ultrasound areas such as anaesthesiology, obstetrics, gynaecology,
radiology and primary care medicine.
Commenting, Nicholas Sleep, CTO at Intelligent Ultrasound said:
"The continued growth of our image database is a key component of
our AI development strategy and we are delighted to now have over
four million images in the library. Automated image analysis has
the potential to have a huge impact on the medical imaging market
and our expanding image database will enable us to continue to
develop new AI software products that we believe will be attractive
to the major equipment manufactures in the global ultrasound
market."
