Imaging AI firm MedCognetics is highlighting the successful testing and implementation of what it calls the first embedded AI image processing and cancer detection system for mammography.

The system uses the NVIDIA IGX Orin medical-grade edge AI platform alongside MedCognetics’ AI-powered software, CogNet AI-MT. CogNet AI-MT has been trained on a diverse global dataset to improve the performance of radiologists and help improve patient outcomes worldwide, the company said.

MedCognetics highlighted benefits of the system which include being an on-premises device, improved image quality, immediate results, cost-efficiency, optimized workflows, and easier upgrades.

The company in 2024 was awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its medical imaging AI technology in mammography.
