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.

The number of all visible structures was fewer at an ambient light of 500 lux compared to both 25 and 75 lux. In addition, structure visibility was better with a gray wall color at all ambient light levels. Paired comparison between monitors showed better structure visibility on the high specification monitor for all condition.

Ultrasound nonmass breast lesion features may signal malignancy
By Amerigo Allegretto
Some nonmass breast lesion characteristics on ultrasound exams can be considered suspicious for malignancy at screening ultrasound.
November 5, 2024
Images depict a 43-year-old woman with a malignant nonmass lesion that was diagnosed as microinvasive ductal carcinoma. (A) Transverse and (B) longitudinal ultrasound images show a hypoechoic nonmass lesion (solid arrows) with segmental distribution in the left breast. The lesion has associated calcifications (dashed arrows in A). (C) Longitudinal color Doppler ultrasound image shows high vascularity. (D) Magnified image in the mediolateral oblique view from screening mammography shows grouped calcifications (arrows), which are considered a mammographic correlate of the ultrasound-detected nonmass lesion (A radiopaque marker attached to the skin is visible in the image because the mammographic exam was performed after screening breast ultrasound). Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and pathologic examination revealed ductal carcinoma in situ, but the lesion was upgraded to microinvasive ductal carcinoma at subsequent surgery (2.5-cm ductal carcinoma in situ, histologic grade II, estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2-negative).
