Scottsdale, AZ-based outpatient medical imaging provider SimonMed will integrate AI software developed by Brainet for analyzing resting-state functional MRI data.
The AI tracks oxygenation levels of blood in the brain and highlights the oscillation between oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin. This reveals the synchronous or asynchronous functioning of brain networks related to crucial functions such as vision, hearing, sensorimotor skills, language, executive control, emotion, and memory, SimonMed said.
By comparing these networks against a control group of over 1,200 normal adults, the AI can help identify early signs of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's more accurately, the company noted.
