Two new artificial intelligence-based software assistants in the Siemens Healthineers AI-Rad Companion family free radiologists from routine activities during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. The AI-Rad Companion Brain MR for Morphometry Analysis automatically segments the brain in MRI images; measures the volume of gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid in various segments of the brain; and compares the results to normal volumes. The AI-Rad Companion Prostate MR for Biopsy Support automatically segments the prostate on MRI images and marks the organ’s outer contour in seconds, enabling radiologists to mark lesions and facilitating targeted, MRI-supported biopsies that can help the urologist detect significant prostate carcinomas. Both new AI-Rad Companion software assistants can be used on MRI scanners from Siemens Healthineers as well as outside manufacturers, and are available on teamplay, the cloud-based digital health platform from Siemens Healthineers.[1]
