Phoenix, AZ, Jan. 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Accumen is helping healthcare get better, faster. Today, Accumen announced a new partnership with icometrix, which will allow it to provide hospitals and health systems nationally with access to the AI-based icobrain software.
Icobrain enables radiologists to identify abnormalities and structural changes in the brain of patients with multiple sclerosis, dementia, epilepsy, stroke, and brain trauma with the highest accuracy. The use of icobrain can reduce the duration of suboptimal treatment for multiple sclerosis patients from 3.9 to 1.2 years by permitting the inclusion of brain- and lesion volume change findings into their disease management.[1]
“This is such an exciting time at 3DR Labs as we continue to expand our radiology services footprint for our clients. We can help hospitals navigate the roadblocks in AI integration so they can provide their patients with the best diagnostic tools available. Patients with brain diseases don’t have time to wait. We are delighted to be able to help physicians get the resources they need to provide those patients with the best treatment available, faster,” said Dr. Robert Falk, 3DR.
Accumen continues to support hospitals and health systems nationally, regularly adding new resources to its COVID-19 Resource Center at https://accumen.com/covid-19/#accumenresponsetools. Resources include laboratory, imaging, and supply chain rapid response tools, as well as personal protective equipment, and swab or saliva testing kits available for order through Accumen’s U.S.-based manufacturing partners.
