Can a New Prostate MRI Software Have an Impact?
Emphasizing restriction spectrum imaging (RSI), the recently launched prostate MRI software OnQ Prostate may enhance PI-RADS assessments and workflow efficiency.
In order to enhance the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), Cortechs.ai has launched OnQ Prostate, a post-processing software that may bolster prostate MRI interpretation through a proprietary diffusion-weighted imaging called restriction spectrum imaging (RSI).
Originally developed for brain cancer imaging, RSI reportedly increases the detection of aggressive cancer cells, according to Cortechs.ai. The company noted that research with the FDA-cleared OnQ Prostate software has demonstrated improved in vivo characterization and localization of csPCa on diffusion MRI imaging.

In addition to improved accuracy with PI-RADS assessments, Cortechs.ai said the OnQ Prostate software offers a versatility that can enhance workflows with radiologists and referring providers by facilitating patient selection for biopsy procedures, treatment planning and post-treatment assessment.
“This announcement is an important step in increasing the awareness and accessibility of OnQ Prostate beyond its earliest adopters so that more physicians and patients can benefit from this technology,” says Brittany Hunt, the head of prostate business development at Cortechs.ai.
