FDA Clears Adjunctive AI Mapping of White Matter on Diffusion MRI
Through automated processing of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, the Advanced Neuro Diagnostic Imaging (ANDI) software performs detailed analysis of white matter microstructure.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for Advanced Neuro Diagnostic Imaging (ANDI, Imeka), an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled neuroimaging software that provides mapping of white matter microstructure on diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Employing a combination of modelling reconstruction algorithms, fiber bundling and tractography, the ANDI software platform assesses the microstructure of connecting white matter bundles through automated processing of diffusion-weighted MRI, according to Imeka.
The company said the ANDI software provides detailed analysis of the micro- and macrostructural values of white matter bundles and produces a subsequent DICOM-encapsulated PDF report noting white matter bundles that may have significant deviation from normative values.
“Imeka is pioneering AI in diffusion MRI-based white matter imaging to evaluate microstructural properties of white matter in greater detail than any other techniques,” noted Jean-Rene Belanger, the chief executive officer of Imeka.
Imeka added that recently announced CPT 3 codes from the American Medical Association (AMA) are geared toward quantitative brain MRI assessment and should facilitate reimbursement for use of the ANDI software.
Can Deep Learning Radiomics with bpMRI Bolster Accuracy for Prostate Cancer Prognosis?

Seven Takeaways from New CT and MRI Guidelines for Ovarian Cancer Staging
January 20th 2025In an update of previous guidelines from the European Society of Urogenital Radiology published in 2010, a 21-expert panel offered consensus recommendations on the utility of CT, MRI and PET-CT in the staging and follow-up imaging for patients with ovarian cancer.
Can AI Bolster Breast Cancer Detection in DBT Screening?
January 16th 2025In sequential breast cancer screening with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), true positive examinations had more than double the AI case score of true negative examinations and the highest positive AI score changes from previous exams, according to new research.
