FDA Clears New AI-Powered Spine MRI Software
Trained on over five million spine MRI scans, the RAI software reportedly facilitates rapid pathology detection and enhanced consistency with disc measurement.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for RAI, an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled software for spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that may foster improved detection of abnormal findings and degenerative pathology.
Currently utilized by over 300 radiologists worldwide, the RAI software (Remedy Logic) offers automated segmentation and disc measurements that may reduce reading time for radiologists. The software also flags incidental findings, identifies abnormalities, and provides concise summaries for pathology detection, according to Remedy Logic.

The company noted that RAI, which will be showcased at the upcoming Radiological Society of North American (RSNA) 2004 Annual Meeting in Chicago, has been trained with over five million spine MRI scans.
“This achievement (FDA clearance) underscores our commitment to improving efficiency for radiologists for improved safety for patients and completeness and objectivity for referring physicians. who have been left behind by innovation, while addressing the critical issue of spine MRI volumes outpacing available radiologists,” noted Andrej Rusakov, the CEO of Remedy Logic.
Can Photon-Counting CT be an Alternative to MRI for Assessing Liver Fat Fraction?
March 21st 2025Photon-counting CT fat fraction evaluation offered a maximum sensitivity of 81 percent for detecting steatosis and had a 91 percent ICC agreement with MRI proton density fat fraction assessment, according to new prospective research.
Study: Monitoring of Prostate MRI Exams Could Lead to 75 Percent Reduction of Gadolinium Contrast
March 17th 2025While DCE MRI was deemed helpful in over 67 percent of cases in which it was used, researchers found that monitored prostate MRI exams, which facilitated a 75 percent reduction of DCE MRI sequences, had comparable sensitivity for prostate cancer as non-monitored exams.
