FDA Clears RadNet's Updated AI Software for Prostate MRI
An update to Quantib Prostate 2.1, Quantib Prostate 3.0 reportedly facilitates workflow advances and offers a variety of tools, ranging from artificial intelligence (AI)-based segmentation to PI-RADS scoring support, to help improve interpretation of prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance to Quantib Prostate 3.0 (RadNet), an artificial intelligence (AI)-based software that may bolster radiology workflow and interpretation of prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Key features for Quantib Prostate 3.0, an update to Quantib Prostate 2.1 software, include an improved algorithm for prostate and subregion segmentation and automated lesion drawing on the PI-RADS sector map, according to RadNet.
The company adds that other benefits for enhancing the quality and speed of prostate MRI reporting include PSA (prostate-specific antigen) density calculation, one-click segmentation of lesion candidates, and precise registration and movement correction.
“The (clearance) of Quantib Prostate 3.0 represents another step forward in advancing prostate cancer care by bringing the latest in AI technology to MRI interpretation,” noted Gregory Sorenson, M.D., the president of RadNet’s AI Division. “With the increasing recognition of the important role MRI plays in prostate cancer diagnosis, we believe physicians will value the power that this software puts in their hands.”

Can Generative AI Facilitate Simulated Contrast Enhancement for Prostate MRI?
January 14th 2025Deep learning synthesis of contrast-enhanced MRI from non-contrast prostate MRI sequences provided an average multiscale structural similarity index of 70 percent with actual contrast-enhanced prostate MRI in external validation testing from newly published research.
Can MRI-Based AI Enhance Risk Stratification in Prostate Cancer?
January 13th 2025Employing baseline MRI and clinical data, an emerging deep learning model was 32 percent more likely to predict the progression of low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) to clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), according to new research.
Study Emphasizes PSMA PET Staging of High-Risk, Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer
January 4th 2025In patients with high-risk, hormone sensitive prostate cancer who had no evidence of metastasis on conventional imaging, PSMA PET revealed polymetastatic disease in 24 percent of patients and M1 disease staging in 46 percent of patients.
Can MRI and Micro-Ultrasound Guidance Bolster Focal Laser Ablation Outcomes for Prostate Cancer?
January 3rd 2025For patients with localized prostate cancer and PI-RADS 3 or higher lesions, MRI-guided micro-ultrasound multifiber focal laser ablation had an 18 percent recurrence rate at one year, according to newly published research.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Can AI Enhance PET/MRI Assessment for Extraprostatic Tumor Extension in Patients with PCa?
December 17th 2024The use of an adjunctive machine learning model led to 17 and 21 percent improvements in the AUC and sensitivity rate, respectively, for PET/MRI in diagnosing extraprostatic tumor extension in patients with primary prostate cancer.
