Quantib brain MRI quantification for dementia assessment
Erasmus MC incorporated Quantib brain measurements into routine dementia assessment
Problem
Visual assessment of brain atrophy depended substantially on the radiologist's experience. The Alzheimer centre needed quantitative support when interpreting brain scans.
Approach
Erasmus MC neuroradiologists used Quantib's commercial software to quantify brain atrophy at Alzheimercentrum Rotterdam. By 2021, they had used it for several years. The centre had also used prototypes before the commercial software became available.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
Automated quantification became part of the centre's radiology workflow. Neuroradiologist Marion Smits reported more precise atrophy assessment and greater sensitivity to subtle changes during follow-up.
