New plug-in for aycan workstation detects and stages liver disease eliminating need for invasive biopsies

advanced technology eliminates need for invasive biopsies

Rochester, New York, January 22, 2021.
aycan, a recognized worldwide leader in medical imaging, announced today the availability of a new software plug-in for aycan workstation, Liver Surface Nodularity (LSN). Developed by AI Metrics, LLC and manufactured by aycan business partner Imaging Biometrics, this advanced technology provides a non-invasive method to diagnose and stage chronic liver disease and predict future liver events without the need for a patient biopsy. 

With higher stages of chronic liver disease, the liver surface becomes more nodular due to increasing amounts of liver fibrosis. Liver surface nodularity (LSN) is visible on routine abdominal CT images. Using the advanced LSN software, radiologists can now non-invasively and rapidly measure LSN from routine abdominal CT images and generate a Liver Score, which can be used to evaluate the severity of chronic liver disease, eliminating the need for a biopsy.

aycan workstation is an FDA 510(k) cleared, vendor-neutral, highly functional advanced image-processing tool and DICOM PACS workstation for conventional, multi-slice, and other image reading. aycan continually develops/adds clinical and workflow plug-ins to further enhance the capabilities of aycan workstation, which, in addition to the new LSN software, includes hanging protocols, and FusionSync (automatic image fusion plug-in).
