CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ConcertAI's TeraRecon, the advanced visualization and clinical AI SaaS company, today announced the addition of Lucida Medical to its Eureka Clinical AI Platform ecosystem. It will be deployed within the UK's National Health Service (NHS) and European healthcare systems.

Pi™ (Prostate Intelligence™), Lucida Medical's AI-machine learning software, is designed to help radiologists detect prostate cancer lesions from MRI, enabling faster and more accurate prostate cancer detection. MRI is now the preferred technique to assess a range of cancers, including prostate and metastatic disease. However, radiologists currently require a labor-intensive, specialist training for interpreting prostate MRI, creating a growing skills challenge.

Prostate cancer diagnosis using MRI represents a major step forward compared to earlier methods but remains prone to human error. The ground-breaking PROMIS study (Lancet 2017; 389: 815–22) indicated that radiologists can miss 12% of significant cancers on MRI, and lead to 55% of individuals without significant cancer receiving a painful and costly biopsy. The study presented at ECR 2021 suggests that Lucida Medical's AI technology could help cut missed cancers to 7% and unnecessary biopsies to 24%, as well as making the process faster.

"Prostate Cancer is a devastating disease impacting millions of men worldwide. As a company, ConcertAI is committed to advancing cancer research solutions and working with the worlds Biomedical and MedTech innovators," said Jeff Elton, PhD. CEO of ConcertAI. "The addition of Lucida Medical's Pi solution as part of the TeraRecon Eureka Clinical AI ecosystem is an important advance for radiology teams working with urology and oncology healthcare practices. Lucinda's Pi™ solution supports earlier and accurate detection, critical to achieving the best possible outcomes and treatment options for the highest quality of life for patients."

"We are delighted to empower the wide community of TeraRecon users with our MR based prostate solution," said Dr. Antony Rix, CEO and Co-founder, Lucida Medical. "This global partnership brings healthcare providers closer to achieving faster and more accurate detection of the most common cancer in men."

Eureka Clinical AI by TeraRecon is a robust platform powering 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd party algorithms on one consolidated platform that integrates seamlessly into the PACS, provides a console to see all results and conversations across the patient's health care teams, and allows clinicians to directly interact with the AI to ensure accurate and holistic algorithm training.
