AI Medical is shaping the future of neuroradiology by developing cutting-edge intelligent automation software tailored for clinical use. Our mission is to provide an accurate and timely diagnosis for many people around the globe. Current neuroradiological assessment has well-known weak spots – such as human-made errors, fluctuations in quality, and continuously increasing amount of data to be processed. The first product of AI Medical, an intelligent automation software for assessments of magnetic resonance follow-up scans called "Jazz" is intended to address those issues. Jazz has a powerful interactive user interface and built-in AI-based features to provide precise lesion detection and description in a minimal amount of reading time for radiologists. We are here to show how artificial intelligence will transform and empower the practice of neuroradiology and the lives of its patients!
