ABOUT BOT IMAGE™, INC.

Our Story

Bot Image™, Inc. is a medical imaging software company that utilizes artificial intelligence technology for magnetic resonance imaging interpretation.

ProstatID™ is a radiological computer assisted detection (CADe) and diagnostic (CADx) software-only device for use in a healthcare facility or hospital to assist trained radiologists in the detection, assessment and characterization of lesions suspicious for cancer using MR image data. The software automatically registers images, then segments and analyzes the central gland and entire prostate organ. It identifies suspicious abnormalities by employing a pixel-wise random forest learning-based method based upon various features referenced to ground truth data on which it was trained.

Modeled after popular Breast Cancer AI, ProstatID is the first and only software FDA-cleared for not only prostate cancer detection and diagnosis but screening using non-contrast MRI.

PROSTATID

Our Technology

Bot Image™’s software interprets multi-parametric and bi-parametric MRI using random forest with instance weight and MR segmentation by deep learning with holistically-nested networks. ProstatID™ was trained from thousands of proprietary MR image sets, radiologist interpretations, segmented prostate gland image sets, pathology laboratory results, correlation data, and first-pass AI interpretations to aid in the early diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Outputs of the software include a colorized overlay of a copy of one of the input image series highlighting the boundaries of suspicious lesions and grading them according to the software’s proprietary probability index value and PI-RADS score. These outputs provide whole gland assessment for treatment planning and interventional guidance.

FUTURE APPLICATIONS

Our Vision

Bot Image™, Inc. brings early detection of prostate cancer using MRI and AI to the forefront of medicine. Our highly advanced, non-invasive technology shows promise of delivering high 90th percentile sensitivity in detection, as well as, specificity (accuracy) with the near elimination of false positives and false negatives. Once refined, we will then utilize the same baseline AI algorithms to address the early diagnosis of other cancers and COPD.
