Image analysis enables medical device manufacturers and researchers to minimize clinical errors, unneeded tests, misdiagnosis cases, and raise care quality.

Market Overview and Trends

In 2023, the international medical image analysis software market was estimated at $3.27 billion. It is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2024 to 2030. The need for robust and efficient medical imaging solutions is increasing due to:

  • A growing number of people with chronic diseases. According to CDC, 6 in 10 US citizens live with one or more chronic diseases.
  • Increasing consumer trust. According to research, 79% of respondents feel confident about an analytics-assisted radiology diagnosis.
  • The need to speed up medical image analysis. The specialized solutions improve medical imaging staff productivity by 30%.

Driving Clinical and Research Benefits

We offer technological support to researchers, medical innovators and medical device manufacturers for tackling complex challenges in preventing, diagnosing and treating diseases. Enabling both manual and automated (via artificial neural networks) analysis of 3D medical images, you unlock the following opportunities to the benefit of providers and patients:

  • Machine learning systems to facilitate early diagnostics for higher cure and survival rates;
  • Neural networks for diagnosis validation;
  • Research-specific algorithms to find hidden patterns and valuable insights to improve drug development as well as examination of complex conditions with adverse symptoms;
  • Segmentation solutions to pinpoint a treatment area and thus minimize possible damage to healthy tissue during an invasive procedure;
  • Applications integrating 3D imaging with virtual reality (VR) devices to enable immersive training of health specialists, patient education, and advanced diagnostics.

Medical Image Analysis Powered by Machine Learning

To aid in medical image analysis, machine learning algorithms process large amounts of medical data and identify complex patterns. ML is efficient for the following tasks:

  • Disease diagnostics.
  • Medical image segmentation.
  • Tissue type identification.
  • Health outcomes prediction.

What makes ScienceSoft different

We achieve project success no matter what

ScienceSoft does not pass off mere project administration for project management, which, unfortunately, often happens on the market. We practice real project management, achieving project success for our clients no matter what.

See how we do that

Modalities We Are Proficient In

Depending on the type of diagnostics patient requires, medical staff can use various medical imaging devices: CT scanners, ultrasound machines, and others. ScienceSoft is experienced in creating analysis software for the following modalities:

  • CT (computed tomography), e.g., chest or abdomen CT scans.
  • MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), e.g., brain or cardiac MRI scans.
  • PET (positron emission tomography) used for the assessment of cancers, neurological or cardiovascular diseases.
  • SPECT (single-photon emission computed tomography) used to diagnose and monitor bone, neurological, and cardiac disorders.
  • Ultrasound images used for disease prevention, diagnosing, and monitoring in various medical specialties.
  • X-ray (radiography) scans, often used in injury care, dentistry, pulmonary care, and other medical specialties.
  • Mammography for breast cancer prevention and monitoring.
  • Other modalities.

Body Mapping

3D image analysis of particular body parts has certain specifics to it. We are ready to handle your needs in analyzing tissues, bones, muscles and organs in depth, including:

  • Abdominal system (liver, spleen, kidneys, gallbladder, etc.)
  • Genitourinary and endocrine systems (urinary bladder, prostate, reproductive organs, thyroid, etc.)
  • Cardiovascular system
  • Respiratory system
  • Brain and spinal cord
  • Mammary glands and more

Our Top Medical Image Analysis Projects

Our Clients Say

bioAffinity Technologies hired ScienceSoft to help in the development of its automated data analysis software for detection of lung cancer using flow cytometry.

Our project required a large amount of industry specific methodology and algorithms to be implemented into our new software connected to EHR/LIS systems, which the team handled well. They are reliable, thorough, smart, available, extremely good communicators and very friendly.

During our cooperation, ScienceSoft proved to have vast expertise in the Healthcare and Life Science industries related to the development of desktop software connected to laboratory equipment, a mobile application, and a data analytics platform.

They bring top-quality talents and deep knowledge of IT technologies and approaches in accordance with ISO 13485 and IEC 62304 standards.

Chiron Health

We engaged ScienceSoft to build an Android app that complements our web-based platform for our patients.

They advised and successfully lead the way from end to end through the technical challenges and considerations with development of the app. We have also engaged them to introduce a few enhancements to the app and would certainly consider ScienceSoft as a technology partner in further software development initiatives.

To develop a mobile application that would enhance a line of Bluetooth-enabled devices for newborn and baby care, we opened an app development tender.

ScienceSoft's proof-of-concept was convincing enough for us to further the cooperation. During the project flow, we were very pleased by the work of ScienceSoft's business analysts and developers, who demonstrated a high level of skills and competence.

Technologies We Use

Image formats

We support a wide range of common standards and specialized extensions, including:

  • DICOM
  • Analyze
  • MINC
  • NIfTI
  • ECAT7 and more

Methods

Image quality improvement

We apply image quality improvement methods at the preprocessing stage to reduce noise, remove artefacts, compensate spatial aliasing and enhance contrast. With improved images, health specialists can ensure the right diagnosis and subsequent treatment, as well as enable automated image analysis further.

Segmentation

Segmentation allows us to separate a bone, tissue, vessel, organ or other analyzed structure from the surroundings. For example, to isolate brain tissue from the scull and peripheral tissue.

Image fusion / registration

We leverage image fusion / registration methods either for images acquired in different modalities (e.g., CT and PET) or within one modality but in different timeframes. Fusion or registration allows monitoring a lesion's growth and form change, analyze nonlinear tissue deformations, help with interventional procedures and more.

Quantification

Through quantification, we define already segmented structures on medical images with diagnostic information about their size, form, texture, morphology and specific aspects of dynamics in time.

Take Your Image Analysis Forward: Start with a Proof-of-Concept
