BOSTON and TAIPEI, Taiwan, April 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Vysioneer, the leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI) for cancer care, announced today it received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for VBrain, the first-ever AI-powered tumor auto-contouring solution.
Brain Tumors Edged Out by Artificial Intelligence: VBrain applies auto-contouring to the three most common types of brain tumors: brain metastasis, meningioma and acoustic neuroma.
VBrain is a game changer for radiotherapy treatment planning, enabling a quicker response time for performing radiation therapy with more precision in targeting the tumor. Manual contouring time that may take several hours by clinicians is completed within a few minutes with the assistance of VBrain. As the first of its kind, the fully automated solution also ensures precision mapping of brain tumors with closer cuts and the ability to identify additional lesions that may be missed by the human eye. This is the first time the FDA has cleared an AI device for tumor auto-contouring in radiation therapy. Devices to receive FDA clearance prior to VBrain are specific to normal organ auto-contouring.
