CoLumbo is software for analysis and diagnosis of lumbar spine images obtained with MRI.
The purpose of CoLumbo is to assist with the reading of MRI images on the lumbar spine and to provide information on detected pathologies and abnormalities, and to reduce the time to record the readings.
The key novelty of CoLumbo lies in the unique machine learning algorithm, based on convolutional neural networks combined with medical domain knowledge, dropout regularization and packet normalization which are capable of reading MRI images, in order to provide pathology description, findings and measurements with pre-populated structured or free text report. Unet-like architecture is used to improve the resolution.
The first step is the Segmentation of specific structures which is made on a pixel level and the use of fully convolutional networks allows quick segmentation maps to be generated for images of any size. Second is the identification of key points in the MRI images. After this is the measurement of distances, areas and angles. Finally the combination of segmentation, measurements and specially applied algorithms provides the pathology description according to the parameters described in the scientific medical literature.
Disclaimer: The product is approved for clinical use only by radiologists as an assistant tool in the European Union. All marketing materials and statements are related to the EU version of the software.
