Median Technologies has received 510(k) pre-market clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration for LMS-Liver, its clinical application for the evaluation and follow-up of lesions identified in liver CT images.

LMS-Liver is part of Median LMS – Lesion Management Solutions – a comprehensive portfolio of applications providing automatic tools to support image visualization, lesion detection and quantification, temporal evolution assessment and automatic reporting in lung, liver and colon CT scans.

LMS-Liver is a software application for the evaluation of liver CT images. Radiologists using this application can segment hepatic lesions and automatically obtain key characteristics such as volume or longest axial diameter. LMS-Liver greatly facilitates the temporal comparison of two examinations of a same patient by synchronizing the images between two scans, performing an automatic pairing of the lesions and calculating their growth and doubling time. In addition, the application automatically generates reports according to RECIST criteria used to assess response to treatment.

“Median Technologies is proud to offer clinicians the first clinical application really focusing on the management of lesions identified in liver CT scans”, said Fredrik Brag, CEO of Median Technologies. “For radiologists, quantifying and following these lesions over time is a very tedious task which is also subject to an important intra and inter-observer variability. LMS-Liver answers those difficulties by providing 3D lesion segmentation, automatic lesion pairing in follow-up scans and reporting.”

Like every LMS application, LMS-Liver is available from standalone workstations, PACS workstations or any appropriate PC on the network in multi-user environments. “LMS-Liver has been designed to be seamlessly integrated into the clinical workflow and support radiologists in their daily efforts to improve their productivity” explained Gerard Milhiet, COO of Median Technologies. “The integration of LMS-Liver with PACS workstations guarantees access to previous exams, brings additional clinical functionalities straight to the radiologist’s desktop anywhere in the facility and improves the communication with referring physicians”.
