LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Medaphor on Monday lauded the progress of its artificial intelligence (AI) based real time imaging analysis software ScanNav after it featured in a segment of ITV's 'Wales This Week' programme.
The ultrasound software and simulation firm's technology that featured on the current affairs show utilises learning-based algorithms to automatically identify, grade and capture high quality ultrasound images for the real time guidance, assessment and audit of obstetric scanning.

Medaphor said it believes that its technology is the first AI system to carry out automated real time "peer review" of obstetric ultrasound images as the patient is scanned.

The system is being piloted at the fetal medicine department of St George's University Hospitals NHS Trust in London.

Nicholas Sleep, Chief Technology Officer at MedaPhor, commented: "The initial feedback from the pilot of our ScanNav AI software in St George's Hospital, London has been very positive. After expanding the pilot over the coming months, we look forward to ScanNav being used more widely to improve ultrasound scanning for patients."

As of 1140 BST, Medaphor's shares were up 3.03% at 8.50p.
