AI expert systems for radiology · Prague
by MontesMedica
AI expert systems for MRI. Each module is a specialised second reader for one body region. The first module reads knee MRI: abnormal finding, anterior cruciate ligament tear and meniscal tear. Our focus is sports injuries in children and adolescents.
First module · aEyes-knee
Volume
Knee MRI is among the most frequent MRI examinations. Scanner numbers keep growing; radiologist numbers do not grow with them.
Decisions
An ACL tear and a meniscal tear decide between conservative treatment and surgery. In the Stanford MRNet reader study, model assistance raised clinicians' specificity for ACL tears by 4.8 percentage points: fewer false positives in patients without a tear.

How it works
A standard examination in three planes (sagittal, coronal, axial), as DICOM straight from PACS.
A neural network processes each slice together with its neighbouring slices.
The model learns which slices matter and weights them accordingly. Those are the slices it later shows the radiologist.
Results from all planes are combined into three probabilities: abnormal finding, ACL tear, meniscal tear.
Probabilities, highlighted slices and a structured report go back into the tools the radiologist already reports in.
The aEyes suite
Every module stands on one platform: connection to PACS and the DICOM viewer, computation on the workstation, operational monitoring and an MDR quality system. Each new module reuses everything already built.
Now · knee MRI
Abnormal finding, ACL tear, meniscal tear. The first module and the regulatory template for all that follow.
2027 · spine MRI
Lumbar spine. Same platform, same hospital installation, new module.
2028 · histopathology
Digitised slides at gigapixel resolution. Same principle: the model learns which parts of the image decide.
Shared platform
From model training to the reading room. It plugs easily into the tools a department already uses: PACS, RIS, DICOM viewer. One GPU workstation per site, no patient data in the cloud.
Roadmap
On public data we show that the model reaches published results. The certified device is then trained on prospectively labelled studies from partner hospitals.
