Overview

CDM Insights, developed by Oxford Brain Diagnostics, is an FDA 510(k)-cleared AI-powered software designed for the early detection and monitoring of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The cloud-native, non-invasive software analyzes standard anatomical and diffusion MRI scan data (from 1.5T and 3T scanners) to provide a deeper understanding of the brain’s microstructure.

Utilizing its proprietary Cortical Disarray Measurement (CDM®) technology, CDM Insights quantifies microstructural changes in the cerebral cortex, cortical thickness, regional volumes, and white matter hyper-/hypointensity volume. It integrates with PACS and delivers comprehensive reports, often within 12 hours, to assist neurologists, radiologists, and other trained healthcare practitioners in their clinical assessments. The tool supports more efficient drug development and personalized patient care by providing objective, quantifiable measures of neurodegeneration.

What Physicians Need to Know

Brain MRI Analysis
CDM Insights processes standard anatomical and diffusion MRI data from 1.5T and 3T scanners. It provides quantitative analysis of brain structures, microstructural information of the cerebral cortex, cortical thickness, regional volumes, and white matter hyper-/hypointensity volume, all delivered in a single, comprehensive report.
Neurodegenerative Disease Screening
A core function of CDM Insights is the early detection and ongoing monitoring of neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's disease. The tool identifies subtle microstructural brain changes, offering insights into brain structure alterations before symptom progression and providing a comprehensive assessment of brain health over time.
Triage Prioritization Speed
Clinicians typically receive access to the CDM Insights report within 12 hours of scan upload, facilitating timely patient care.
Physician Tip

CDM Insights is designed for use by neurologists, radiologists, and other trained healthcare practitioners experienced in MRI post-processing. While it empowers clinicians with tools to detect subtle brain changes and provides insights into brain structure alterations prior to symptom progression, it is crucial to remember that the software is not intended for isolated diagnosis or treatment decisions. The physician retains ultimate responsibility for all final diagnostic and treatment decisions.

CDM Insights integrates with Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) to securely process standard anatomical and diffusion MRI data within a cloud-native environment.
