Median Technologies to present new and breakthrough results for its iBiopsy® Lung Cancer Screening CADe/CADx Software as Medical Device at the European Congress of Radiology, taking place March 1-5 2023 in Vienna, Austria

  • New results, obtained on a very large cohort of 9,863 patients show drastically improved performance of the iBiopsy® LCS CADe/CADx Software as Medical Device (SaMD) with a sensitivity of 96.5% at a specificity of 97.2%.
  • Further to the completion of the Q-Submission phase with the FDA announced on Feb. 27, 2023, these new performance results have set Median’s trajectory for execution of the upcoming pivotal studies of this device with an aim at obtaining 510(k) clearance in the first half of 2024.
  • Results will be presented at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR, Vienna, Austria) on March 1st at 4:00 pm CET and on March 2nd at 1:30 pm CET during the AIX Theater and at Median’s booth #AI-35 from March 1 to 4 (ECR exhibition dates).

Regulatory News:

Median Technologies (ALMDT:PA) today announces new and breakthrough results for its iBiopsy® Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) AI/ML tech-based CADe/CADx1 Software as Medical Device (SaMD) to characterize malignant lung nodules in low dose CT scans (LDCT).

New results released today demonstrate considerable increase of Median’s proprietary algorithms performance with a sensitivity2 of 96.5% for a specificity3 of 97.2% on end-to-end lung nodule detection and malignancy characterization. These results complement the results released previously (March 22, 2022), which were based on a cohort of 1,760 patients and showed a 94.7% sensitivity at a 93.3% specificity. New results are calculated on a much larger cohort of 9,863 patients corresponding to 195,943 nodules (vs. 16,789 lung nodules in March 2022). Consistent with previously released results, the performance corresponds to end-to-end detection and characterization at nodule level.

“On February 27, 2023 we announced the completion of the Q-Submission phase with the FDA regarding clinical protocols pre-submission, a major milestone in the roadmap of our iBiopsy® LCS CADe/CADx SaMD. Our pivotal study protocols are now finalized and ready for study execution. Today, with the release of our improved performance results, we are more than ever confident for the next steps which will drive our iBiopsy® LCS CADe/CADx SaMD to the FDA clearance. Our next milestone is now the execution of the pivotal studies, based on imaging and clinical data we started to collect at the end of 2022 from very prestigious clinical sites and cancer centers in the US and Europe”, highlights Fredrik Brag, CEO and founder of Median. “Subsequent to this breakthrough performance, we recently filed two patents”, Brag added.

Results will be presented at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) AIX Theater, on Wednesday, 1 March, at 4:00 pm CET and on Thursday, 2 March at 1:30 pm CET. Median’s team will be available at booth #AI-35 for the duration of the technical exhibition (March 1-4).

The European Congress of Radiology (ECR) organized by the European Society of Radiology (ESR) is the premier European event in radiology and the second largest in the world. The congress conveys more than 20,000 with a split of more than 10,000 professional delegates (radiologists, technologists etc.), and ~8,000 industry participants (imaging modalities, PACS etc.). Radiology professionals from Europe and beyond attend to gather knowledge through educational courses, to see the latest innovations presented by technical exhibitors, and to discover groundbreaking research from scientific paper presentations.
