The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance to Icobrain Aria (Icometrix, Boston, MA), a software that provides computer-assisted, automatic detection and severity grading for amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA). Icobrain Aria generates a quantitative summary report for MRI images, including severity rating scores based on the measurement and summarization of ARIA cerebral edema (ARIA-E) and ARIA cerebral microhemorrhages (ARIA-H) sites of involvement.

On Nov. 7, 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted icometrix clearance for icobrain aria, the first AI software approved for detecting, measuring and grading amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), a potentially harmful side effect of new amyloid-targeting therapies. A large study, needed for FDA clearance, demonstrated that the use of icobrain aria significantly increases the accuracy of ARIA assessments by radiologists and hence allows for safer use of new amyloid-beta targeting therapies for Alzheimer’s disease patients.

When it comes to building strength, we often focus on just the muscles. But lurking behind every powerful movement is an unsung network of connective tissues: the ligaments, tendons, and joints that keep our bodies in motion.
