  • Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) August 03, 2020 - Qlarity Imaging, a leading innovator in artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostics dedicated to transforming women’s imaging, has been named a Top 10 Medical Imaging Solutions Provider by Healthcare Tech Outlook. Among the various accomplishments contributing to the award, the company developed QuantX—the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared diagnostic AI software—which assists radiologists in the assessment and characterization of breast abnormalities during MRI evaluations.

    “Our team is committed to disrupting the status quo in search of a more accurate solution to detect and diagnose breast cancer that will benefit the hundreds of thousands of women annually diagnosed with this devastating disease,” said Jon DeVries, chief executive officer of Qlarity Imaging. “By using artificial intelligence to analyze data that is not visible to the human eye, QuantX helps radiologists make more informed decisions and reduces the likelihood of misdiagnosis, ultimately leading to improved patient care.”

    Understanding the many complex challenges radiologists encounter when reading medical images, Healthcare Tech Outlook identified companies that exhibit true innovation and provide unique imaging solutions within the healthcare sector. A panel of CEOs, CIOs, and industry analysts selected Qlarity Imaging, a portfolio company of Paragon Biosciences, for the effectiveness of QuantX in reducing missed cancers by 39% and improving overall diagnostic performance by 20% compared to traditional methods of MRI interpretation. In addition, Qlarity Imaging is being recognized for its vision to expand its diagnostic AI technology across all modalities in women’s imaging.

    “With its life-changing technology, Qlarity Imaging mirrors the same passion as Paragon Biosciences—life science innovators, seeking to improve the quality of life through scientific breakthroughs,” said Jeff Aronin, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Paragon Biosciences. “Qlarity is delivering vital breast imaging tools to radiologists and health systems to enhance patient care until this devastating disease is conquered and eliminated.”

    Furthering its commitment to innovation, Qlarity Imaging recently announced a partnership with Ikonopedia to help improve breast cancer diagnosis and reporting accuracy through an integrated software solution.

    QuantX has received numerous accolades since its release, including being named one of TIME’s 100 Best Inventions of 2019, a 2020 Gold Edison Award, and contributing to Paragon’s recognition as one of Fast Company’s 10 Most Innovative Health Companies of 2020.
