ImageBiopsy Lab (IB Lab) has launched an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered diagnostic for radiological and orthopaedic foot measurements.

The Vienna-based company’s IB Lab FROG, which is CE marked under Europe’s revised Medical Device Regulation (MDR), uses deep learning to provide automated measurements on dorsal-plantar and lateral X-ray images – based on radiological and orthopaedic standards – that are intended to aid in foot condition assessment.

According to the company, incidence of foot-related pathologies is on the rise and increases with age, and while accurate radiographic measurements are essential in assessing various foot conditions, there is currently no gold standard for such measurements. IB Lab FROG is positioned as a means of providing clinicians with the accurate, standardised data required for the diagnosis and management of foot pathologies.

After use, IB Lab FROG generates data reports that can be accessed through any certified medical DICOM viewer.

IB Lab CEO and co-founder Richard Ljuhar said: “IB Lab FROG surpasses currently available algorithms by offering a comprehensive set of 17 measurements across five use cases, transforming the way clinicians assess foot conditions.

“With standardised and quantifiable data, IB Lab FROG streamlines workflows and supports informed treatment decisions.”
