Life science innovator Paragon Biosciences has launched Qlarity Imaging, a new company which will focus on leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) technology to boost medical outcomes and lower costs.
The new firm will advance QuantX, the first-ever FDA-cleared computer-aided breast cancer diagnosis system in radiology. The solution features intuitive displays, advanced analytics and machine learning.

In a clinical study, QuantX is said to have demonstrated effectiveness in helping radiologists interpret cancerous and non-cancerous breast lesions.
The AI solution showed a 39% decrease in missed breast cancers without a reduction in specificity, and a 20% overall diagnostic improvement.
Qlarity Imaging intends to further expand the AI technology’s diagnostic applications to other image modalities and medical conditions.
Paragon Biosciences chairman and CEO Jeff Aronin said: “By driving innovation across life sciences, Paragon fulfils its mission of improving outcomes for patients with severe medical conditions. So, we’re pleased to help further develop the first FDA-cleared, AI-enabled diagnostic software for breast cancer MRIs.
