BrainDS · Structural MRI
BrainDS segments 95 brain regions from a standard 3D T1-weighted scan, compares every regional volume with healthy adults of the same age and sex, and brings the results together in a structured report — on a workstation inside your own network.
Research use only: Available now for research use only. Not yet approved as a medical device by MFDS (KFDA), the FDA or CE — not for clinical or diagnostic use.

Every step runs locally, on the same study, without sending images outside your network.
01
Upload DICOM files, folders or ZIP archives, or send studies from the scanner or PACS over the DICOM network to a local study store. Studies can be anonymised, and access is controlled by role.
02
A deep-learning pipeline built on FastSurfer resamples the 3D T1-weighted series to 1 mm and segments 95 cortical and subcortical regions of the DKT atlas.1
03
Regional volumes are adjusted for head size and compared with healthy adults of the same sex and similar age, then expressed as percentiles with left–right asymmetry flagged.
04
Results appear in an interactive dashboard and a structured PDF report in English or Korean, with 3D views and longitudinal comparison when earlier scans exist.
One dashboard for review, one report for the record — both built on the same measurements.
Regional volumes in millilitres sit beside the normal range of matched healthy adults, with left and right percentiles side by side. Regions outside the reference range are listed first, so review starts where it matters.
When a patient has earlier scans, BrainDS charts regional volume or percentile across visits against the normal range. Charts and tables export for your own analysis, and research cohorts can be queued for batch processing.
The 14-page PDF opens with whole-brain and regional volumes, a percentile radar and grouped region reviews, with plain-language cards that explain what each key structure does.
Axial, coronal and sagittal views share one crosshair and a segmentation overlay beside an interactive 3D model. Regions can be shown or hidden by lobe or structure.
A percentile is only as meaningful as the population behind it. The normative study behind BrainDS brings together cognitively healthy adults from three cohorts — including a Korean cohort scanned at Gachon University — to describe regional volume across adulthood.

Figures describe the published study population, which also served as the reference in a 2026 follow-up study. In BrainDS, each scan is compared with participants of the same sex and similar age.
Quantification starts at acquisition. In two 7T studies, MTechLab’s high-permittivity dielectric pad raised signal where it matters for brain analysis: diffusion signal (quantitative anisotropy) increased by about 20% overall across major white-matter tracts in six volunteers, and T1-weighted SNR rose by 24.7% while segmentation-derived cerebellar volumes stayed unchanged in four.23

No. BrainDS runs on-premise: studies are stored and processed on a workstation inside your network, and no cloud service is involved.
No. BrainDS is available for research use only. It has not yet been approved as a medical device by MFDS (KFDA), the FDA or CE.
Each volume is compared with healthy adults of the same sex and similar age after adjusting for head size. The report shows the percentile position and the normal range of that matched group.
The interface and the report are available in English and Korean.
Yes. BrainDS + PET adds regional PET quantification on the same segmentation, and BrainDS + fMRI — a research module in development — will extend the suite to functional connectivity.
