AI Software for Lumbar Spine MRI Analysis

Radiology doesn’t need another reader. It needs less repetitive work.

Emeralgo automatically segments lumbar spine anatomy and delivers objective, editable measurements — ready by the time you open the case, back in your PACS once you approve.

  • FDA 510(k) cleared
  • Swiss made software
  • One DICOM node in your PACS
  • Installed on-premises
  • Any 1.5T / 3.0T scanner

Product

Structured findings, not a black box.

Studies are processed in the background as they reach your PACS. You see exactly what Emeralgo measured — and nothing reaches the final report without your approval.

  • Shown on the image

    Every measurement is displayed on the slice it was taken from, with series and image numbers.

  • Same layout, every case

    Standardized, consistent values regardless of who reads the study.

  • You stay in control

    Values can be corrected before sign-off.

How it works

From scan to report-ready results.

Emeralgo is a layer on top of your existing infrastructure. Nothing gets replaced, no data migration, no separate IT project.

Roadmap

Lumbar spine today. Knee, shoulder and hip next.

We started with the lumbar spine. Every new module builds on the same technology platform: one vendor, one integration, one interface.
