AI eye on brain bulges: software aims to spot hidden aneurysms
NCT ID NCT07655635
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study evaluates RDX-Aneurysm, a computer-assisted detection software designed to help radiologists find saccular intracranial aneurysms (bulging blood vessels in the brain) on MRI scans. Researchers will analyze 550 past scans—half with confirmed aneurysms and half without—to see how accurately the software marks suspicious spots. The goal is to measure how many aneurysms it catches and how often it raises false alarms. This is a retrospective study using existing images, so the results do not affect patient care directly.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- RDX-Aneurysm (computer-assisted detection software)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this software could help doctors spot brain aneurysms more reliably on routine MRI scans, potentially catching dangerous bulges before they rupture.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study using old scans, not a real-world test. The software may produce false alarms or miss some aneurysms, and results may not apply to all patients or scanners.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population consists of adults aged 18 years or older who underwent head TOF-MRA as part of clinical care or voluntary health screening. No race or ethnicity restrictions are applied. The retrospective dataset will include positive and negative TOF-MRA examinations selected according to predefined eligibility, image-quality, and technical requirements. Age distribution is planned at approximately 20-40 years, 10±10%, 40-60 years, 60±10%, and over 60 years, 30±10%. The planned sex ratio is approximately 1:1.2 to 1:2 (male: female), consistent with the protocol-defined sampling structure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adult subjects aged 18 years or older at the time of imaging. 2. Underwent head MRA, including TOF-MRA, as part of clinical care or voluntary health screening. 3. TOF-MRA images are available in DICOM format and meet the predefined study image-quality and technical requirements for retrospective analysis. Exclusion Criteria: 1. MRI-related contraindications documented in the available record or imaging context, including implanted pacemaker or defibrillator, cochlear implant, neurostimulator, intraocular or intracranial metallic foreign body, or other physician-determined MRI-unsuitable condition. 2. Clinically diagnosed intracranial hemorrhage, including intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, or epidural hemorrhage. 3. Clinically diagnosed arteriovenous malformation or arteriovenous fistula. 4. Prior intracranial aneurysm treatment, including surgical clipping or endovascular treatment, intracranial arterial stent placement, or craniotomy, where post-treatment structural changes may affect software interpretation. 5. Severe imaging artifact, incomplete image data, or image quality insufficient for reliable retrospective analysis. 6. Image data format or technical parameters not compatible with study analysis requirements.
