May 2019:
BBV & Radiology AI News

Dear <<First Name>>,

Bold Brain Ventures has been moving forward in May with new investors, as well as meetings with management teams regarding potential pools of capital.

Artificial intelligence research and development continues to advance in radiology, with fully automated diagnoses of ACL tears being just one of many recent newsworthy items.

As noted previously, the managing partners of Bold Brain Ventures (BBV) have personally invested in several startups, which we have been introducing in our recent newsletters. 

We encourage you to consider how you can also become professionally and financially engaged in AI via our collaborative investment fund.

Please reach out to us if you have any questions or comments.

Bold Brain Ventures
Robin, Tom, Paige, and Ben

Dr. Robin Prasad and Dr. Tomislav Deur, the co-founders and managing partners of Bold Brain Ventures, have made a personal investment in A.I. Analysis.

Changes in serial images are hard to see and interpret. A.I. Analysis makes it easy. A.I. Analysis, Inc. Change Detector compares serial imaging studies by spatially registering the image volumes and presenting changes between “baseline-followup” pairs of volumes as a color-coded overlay indicating what is changing, where, and by how much. The Change Detector reduces information overload and enhances radiologist productivity, increasing value.
