CHARLESTON, S.C., Jan. 19, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revolutions Medical ("Revolutions Medical" or the "Company") (OTCBB:RMCP) has received notice that Investigational Review Board (IRB) approval has been granted to Dr. Yong Wei, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at North Georgia College and State University (NGCSU) and Dr. H. Keith Brown, Professor of Anatomy at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM-GA) for their clinical study 'Statistical Analysis of Abdomen Tissue Segmentation by Color Fusion MRI.' This first collaboration will be to work on the establishment of statistical confidence levels associated with automatic tissue segmentation using the Revolutions Medical's proprietary MRI software tools: RevColor, Rev3D and RevDisplay. In this research study, automatic MRI Image segmentation will be evaluated for clinical applications that may help to locate tumors and other pathologies, measure tissue volumes, plan computer-guided surgery and treatments and provide improved visualization of anatomical structures.
Tom O'Brien, President of Revolutions Medical, states, "This is the first IRB approval for a clinical study to be done on the abdomen utilizing our proprietary MRI software tools. We believe that this study will lead the way for the validation of a number of different applications for the body. I am excited that Drs. Keith Brown, Yong Wei and their colleagues have followed up with this new IRB approved study after having been granted IRBs for work being done in the brain. Now that we are fully underway with an ever growing list of studies validating possible applications utilizing our MRI software platform, I am confident that we will soon have a body of work to present to possible MRI luminaries and possible licensing partners as we get closer to offering these products for sale."
