Koelis Announces Partnership with Bot Image™ at AUA 2025
New AI Technology Will Improve Prostate Biopsy Accuracy and Procedure Workflow
GRENOBLE, France and PRINCETON, N.J., April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Koelis, SAS (“Koelis” or the “Company”, www.koelis.com), a leader and innovator in prostate care, announced today a new partnership with Bot Image™ (Omaha, NE, USA) to serve the growing field of prostate “fusion biopsy” in the USA. The partnership will permit Koelis to combine its proprietary and accurate Trinity® MRI-fusion guidance system with the Bot Image ProstatID™ system, the first FDA-cleared software for screening, detection and diagnosis of prostate cancer using fully automated AI-based lesion detection, classification and 3D contouring.
Koelis will be holding live and interactive demos at its AUA booth #1259 from April 25th to 28th.
The Bot Image™ Partnership reinforces Koelis’ commitment to both prostate biopsy accuracy and workflow efficiency. The automated lesion detection and prostate segmentation features of ProstatID™ will facilitate radiologist workflow, while also enabling access to processed MRI’s by the Koelis Trinity® fusion guidance system. More specifically, the Koelis Trinity® direct access to ProstatID™ automated lesion detection and prostate segmentation data will allow urologists to create a 3D patient-specific prostate map for the guidance of both biopsy and focal treatment procedures. In addition to offering accuracy and workflow efficiency, the Koelis Trinity® is a compact system that does not require interfaces with either external ultrasound equipment or external sensors.
Dr. Jamil Syed, based at the Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital, Rosner Family Health & Well Center in Vero Beach FL., commented, “As a Urologist, the Koelis/Bot Image AI combination is a game changer. The automatic MRI-based lesion detection and prostate segmentation saves me time and adds confidence to my fusion biopsy plan.”
Dr. Randall Jones, CEO and founder of Bot Image noted, “The 93.6% sensitivity-specificity of ProstatID™ (AUROC) is unmatched by any other software product. Other AI products provide some level of physician aid to identifying suspect lesions, but ProstatID™ does the heavy lifting of segmentation and classification by providing physicians with a PI-RADS or Level-of-Suspicion (LOS) score as well as risk assessment score for each lesion along a continuous scale from 1-99.”
