Millions of Americans seek treatment for concussions and traumatic brain injuries each year resulting from sports, vehicle accidents, military service, and other impacts. Conventional MRI scans show no detectable abnormalities in an estimated 85% of TBI cases despite persistent neurological symptoms and cognitive impairment.
SPARK developed a deterministic signal-processing platform that analyzes complex phase relationships, coherence structures, and spectral signatures often discarded during conventional MRI reconstruction workflows. The company applies the technology to research involving traumatic brain injury (TBI), Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, neurological degeneration, prostate cancer, and other neurological and oncological abnormalities.
“Traditional MRI systems focus on image reconstruction, while we focus on extracting previously unresolved structural information embedded within the raw signal itself,” said Anthony Stanish, Co-Founder of SPARK. “We believe this technology can significantly improve how researchers detect and analyze neurological disease, traumatic brain injury, and cancer-related abnormalities through advanced MRI signal analysis.”
SPARK believes its platform can improve early detection, clinical triage, diagnostic decision-making, and evaluation of emerging therapies through advanced MRI signal analysis.
Internal validation involving more than 1,000 clinical MRI cases demonstrated consistent signal relationships associated with known disease states and structural abnormalities. SPARK is now pursuing fully blinded, independently controlled third-party validation trials with hospitals, universities, imaging laboratories, and medical research institutions. The outcome will be clear and binary: either the system consistently identifies the correct cases, or it does not.
As millions of patients continue to suffer symptoms despite “normal” MRI findings, SPARK is seeking research and validation partners to accelerate independent clinical evaluation. For partnership inquiries, please contact us at: [email protected]
