A Better Patient Experience: AI-Enhanced MRI for Faster, Clearer Images
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is probably not the most unpleasant medical procedure out there, but it does require the patient to remain motionless inside a long, very loud tube for whatever time it takes the machine to get a clear picture, typically around 15 minutes. For patients, especially those with anxiety, claustrophobia, or a tendency to fidget or who are in pain or too young to follow instructions, that can feel like an eternity.

Smarter Image: Deep Learning Software Is Changing the Game In Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Ever since the first cases of COVID-19 struck nearly a year ago, hospitals around the world have been racing to get a step ahead of the virus. They’ve become adept at sourcing and stockpiling personal protective equipment, establishing vigorous new cleaning protocols, and acquiring thousands of new ventilators.
