The Tangible Benefits for MR Imaging

As we integrate SubtleMR’s artificial intelligence technology into our existing workflows we are improving image quality and efficiency, which enables us to focus more of our time doing what matters -- caring for patients.

Focusing SubtlePET AI software on faster image acquisition, we are dramatically increasing PET scan efficiency and providing a superior patient experience. The technology allows us to scan a patient four times faster than normal, yet maintain equal image quality, not otherwise impacting workflow.

With Subtle Medical, we were able to achieve the same high quality images with a 33% reduction in FDG dose. This had a positive impact on patient safety and the operational workflow too. Following the successful pilot in Italy, we decided to deploy the innovative solution across Affidea Europe, where we have an extensive volume of PET/CT units.

PET/CT practice in Paris is very competitive as there are only about 45 systems. It’s very important for us at CCN to minimize the wait time delay for a PET appointment and ensure the best possible experience for patients during their procedure. What’s appealing to us about SubtlePET™ is that the technology allows us to reduce the wait times and time spent in the scanner, while providing high quality diagnostic images.

Our goal at Precision Imaging Centers is to deliver the best patient care possible. We pride ourselves on being early adopters of innovative technology, which differentiates us from other imaging centers. Using SubtlePET, we are able to maintain superior image quality of our accelerated protocols. It also allows us to complete more CT’s on the same scanner. The ability to conduct these faster scans both increases our workflow efficiency and creates a better patient experience by getting patients in and out of the scanner faster. It’s a win-win for us and for them.

We’re excited about the results we’ve seen with SubtleMR. In our multicenter, multireader clinical validation research, we reduced our image acquisition time by 60% and were able to restore excellent image quality which exceeded that of standard-of-care. As we have begun incorporating SubtleMR into our routine clinical practice at some of our sites, we have found that image enhancement of our accelerated image protocols not only improves efficiency and boosts quality, but ultimately provides a better imaging experience for our patients.
