Subtle Medical recognized for achievements in generative AI models for better image data generation and radiology workflow solutions

NEW YORK, August 8th, 2023CB Insights today named Subtle Medical to its first annual GenAI 50 ranking, a list of the world’s top 50 most innovative companies developing generative AI applications and infrastructure across industries.

“Generative AI has created a paradigm shift in how companies innovate, and our first ever GenAI 50 cohort is leading the way,” said Deepashri Varadharajan, Director of AI research at CB Insights. “Together, they are pushing the boundaries of drug discovery, human-machine interfaces, database tech, and more. As this future seemingly unfolds before our eyes, I cannot wait to see what they accomplish next.” 

Subtle Medical is a healthcare technology company with innovation as its core value.  Subtle’s best-in-class software solutions use proprietary deep learning algorithms to enable up to 60% faster PET and MRI scan times, drastically increasing imaging efficiency and providing a much better experience for patients. The software solutions, SubtleMR™ and SubtlePET™, are deployed across hundreds of scanners worldwide.  The team has several other innovative solutions in their product pipeline, including one recently published in the American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR), SubtleSYNTH™.  SubtleSYNTH is a deep learning-powered software technology used to synthesize MR imaging contrast from already acquired contrasts, demonstrating superior image quality over standard acquisition and resulting in an additional 20-30% time savings on top of SubtleMR.
