Addressing the Challenge of Aging Scanners and Expensive Upgrades

Through Subtle Medical’s AI-powered software, healthcare providers can extend the life of their MRI scanners, bypassing the need for costly equipment upgrades or replacements. SubtleMR™ enables facilities to achieve faster, high-quality imaging on older MRI systems, ultimately enhancing patient throughput and improving access to timely diagnostics.

“We are thrilled to partner with 626 to expand the reach of SubtleMR™ and our other advanced AI solutions,” said Josh Gurewitz, Chief Commercial Officer at Subtle Medical. “Together, we’re addressing a crucial need in the industry: providing healthcare facilities with cost-effective solutions that improve MRI efficiency and quality without requiring new, expensive scanner purchases.”

“At 626, our mission is to help healthcare providers maximize the value of their imaging equipment, and our partnership with Subtle Medical perfectly aligns with that goal,” said Cary Lucian, Chief Commercial Officer at 626. “By offering Subtle’s AI-powered solutions, we can now provide our clients with a cost-effective way to significantly enhance MRI performance, extend the lifespan of their scanners, and avoid the need for costly upgrades or new equipment purchases. This collaboration empowers healthcare facilities to deliver faster, higher-quality imaging while optimizing their resources—a win for providers and patients alike.”
