The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical imaging is leading the way to transform the healthcare industry. Advancements in medical imaging equipment and AI technology have unlocked a new realm of possibilities in healthcare. The merging of these fields has revolutionized numerous aspects of medical practice, from early disease detection and precise diagnosis to personalized treatment planning and improved patient outcomes.
AI Technology Continues To Shape the Medical Imaging Equipment
The quality of MR imaging hinges on balancing scan time, resolution, and image noise. Enhancing any one of these factors typically involves compromising another. Deep Resolve, a deep learning solution for image reconstruction, resolves this trade-off. It allows clinicians to opt for significantly faster scan times while reducing noise and maintaining or even enhancing resolution.
Deep Resolve doesn’t just refine the final diagnostic image; it intervenes at an earlier stage by enhancing the scanner’s raw data using AI algorithms during image reconstruction. Accelerating scan times is particularly beneficial for patients uncomfortable in MRI scanners, such as children. Deep Resolve achieves this by optimizing the initial stages of image formation using all available raw data. For instance, it can expedite brain MRI scans by up to 72 percent while doubling resolution. Healthcare providers can now reduce a 45-minute scan to just 15 minutes or less.
Deep Resolve Techniques
Let’s dive into how AI is generating excitement in the medical field.
This illustration demonstrates how AI removes noise from images to produce a perfectly clear output.
Deep Resolve Gain
Deep Resolve Gain is a smart, targeted denoising method for increasing the SNR of MR images. It uses the acquired MRI data to generate a noise map that reflects spatial noise variations. This noise map is used as input for an iterative process, reducing noise in a targeted manner, thus addressing local variations in image noise, e.g., due to coil array geometry.
Deep Resolve Boost
Deep Resolve Boost is our raw data-to-image deep learning reconstruction technology. It enables accelerated image acquisition with high signal-to-noise (SNR) scans. Deep Resolve Boost applies from head to toe and can be combined with our Simultaneous Multi-Slice (SMS) technique for even higher acceleration. A total knee exam can be completed in under two minutes of scan time without compromising image resolution.
Deep Resolve Sharp
The neural network at the heart of Deep Resolve Sharp improves image sharpness and resolution. Deep Resolve Sharp has been trained on many pairs of low-res and high-res MR data, enabling it to reconstruct a sharp image from low-resolution data. This ensures consistency with the acquired raw data until the final image reconstruction for robust results.
