SEOUL,
South Korea, July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SwiftMR™, the artificial
intelligence (AI) solution for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
from AIRS Medical, has been approved for use in Canada. Hospitals, radiology centers, and
other diagnostic imaging facilities across the country can now
leverage this award-winning1 technology, which utilizes
deep learning algorithms to reduce scan times and generate clearer
images.
SwiftMR™ approved for use
Operating under the laws of the Food and Drugs Act, the Medical
Devices Regulations, and supporting guidance documents, Health
Canada regulates the sale and importation of medical devices such
as MRI scanners. SwiftMR™ has been approved by Health Canada. Since
SwiftMR™ is a vendor-neutral application, the MRI scan
reconstruction technology can be used in any MRI scanner,
regardless of make, model, and field strength.
"Securing Health Canada approval marks a significant milestone
for AIRS Medical," remarked CEO Hyeseong
Lee. "Our mission is to revolutionize preventive healthcare
through technology innovation, and we're excited about the
transformative potential of SwiftMR™ in Canada."
A step forward for healthcare in Canada
Through the following benefits, SwiftMR™ helps healthcare
providers deliver high quality care:
- Quicker scans: SwiftMR™ reduces scan times by up to
50%*, allowing imaging centers to provide timely care to more
patients.
- Greater image quality: Deep learning algorithms
reconstruct images to make them more detailed, aiding radiologists
in detecting and diagnosing medical conditions.
- Cost efficiency: Rather than investing in costly
upgrades or a new scanner, radiology centers can extend the life
and improve the quality of their existing device.
- Broad application: Approved for use in all body parts
and for all patients, SwiftMR™ seamlessly integrates with both
state-of-the-art and legacy machines, regardless of the
manufacturer.
