The updated software reportedly enables a threefold improvement in MRI scan time and enhanced image sharpness.
Philips has unveiled SmartSpeed Precise, an artificial intelligence (AI) software that may significantly bolster scan times and image sharpness with MRI scans.
Launched at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) conference, the SmartSpeed Precise software allows up to a threefold reduction in MRI scan times, according to Philips.

Incorporating the company’s Compressed SENSE and SmartSpeed technologies, Philips said the next-generation SmartSpeed Precise software facilitates detection of subtle abnormalities with an 80 percent improvement in image sharpness.
“We are impressed by the extremely sharp and crisp images, diagnostic confidence, and fast scans delivered by the dual-AI SmartSpeed Precise solution. We expect it will set a new standard in clinical performance with its ease of use, high image quality, and acceleration controlled by a single parameter,” noted Wayne Picker, a vice president of clinical technology at Prenuvo, Inc.
