Marking a major step toward autonomous MRI scanning
The latest SmartSpeed Precise [1] technology further enhances productivity, enabling scans to be completed up to three times faster [7], significantly cutting scan times while maintaining exceptional image quality. At the core of SmartSpeed Precise is its dual-AI engine, which delivers an 80% improvement in image sharpness [8], enhancing visualization for more confident and accurate diagnoses. This powerful combination of speed and precision enables radiologists to detect subtle abnormalities with greater clarity, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. Philips’ new release – MR Workspace R12 [6] – introduces a ‘zero-click’ workflow [9], seamlessly guiding the entire imaging process from scan initiation to report generation. By reducing manual intervention and optimizing efficiency, MR Workspace R12 [6] empowers radiology departments to boost patient throughput and reduce backlogs, addressing the increasing demand for faster and more precise imaging. A key innovation within MR Workspace R12 [6] is its AI-powered SmartExam feature, which automates 80% of MR procedures [10], streamlining operations and standardizing imaging workflows.
Additional groundbreaking innovations include Smart Reading [4], the industry’s first solution that seamlessly [11] integrates cloud-based AI-driven quantitative reporting. Smart Reading leverages cutting-edge AI platforms such as icobrain (icometrix) for neurology – including Alzheimer’s disease detection – and QP-Prostate (Quibim) for advanced prostate cancer diagnostics. By delivering objective, high-confidence diagnoses, these zero-click [9] AI solutions help ensure streamlined, data-driven decision-making for clinicians. With MR Workspace R12 [6], SmartSpeed Precise [1], and Smart Reading [4], Philips continues to push the boundaries of AI in MRI, driving efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility in diagnostic imaging while paving the way for the future of autonomous MR scanning
