A new machine learning-aided iterative image reconstruction technology, iQMRTM (intelligent Quick MR), developed by Medic Vision Imaging Solutions can allow significant reduction in MR scan times while maintaining image integrity. iQMR is based on Medic Vision’s patented volumetric image processing algorithms that dramatically improve SNR and enhance the images. Images from highly accelerated scans are processed by the iQMR software, which deconstructs the entire scan set into 3D blocks (“patches”), extracts their feature sets, and using similarities between the patches and a proprietary statistical model, differentiates between noise and signal. The result is shorter scan times with maintenance of, or even improvement upon, routine image quality. iQMR was cleared by FDA for use in the U.S. market earlier this month.

About MedicVision Imaging Solutions
Founded in 2006, Medic Vision is the leading innovator of vendor-independent, cost-effective, image enhancement and dose management solutions for diagnostic imaging.
Medic Vision’s line of innovative 3D iterative image enhancement products is based on sophisticated proprietary algorithms, and is in routine clinical use at major hospitals and imaging centers nationwide. SafeCT for low dose CT scans, SafeCT-29 for XR-29 compliance & iQMR for short MRI scans and enhanced image quality.
The entire range of products, both the SafeCT suite and iQMR, is universal, vendor-neutral, making it ideal for direct end-user applications as well as for incorporation by imaging system and PACS manufacturers into their existing platforms/product offerings.
The company employs a select team of top-notch scientists, engineers and clinical specialists for its R&D as well as its customer support efforts. Our highly efficient and well-managed team of professionals constitutes a good mix of industry veterans and enthusiastic newcomers.
SafeCT® , Medic Vision’s flagship product, dramatically enhances the SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) of low-dose CT images generated by conventional scanners, offering the potential for 80% dose reduction with no trade-off in terms of image quality and diagnostic value.
SafeCT® is in routine clinical use at more than 500 sites, including the leading medical centers in the USA and have allowed diagnostic low-dose CT scans to more than 1.5 million patients. Clinical results published in professional journals and presented in talks delivered at prestigious scientific conferences continue to boost SafeCT clinical recognition.
iQMR™ (intelligent Quick Magnetic Resonance) is a universal 3D image enhancement system that enables the use of short MRI protocols on MRI scanners of any vendor and model, by substantially increasing SNR and image quality.
