“With AiCE, we can easily address the two most pressing clinical needs of our time: superb image quality with ultra-high matrices acquired within routine scan times or abbreviated scan times with traditional resolution. These combinations, which could not be previously achieved, now allow radiologists to better tailor scans to patient needs, improving both patient care and department productivity.”2

Dr. Gold., M.D., Clinical Radiologist and Researcher

Integrated Intelligence

Sharp, clear and distinct images. See through the noise.

Harnessing the enormous computational power of a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN), AiCE is trained to restore low SNR MR data to match the properties of higher SNR² images.

AiCE features:

  • Intelligently removes noise
  • Results in increased SNR²
  • Enhanced resolution
  • Enhanced anatomical detail
Integrated Intelligence

Actual scan time reductions may vary by case.

3D imaging with AiCE

3D imaging in MR allows you to see images from a different perspective however can generate more noise as there is more data acquisition required. AiCE supports 3D imaging superbly by removing noise from 3D images to maximize your diagnostic opportunities. Now you can see sharp, clear and distinct images at 3D, another big leap forward in MRI.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging with AiCE

Diffusion Tensor Imaging can visualize white matter fiber tracts by utilizing diffusion anisotropy.
In images with significant noise, diffusion anisotropy cannot be indicated clearly, however with AiCE the image quality can be improved.
