Philips has received FDA 510(k) clearance for SmartHeart, an AI-powered planning tool that automates one of the most complex MRI exams: cardiac MR.
The system generates 14 standard and advanced cardiac views in under 30 seconds and is intended to reduce operator variability and the need for multiple breath-holds during scans. It may help improve imaging consistency and workflow efficiency, particularly in settings with staffing shortages or less experienced technologists, according to a March 6 news release.
SmartHeart is part of Philips’ AI-enabled cardiac MRI suite, which also includes tools for motion correction, quantitative perfusion and free-breathing imaging.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
