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 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
