Overview

iQMR by Medic Vision is an AI-assisted MRI image enhancement technology designed to optimize magnetic resonance imaging workflows. It functions as a vendor-neutral, centralized network-based add-on system that seamlessly connects to all MRI scanners in an imaging department or practice via the DICOM network. The system receives fast-scan, noisy images from the MRI scanner, processes them using sophisticated AI-assisted iterative image reconstruction algorithms, and then transmits high-quality, enhanced images to PACS and/or other workstations. This technology enables a significant reduction in MRI scan times, up to 40%, while simultaneously improving image quality by reducing noise, enhancing contrast, and increasing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The result is increased productivity, improved operational efficiency, and a better patient experience due to shorter scan durations and fewer repeat scans.

What Physicians Need to Know

DICOM Support & Standards
iQMR connects to MRI scanners via the DICOM network, receives noisy images in DICOM format, processes them, and sends high-quality images to PACS and/or other workstations. The device is intended for networking, communication, processing, and enhancement of MRI images in DICOM format.
PACS Integration Method
iQMR is a centralized network-based add-on system. It connects to all MRI scanners in the imaging department or practice via the DICOM network, automatically processes images, and sends the high-quality images to PACS and/or other workstations.
Reading Room Workflow Impact
The system is designed to enable shorter MRI protocols, leading to increased productivity and an improved patient experience. It's an add-on tool that aims to significantly enhance the efficiency and productivity of MR scanners, allowing for more scans per day or managing current patient capacity with reduced staff, all while maintaining an unchanged workflow for radiologists.
AI Model Architecture (deep learning approach)
iQMR utilizes Medic Vision's proprietary 3D iterative image reconstruction algorithms, which are described as AI-assisted and machine-learning-assisted. These algorithms are specifically tuned for MRI images to substantially improve Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and image quality.
Processing Speed (per study)
A quantitative multi-site study demonstrated that implementing iQMR results in an average 40% reduction in MR scan time, with a 35% boost in productivity, while maintaining or enhancing image quality. The system operates in real-time.
FDA Clearance Pathway (510k/De Novo)
iQMR received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance via the 510(k) pathway (K173605) in May 2018. It is cleared for all body parts.
Supported Modalities (CT/MRI/X-ray/US)
iQMR is specifically designed for MRI image enhancement and supports MRI scanners from all vendors and models.
RSNA/ACR Validation
iQMR was showcased at the ASNR 56th Annual Meeting and presented at RSNA.
Physician Tip

iQMR can significantly reduce MRI scan times, potentially improving patient throughput and comfort, especially for lengthy protocols or patients prone to motion. The vendor-neutral nature allows integration with existing MRI equipment across different manufacturers. While enhancing image quality and SNR, it's important to note that the device processing is not effective for very small lesions (less than 1.5mm). Radiologists should leverage the improved image quality for diagnostic confidence and consider the potential for optimizing scan protocols to maximize departmental efficiency.

iQMR functions as a centralized, network-based add-on system that seamlessly integrates into existing radiology workflows via the DICOM network. It receives images directly from MRI scanners and automatically sends the enhanced images back to PACS and/or other workstations, ensuring compatibility with standard medical imaging infrastructure.
