What Physicians Need to Know

DICOM Support & Standards
The uMR 680 Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device is designed to conform to NEMA and DICOM standards.
PACS Integration Method
The system provides DICOM standards and a network interface for PACS integration, enabling enhanced accessibility, improved diagnostic workflows, and increased efficiency for medical imaging data.
Reading Room Workflow Impact
The uMR 680, powered by uAIFI technology, optimizes workflow through features like EasyScan (one-click solutions for daily workflow and automatic multi-step scan planning) and EasySense (contactless respiratory motion sensing, eliminating the need for respiratory belts). This leads to faster, high-resolution imaging and streamlined processes, enhancing patient comfort and technologist efficiency.
AI Model Architecture (deep learning approach)
The system incorporates uAIFI technology, featuring DeepRecon, a deep learning (DL) based image reconstruction technique. DeepRecon utilizes a convolutional neural network trained model for high-resolution and high-signal reconstruction, intelligently removing noise and improving image sharpness. It also includes a double safety lock design in both image domain and K-space domain for high-reliability results.
Processing Speed (per study)
DeepRecon aims to improve image quality without prolonging or even reducing scanning time. The uCS (United Compressed Sensing) platform offers ultra-high-speed acquisition and reconstruction, with a temporal resolution of 2.0 sec/phase. The system boasts reconstruction speeds of 100,000 to 130,000 recons per second (256x256 matrix, full FOV).
FDA Clearance Pathway (510k/De Novo)
The uMR 680 received FDA 510(k) clearance (K222755) as a Class II magnetic resonance diagnostic device. Subsequent modifications also received 510(k) clearance (K240744).
Supported Modalities (CT/MRI/X-ray/US)
The uMR 680 is a 1.5T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system, indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD) to produce images of the head, body, and extremities.
Sensitivity & Specificity Data
DeepRecon has been validated for image denoising and super-resolution across diverse demographics and pathological variations. Images processed with DeepRecon were evaluated by American Board of Radiologists certified physicians, who confirmed that the images met clinical diagnosis requirements and were rated as equivalent or higher in diagnostic quality. Non-clinical testing, including image performance, was also conducted.
RSNA/ACR Validation
United Imaging showcases its technologies, including the uMR 680, at events like RSNA. Clinical evaluations by U.S. Board Certified radiologists were part of the FDA clearance process, verifying image quality for diagnostic use.
Physician Tip

Leverage the uAIFI DeepRecon for enhanced image sharpness and signal-to-noise ratio, potentially reducing scan times without compromising diagnostic quality. Utilize EasySense for patients with respiratory challenges or those who experience discomfort with traditional respiratory belts, improving patient experience and potentially reducing motion artifacts. The one-click workflow solutions (EasyScan, EasyPlan) can streamline routine examinations, allowing more focus on complex cases and patient interaction. The '3.0T-like' image quality from this 1.5T system can expand clinical applications and diagnostic confidence. Consider the 'Software Upgrades for Life' program to ensure continuous access to the latest AI advancements.

The uMR 680 is designed with DICOM and NEMA standards compliance, ensuring broad compatibility with existing PACS and other imaging informatics systems. This facilitates seamless integration into current radiology workflows for image archiving, retrieval, and communication. Facilities should verify specific PACS vendor compatibility and consider potential middleware solutions if extensive customization or advanced workflow orchestration is required beyond standard DICOM functionalities. The system's focus on real-time reconstruction and workflow optimization suggests a design that minimizes bottlenecks in data transfer and processing within an integrated environment.
