UMass Memorial Health offers MRI scans through its Shields Health partnership that use AI-powered image reconstruction technology to reduce scan time while maintaining image quality.
Details
UMass Memorial's partnership with Shields Health includes MRI systems that use a deep learning-based image reconstruction algorithm, originally from GE Healthcare. The AI allows faster MRI acquisition at 3T scanners without compromising image quality, with GE estimating approximately a 30–40% reduction in scan time for commonly performed MRI exams. This was described as being implemented at Shields Health locations partnered with UMass Memorial.
