HeartVista Brings Artificial Intelligence to Cardiac MRI
HeartVista is hoping to increase the use of CardiacMRIâs. To achieve this goal, the Los Altos, CA-based company has developed the One Click Cardiac Package MRI software, which recently received FDA clearance.
âIt has been widely excepted in the clinical community and the scientific community that cardiac MRI is the gold standard for everything that you can almost do or diagnose in a cardiac setting,â Itamar Kandel, HeartVistaâs CEO, told MD+DI. âBut the problem is that the actual scan itself is very complex; takes a lot of time, and takes a very high level of skill to even perform.â
He added, âYou have this situation where the best technology is not approachable to the vast majority of the needs. The problem we came to solve is to bring this technology to the masses -to democratize Cardiac MRI.â
HeartVistaâs FDA-cleared Cardiac Package uses AI-assisted software to prescribe the standard cardiac views with just one click, and in as few as 10 seconds, while the patient breathes freely. A unique artifact detection neural network is incorporated in HeartVistaâs protocol to identify when the image quality is below the acceptable threshold, prompting the operator to reacquire the questioned images if desired. Inversion time is optimized with further AI assistance prior to the myocardial delayed-enhancemen...
