Valuable AI Solutions for MRI Clinics
You hear a lot about AI in radiology, but what does it actually mean for the techs on the ground? I was chatting with an MRI tech using SwiftMR at one of the clinics we support, and they put it perfectly:
"I used to see a fully stacked MRI schedule and my stomach would drop a little. Love the work, hate the inevitable chaos – trying to coach anxious patients through 25-minute scans, fighting motion artifacts, knowing we'd be running late again. You know the drill.
Then, our facility started using SwiftMR. Honestly? I was skeptical. AI promising to clean up noisy images and cut scan times significantly? Sounded like marketing hype.
But seeing is believing. We started running it on our bread-and-butter T1s, T2s, PDs... and wow. The AI reconstruction genuinely works. Images are sharp, even with some patient wiggle, and scan times dropped noticeably – we're talking 50% faster on some sequences.
The biggest difference is that patients are less stressed being in the scanner for less time, which means fewer repeats. My colleagues and I are actually finishing closer to on-time, feeling less frazzled. Happier patients, happier techs – it's a real win-win.”

This kind of feedback gets us fired up at Brown's Medical Imaging! It nails the real-world value: less stress, better images, faster scans. It’s not just theory; it's happening.
-Scan times cut significantly (up to 40%)
-Sharper images, fewer motion repeats
-Happier patients, happier staff
We're consistently seeing that AI reconstruction tools like SwiftMR are moving from "nice-to-have" to "need-to-have" for busy departments trying to do more with their existing equipment. It's a smart way to tackle efficiency pressures.
If your facility is dealing with:
· Throughput jams
· Too many time-consuming rescans
· Staff burnout concerns
· Improving the patient journey
...AI tools are genuinely making an impact. At BMI we’re proud to help implement solutions like SwiftMR that address these daily pain points.
