United Imaging's Artificial Intelligence Subsidiary Wins in Facebook AI Research & NYU School of Medicine Global Competition

United Imaging, a global leader in advanced medical imaging and radiotherapy equipment, followed a strong appearance at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) with a win in a competition jointly organized by Facebook AI Research and NYU Langone Health. The company's United Imaging Intelligence America subsidiary led out of Boston won top prize in the multi-coil 4x acceleration category, a clinically relevant challenge designed to accelerate MRI scans using artificial intelligence (AI). "Using AI to create highly accurate images from significantly smaller amounts of raw data could result in much faster scans," commented Dr. Terrence Chen, CEO of United Imaging Intelligence America. "This could improve the patient experience and make scans more accessible." Fast and accurate MRI image reconstruction from under-sampled data is critically important in clinical practice.
