All MRI Systems at SDMI Now Offer Advanced AI Technology

Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging (SDMI) has completed a major technology upgrade that brings all MRI systems—both newer and legacy scanners—to the same advanced standard of AI capabilities. While SDMI’s newer MRI models already came equipped with AI-powered acceleration and image-enhancement features, this upgrade has elevated the legacy systems to match that same level of performance.

With this enhancement, SDMI can now confidently state that every MRI scanner across all locations offers advanced AI imaging technology, providing patients with faster scans, clearer images, and a more comfortable experience.

This achievement reflects SDMI’s unwavering commitment “to deliver an exceptional patient experience through compassion and cutting edge technology.”

Why SDMI Implemented AI in MRI Imaging

AI continues to drive some of the most meaningful advancements in diagnostic imaging. Industry data highlights several key benefits of AI-enhanced MRI technology:

• Up to 50% faster scan times, shortening time inside the machine
• Improved image clarity, with reduced noise and fewer artifacts
• Standardized performance across scanners of different ages
• More efficient workflows for technologists and radiologists

By upgrading legacy MRI units with modern AI capabilities, SDMI ensures that every patient—regardless of which location or scanner they use—benefits from the most advanced imaging technology available.

How This AI Upgrade Improves the MRI Experience for Patients

1.Shorter, More Comfortable Exams

AI speeds up MRI sequences significantly. Many exams can be completed in far less time, reducing the need for long periods of stillness and decreasing anxiety for patients who may feel uncomfortable during traditional MRI procedures.

2.Sharper, Clearer Images

AI enhances detail and reduces distortion, improving image clarity by 4 to 16 times on many studies. This gives radiologists higher-quality images, helping them identify abnormalities more confidently and accurately.

3.Fewer Repeat Scans

Because AI reduces motion artifacts and image noise, scans are far less likely to require repetition. Patients enjoy a smoother, more seamless exam experience.

4.Consistent Quality Across All Locations

With both newer and legacy scanners now performing at the same AI-enhanced standard, SDMI offers consistent, high-quality imaging across all of its facilities. Patients can schedule at the location most convenient to them without worrying about differences in technology.

5.Extended Scanner Lifespan

AI enhancements allow SDMI to maintain and elevate the quality of legacy MRI systems, extending their lifespan and maximizing performance. This approach ensures that patients benefit from cutting-edge imaging without the delays or downtime associated with full hardware replacement.

Advancing Imaging With Purpose

The integration of AI across all MRI systems marks a significant milestone for SDMI and the broader field of radiology. AI continues to transform patient care by improving workflow efficiency, image quality, and overall comfort during MRI exams.

By ensuring that every MRI scanner—new or legacy—now operates with advanced AI technology, SDMI strengthens its mission “to deliver an exceptional patient experience through compassion and cutting edge technology.” This investment ensures patients receive faster scans, improved comfort, and the exceptional imaging quality SDMI is known for.
