Problem
MRI data quality is crucial for accurate medical procedures, but patient motion during image acquisition can significantly degrade image quality. This motion leads to less accurate diagnoses, increased costs due to repeat scans, and potentially poorer patient outcomes.
Solution
Turing Medical provides real-time MRI quality metrics through its FIRMM (functional image real-time motion monitor) technology, enhancing image acquisition by detecting and mitigating patient motion. FIRMM helps technicians obtain better brain images, leading to more accurate procedures and more confident practitioners. By reducing motion-related artifacts, FIRMM improves data quality, reduces the need for rescans, and ultimately contributes to better patient outcomes. FIRMM-PIX is an additional product that likely builds upon the FIRMM technology.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes MRI technicians, radiologists, neurosurgeons, and hospitals seeking to improve the quality and accuracy of MRI scans.
Features
- Real-time monitoring of MRI image quality during acquisition
- Detection and mitigation of patient motion artifacts
- Improved accuracy of MRI data for medical procedures
