Subtle Medical's SubtleHD(TM) Awarded FDA Clearance, Setting a New Benchmark for MRI Image Quality and Speed
Friday, February 21, 2025
With FDA clearance of SubtleHD(TM), Subtle Medical launches Subtle-ELITE(TM), an industry-first AI package designed to achieve superior image quality, unprecedented speed, and workflow automation
MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Subtle Medical, the global leader in AI-powered medical imaging enhancement, announced today the FDA clearance for Subtle-HD(TM), the industry's most advanced MRI acceleration and enhancement software to date. This approval marks the official launch of Subtle-ELITE(TM), a first-to-market AI-powered suite that includes three software tools: SubtleHD(TM), SubtleSYNTH(TM), and SubtleALIGN(TM), all collectively designed to dramatically improve image quality and reduce MRI scan times with an 80% scan time reduction in certain sequences.
Compared with other image enhancement solutions, Subtle-ELITE(TM) drives greater value to radiologists and imaging institutions by combining three new tools into one package that optimizes the MRI workflow like never before.
The Subtle-ELITE(TM) package includes:
1. SubtleHD(TM) - Uses advanced denoising and sharpening, producing
ultra-clear images that often exceed standard-of-care quality. It also
enables significantly faster scan protocols - some up to 80% - and is
applicable to all body regions. (FDA-Cleared)
2. SubtleSYNTH(TM) - Leverages deep learning to generate MR imaging
contrasts from existing sequences, achieving 100% acceleration and
producing STIR images in 0 minutes. Currently available for spine STIR
with expansion to additional body regions underway. (FDA-Cleared)
3. SubtleALIGN(TM) - Automatically aligns brain MR to ideal anatomical
position with 97%+ accuracy, reducing variability and improving
consistency across longitudinal studies. Currently supports 3D brain
sequences with the option to generate orthogonal reformats. (FDA-Cleared)
Subtle Medical was the first to market with third-party AI-powered image enhancement software solutions with the release of SubtleMR(TM) and SubtlePET(TM), which are deployed in over 16 countries worldwide. SubtleHD(TM) builds on this foundation, taking advantage of convolutional neural networks to deliver sharper and clearer images while achieving even greater time savings compared to SubtleMR(TM).

Redefining MRI Performance Across All Scanners:
-- Faster, More Efficient Imaging - Reduces scan times while maintaining or
exceeding image quality standards.
-- Higher Patient Throughput & Operational ROI - Allows imaging centers to
add additional slot times to serve more patients without additional
equipment investments.
-- Superior Patient Experience - Enables hospitals and imaging institutions
to increase patient comfort by reducing time spent in the scanner.
-- Vendor-Neutral Compatibility - Works with all MRI scanners, regardless
of manufacturer or model.
-- Extended Scanner Lifespan - Virtually upgrades existing MRI scanners,
delaying costly capital expenditures.
"The FDA clearance of Subtle-HD(TM) marks a significant milestone in AI-driven radiology, giving hospitals and imaging centers a powerful solution to increase efficiency, improve image quality, and optimize workflows--all without additional hardware costs," said Ajit Shankaranarayanan, PhD, Chief Product Officer at Subtle Medical. "By combining SubtleHD, SubtleSYNTH, and SubtleALIGN into a single, comprehensive package, Subtle-ELITE(TM) is setting a new benchmark for the future of MRI."
