Airs Medical vs Canon Medical AI
Canon's AiCE is cleared inside the scanner. The openFDA records read like "Vantage Galan 3T V10.0 with AiCE" and "Aquilion Precision V10.14 with AiCE", 28 of Canon's 98 clearances since 2018 carry AiCE in the device name, and the clearances cover scanners that include the reconstruction, not standalone software. A hospital ordering a new Vantage or Aquilion gets AiCE with that order, and Canon's portfolio also lists PIQE super-resolution MRI.
Airs says SwiftMR runs on magnets already installed, and works with MRI from Siemens Healthineers, GE HealthCare, Philips and Canon. A center with a fleet it wants to keep would add Airs, and the Invision case study on the Airs page claims $1.5M of capital saved against a new scanner. One purchase is a scanner order and the other is a software add-on.
