Airs Medical vs Circle Cardiovascular Imaging
SwiftMR from Airs Medical is deep-learning reconstruction that shortens MRI acquisitions. The vendor claims up to 50% faster scans and compatibility with Siemens, GE, Philips and Canon scanners, which suits an outpatient MRI center with full days and a waiting list. Circle Cardiovascular Imaging sells cvi42, analysis software for cardiac MR, cardiac CT and vascular CT, with strain, mapping and coronary plaque modules. The vendor shows Mayo Clinic Rochester and Cleveland Clinic logos, and a cardiology imaging group reading cardiac studies all week is the natural fit.
A cardiac MR program could run both, SwiftMR on the acquisition side and cvi42 on the measurement side. Picture one with budget for a single purchase and a backlog of strain reads. Circle's record includes Myocardial Strain Software Application (K232661, December 2023), while Airs's openFDA records name SwiftMR, SwiftSight-Brain and SwiftSight-BodyComposition. That program should pass on Airs.
