Airs Medical vs Subtle Medical
Subtle Medical and Airs Medical both sell deep-learning software that the vendors say shortens MRI sequences, up to 80% for SubtleHD(MR) and up to 50% faster scans for SwiftMR. Subtle's range is wider. SubtleHD covers MR, PET and CT, with a vendor-stated up to 75% faster PET, and AiMIFY, made with Bracco, is described by the vendor as lowering gadolinium dose in brain MRI. The vendor says over 1,300 scanners run its software, and a $33M Series C was announced on June 2, 2026. Airs lists SwiftMR and SwiftSight, and SwiftMR was used in published studies of postmortem MRI, 4D MR angiography and T2-weighted liver MRI. An MRI-only outpatient center can run either. A hospital imaging department that also operates PET/CT and wants one vendor across modalities should pick Subtle, since its eleven FDA clearances include SubtlePET and SubtleHD-CT while Airs's seven are SwiftMR and SwiftSight products.
