Circle Cardiovascular Imaging vs Philips Imaging AI
Philips Imaging AI is a portfolio. The FDA AI-enabled device list, updated through June 29, 2026, has 49 entries with Philips in the applicant name plus 10 DiA and 2 TomTec. Of the 49, 25 are ultrasound system clearances, which are hardware with AI features. Pricing is enterprise and OEM, sold with scanners.
A hospital replacing ultrasound, MR or CT systems buys Philips. Its press page for SmartSpeed Precise MR software says in the body that it is available and in a footnote that it is not yet CE marked and not available for sale.
A cardiac MR or CT lab buys Circle. Its openFDA record includes Myocardial Strain Software (K232661, December 7, 2023) and Cardiac CT Function Software (K241038, June 7, 2024), and no price is public.
Circle is the weaker pick for an echo-led cardiology group. Philips lists DiA LVivo (K243862, March 17, 2025), TomTec-ARENA and QLAB, while cvi42 reads MR, CT and CTA.
