Subtle Medical vs United Imaging uAI

Deep-learning reconstruction is where the two meet, and the scanner brand splits them. United Imaging's Deep Recon, HYPER DLR, HYPER Focus and HYPER AiR for PET/CT were cleared under the scanner maker, Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare, so they fit a hospital standardizing on United Imaging CT or MR. Subtle Medical describes its software as vendor-neutral and has FDA clearances for SubtleHD-PET (K254013) and SubtleHD-CT (K254120) from May 2026. A PET program or a department running several scanner brands is the Subtle buyer. The company says SubtleHD(MR) runs sequences up to 80% faster and SubtleHD(PET) scans up to 75% faster. United Imaging's uAI line also includes Easy Triage ICH (K242292) for non-contrast head CT and a rib triage tool, which sit outside the reconstruction question.
