Subtle Medical Awarded Phase II Funding for SBIR Grant to Expand SubtleSYNTH™ Technology to Brain Imaging

The news comes on the heels of SubtleSYNTH receiving FDA clearance of SubtleSYNTH™ for Spine STIRs

Excerpt from the Press Release:

MENLO PARK, Calif., Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Subtle Medical, a leader in AI-powered medical imaging solutions, is proud to announce that it has been awarded Phase II funding of its NIH SBIR grant to further develop and expand its innovative SubtleSYNTH™ technology. This new phase of funding will focus on extending SubtleSYNTH’s capabilities to brain imaging, building on the technology’s success in generating synthetic STIR images for spine imaging.

SubtleSYNTH™ recently achieved a significant milestone by receiving FDA clearance for generating synthetic STIR images (SynthSTIRs) from already-acquired T1 and T2 weighted contrasts in spinal imaging. This clearance marks a critical advancement in the field of MRI, offering zero acquisition time for SynthSTIRs while maintaining clinical quality comparable to conventional STIR images. SubtleSYNTH™ is the latest addition to Subtle Medical’s suite of AI-driven solutions, which includes the FDA-cleared SubtleMR™ and SubtlePET™ software.

The Phase II SBIR grant funding will enable Subtle Medical to expand the SubtleSYNTH™ technology into brain imaging, addressing a significant unmet need in the field. By leveraging deep learning to generate high-quality synthetic images without additional scan time, SubtleSYNTH™ aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of MRI procedures, benefiting both patients and the imaging institutions that serve them who experience procedure backlogs, long wait times, and challenges staying on schedule.
