The algorithm used by Compressed Sensing was developed by Siemens experts and won acclaim in 2014 at the Competition for Dynamic Imaging by the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. Together with research partners, Siemens Healthineers further developed the algorithm and transformed it from an idea into a product. All over the world, selected customers have been using a so-called 'work-in-progress' (WIP) package for a number of years now, which is an imaging package for application in research. This Compressed Sensing technology has been tried and tested in a number of clinical settings; numerous studies attest to the advantages of the method.
