In addition to simplifying clinical workflows and shortening scan times, One Click MRI allows technologists, wherever they are available, to conduct a patient scan at a remote hospital, so long as the facility has an MRI scanner. This serves to expand the geographic reach of CMR and ensures that patients in isolated, rural areas of the country, where the shortage of MRI technicians is even more pronounced, can still receive an exam.

“CMRs should not be limited to people who live in close proximity to the largest and best resourced hospitals,” said Itamar Kandel, Vista.ai’s CEO. “Until now, smaller regional and community hospitals have struggled to get a CMR program off the ground due to scheduling challenges on mixed-use scanners, lack of trained staff, and quality inconsistencies. CMR’s differentiators are well-established, and it’s Vista.ai’s mission to ensure access to anyone who can benefit.”


While One Click MRI is initially focused on automating and simplifying a CMR exam, Vista.ai recently announced planned expansion beyond the heart to other anatomies and clinical areas.


About Vista.ai
Vista.ai is harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to offer clinicians an easy, cost-effective and less stressful way to conduct MRI studies. The company's FDA 510(k) cleared One Click MRI™ software-only solution automates and dramatically simplifies a CMR exam, enabling a hospital to obtain greater scanner throughput or get a CMR program off the ground cost-effectively. One Click MRI is available for use on Siemens Healthineers and GE Healthcare MRI scanners. Vista.ai is funded by Khosla Ventures, J-Ventures and the National Institute of Health's Small Business Innovation Research program.
