Intended Use

SubtleMR is an image processing software that can be used for image enhancement in MRI images. It can be used to reduce image noise for head, spine, neck, abdomen, pelvis, prostate, breast, and musculoskeletal MRI, or increase image sharpness for head MRI.

Technology

SubtleMR uses a convolutional neural network-based algorithm that applies fixed parameters as a nonlinear filter for noise reduction or sharpness enhancement on standard MRI images. It processes images input as DICOM or ISMRMRD format without a user interface, supporting 1.2T to 3T MRI scanners.

Performance

The device passed performance tests demonstrating improved signal-to-noise ratio by at least 5% in noise reduction mode and improved anatomical structure sharpness in at least 90% of datasets for sharpness enhancement, supported by a retrospective clinical data study and software validation.
