FDA Clears Emerging AI-Powered Software for Brain MRI
Leveraging AI technology, the AiMIFY software reportedly facilitates double the contrast enhancement in comparison to gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) for brain MRI.
Offering enhanced imaging capability for detection of lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled software AiMIFY has been granted clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a class II software as a medical device (SaMD).
Co-developed by Bracco Diagnostics and Subtle Medical, AiMIFY enhances contrast on brain MRI to a level that is double the contrast generated with labeled dosing of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). The increased imaging clarity bolsters the detection of small lesions on brain MRI, according to the companies.

The companies emphasized research validation of aiMIFY use with a variety of vendor scanners and MRI sequences as well as datasets including diverse patient demographics and pathologies.
"By integrating Bracco's expertise in contrast imaging with Subtle Medical's cutting-edge deep-learning technology, we are poised to redefine diagnostic precision and efficiency, setting new standards in the field for the ultimate benefit of the patients,” noted Fulvio Renoldi Bracco, the vice chairman and CEO of Bracco Imaging.
