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.
FDA Clears Enhanced MRI-Guided Laser Ablation System
June 5th 2025An alternative to an open neurosurgical approach, the Visualase V2 MRI-Guided Laser Ablation System reportedly utilizes laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) for targeted soft tissue ablation in patients with brain tumors and focal epilepsy.
Can Abbreviated MRI Have an Impact in Differentiating Intraductal Papilloma and Ductal Secretion?
June 3rd 2025For patients with inconclusive ultrasound results, abbreviated breast MRI offers comparable detection of intraductal papilloma as a full breast MRI protocol at significantly reduced times for scan acquisition and interpretation, according to a new study.
Can AI Assessment of PET Imaging Predict Treatment Outcomes for Patients with Lymphoma?
June 2nd 2025The use of adjunctive AI software with pre-treatment PET imaging demonstrated over a fourfold higher likelihood of predicting progression-free survival (PFS) in patients being treated for lymphoma, according to a new meta-analysis.
