Bringing AI-powered MRI to Brazil

SwiftMR, AIRS Medical's award-winning¹ software, reduces MRI scan times by up to 50%² while enhancing image quality, helping to improve operational efficiency and increase patient access to care.

Iosei - Participações, a new company exclusively dedicated to AI, is powered by the expertise of MS Tecnologia Em Radiologia, which outsources radiology services in more than 90 practices across 13 states. With their deep understanding of local markets, the company is uniquely positioned to help diagnostic imaging centers implement SwiftMR, driving rapid improvements in patient throughput and scan quality.

This partnership will not only expand access to SwiftMR, it will also provide robust local support to hospitals and radiology practices to ensure they can fully harness the technology's potential. By offering on-the-ground expertise and dedicated service, Iosei - Participações will help these facilities enhance their efficiency and accessibility.

Transforming MRI efficiency

"This collaboration represents a significant step toward expanding access to our AI-powered technology, which has the potential to transform MRI by making the experience faster, more efficient, and patient-centered," commented Hyeseong Lee, CEO of AIRS Medical.
