Case studies

How hospitals and imaging centers use AIRS Medical solutions like SwiftMR® to see more patients, grow revenue, and get more from their existing MRI systems.

Standardized MRI across 180 centers in 10 days

See more patients every day

Scan time is the bottleneck behind every crowded schedule. When SwiftMR® shortens protocols by 30–50%, appointment slots shrink, backlogs clear, and urgent cases fit into today’s schedule instead of next week’s.

Saw 25% more patients per hour on low- and high-field MRIs

A network-wide rollout cut scan times across every field strength in the fleet, lifting throughput on both low- and high-field magnets without new hardware.

Naugatuck Valley Radiology · Connecticut, US

Transformed MRI efficiency with AI across four locations

Installed across four locations in two weeks, with improvements visible within 24 hours.

Streamlined operations and kept up with patient demand

“We’ve expanded our daily capacity for care, boosting speed and image quality without ever touching our MR,” says Gonzalo Vergara, Imaging Director.

Centroeco · Novo Hamburgo, Brazil

Expanded MRI capacity without adding new equipment

Running at 92% scanner occupancy, Centroeco had no room for urgent same-day cases. Shorter appointments nearly doubled daily volume and freed up the schedule.

Grow revenue without buying hardware

Every appointment slot SwiftMR® frees up is a slot you can fill. By increasing MRI capacity, radiology teams can perform more exams, generate additional revenue, and achieve ROI in weeks rather than years.

3T Radiology & Research · Florida, US

Generated over $200k in new revenue in 2 months

Facing a surge in imaging demand, 3T cleared its backlog and turned faster protocols directly into new revenue, with no new equipment.

“The return on investment has been fantastic. SwiftMR has allowed us to increase our margins significantly with reduced hours and more scans per day.”

Humberto Carrion, Co-founder, 3T Radiology & Research

Added 200 more patients in the first month with no new hardware

An aging Philips 1.5T went from 30- to 20-minute slots, extending its useful life by 2–3 years.

Invision Sally Jobe · Denver, US

Conserved capital and increased efficiency with SwiftMR®

“SwiftMR helped us achieve dual objectives: improving efficiency while conserving capital,” says CEO Geoff Lawton.

New life for aging and low-field scanners

Replacing an MRI scanner can cost millions, but many facilities don’t need to. SwiftMR® is vendor-agnostic and works across MRI systems from all major manufacturers and field strengths from 0.25T to 3.0T, helping improve image quality, increase throughput, and extend the value of existing scanners.

Unlocked next-level efficiency on legacy 1.5T scanners

Across a network of legacy 1.5T scanners, Sanitas cut scan times 36% without sacrificing image quality, clearing backlogs and freeing capacity for more patients.

“This innovation allows us to increase the volume of MRIs, reaching new levels of productivity without sacrificing image quality.”

Hospital Ortopédico · Feira de Santana, Brazil

Transformed efficiency and image quality on a 0.35T low-field MRI

Daily appointments rose from 31 to 50 and the scheduling backlog fell from 7 days to 3. Urgent cases no longer get referred elsewhere.

Röntgenpraxis Am Marstall · Hanover, Germany

Chose SwiftMR® for efficiency and sustainability across 10 locations

“We found a solution that improved our image quality and that let us stay on budget,” says Florian Elgeti, MD, Managing Partner.

Doubled daily patients on a 15-year-old scanner

On a scanner more than 15 years old, Diagnose Ceres cut appointment times in half and more than doubled daily throughput, with sharper images than before.

Scans patients don’t dread

For patients with claustrophobia, anxiety, or acute pain, scan minutes matter. Shorter scans mean less motion, fewer repeat exams, and a more comfortable experience for patients and staff.

East River Medical Imaging · New York, US

Reduced staff stress and enhanced the patient experience

Shorter slots ended the scheduling crunch that stressed technologists and patients alike. One patient was in and out in 10 minutes.

“The fact I was in and out in 10 minutes felt like a miracle.”

Michael, Patient, East River Medical Imaging

Transformed patient comfort with SwiftMR®

“Patients with anxiety, claustrophobia, or acute pain benefit most from SwiftMR’s shorter scan times,” says Wolfgang Steger, MD, CEO.

Transformed patient care across 30+ medical centers

“Patients with claustrophobia are able to undergo exams quickly, and radiologists are satisfied with high-quality images,” says Tin Hung Ho, MD, Medical Director.

Launch services you couldn’t offer

When scan time stops being a constraint, new offerings become viable. Early adopters use SwiftMR® to stand up premium programs like whole-body MRI screening that would be too slow to run profitably on conventional protocols.

Launched a premium in-house whole-body MRI offering

SwiftMR® made a one-hour whole-body exam practical, letting 3T own the full patient journey, from scheduling to same-visit consultation.

“We saw whole-body MRI as a way for patients to take total control of their health.”

Standardize quality across your whole network

As imaging networks grow through acquisition, image quality drifts from one scanner to the next. SwiftMR® gives enterprise teams one cloud-managed platform that delivers consistent diagnostic quality across every vendor, field strength, and site, with the security and failsafes IT requires.

SimonMed Imaging · 10 states, US

One of the largest outpatient imaging networks in the US brought 180+ MRI scanners across manufacturers, generations, and field strengths to one image standard with SwiftMR®, deployed enterprise-wide in 10 days.

“We rigorously evaluated every major solution in the market, and this was a clear decision.”

MedStar Health · Maryland & Washington, D.C.

Built radiologist confidence, then scaled enterprise-wide

Presented at RSNA 2025: the largest health system in the Maryland–D.C. region built radiologist confidence through a structured clinical evaluation, then scaled SwiftMR® across a multi-vendor fleet from one centrally managed, HIPAA-compliant deployment.

Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging · Las Vegas, Nevada, US

Reached modern 3T image quality on a legacy MRI fleet

Presented at RSNA 2025: SDMI brought its ten legacy Canon scanners up to modern 3T image quality with SwiftMR®, with no workflow changes and no scanner replacements.
