Subtle Medical, a team of medical imaging researchers, AI pioneers and active entrepreneurs from Stanford, aims to use deep learning to greatly speed up the time it takes to perform MRIs-as well as make the resulting images higher resolution. The Deep Learning technologies applied will improve medical imaging for better acquisition, reconstruction, processing and analysis.

As a side benefit, the amount a radiation a patient is subjected to would decrease roughly by a factor of 200. This smaller amount of radiation was described as equivalent to the amount that many attendees experienced flying from New York City to the Bay Area. The more detailed MRI images may be able to even predict future medical issues.
