Cortechs.ai and Subtle Medical Forge Partnership to Enhance MRI Workflow

Cortechs.ai, a leader in quantitative neuroimaging, has partnered with Subtle Medical, known for its AI-driven medical imaging enhancement, to integrate Cortechs.ai's NeuroQuant® portfolio with Subtle Medical's MRI enhancement technologies. This partnership aims to merge advanced image processing with quantitative neuroimaging within a unified workflow.

With an increasing demand for MRI services, the partnership is designed to enhance scanning efficiency and establish reliable quantitative measurements. The collaboration combines Subtle Medical's AI-powered MRI enhancement and alignment technologies with Cortechs.ai's automated brain volumetry and lesion quantification to support expedited imaging protocols and consistent analysis throughout longitudinal studies.

"Reliable quantitative neuroimaging is essential for supporting clinical decision-making and monitoring changes over time," stated Kyle Frye, Chief Executive Officer of Cortechs.ai. The integration promises faster imaging alongside objective quantitative analysis, benefiting imaging providers and the clinicians who rely on these results.

Subtle Medical's FDA-cleared SubtleHD™ utilizes deep learning to enhance MR image quality and can reduce scan times by up to 80% in specific sequences. Its SubtleALIGN™ software automates the alignment of brain MR images to a standardized anatomical position, reducing variability in longitudinal studies. These features, when combined with Cortechs.ai's NeuroQuant®, NeuroQuant® MS, and NeuroQuant® Lesion Surveillance technologies, provide automated segmentation and volumetric analysis of brain structures and lesions. This collaboration aims to deliver clinicians objective data critical for clinical assessments and ongoing monitoring.

Josh Gurewitz, Chief Commercial Officer of Subtle Medical, emphasized the importance of integrated AI solutions, stating, "Imaging providers don't need more point solutions. They need AI that works together and makes every scan more valuable." This partnership will allow for quicker, higher-quality MRI services that integrate seamlessly into Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), expanding capabilities without the need for additional hardware.

The partnership includes plans to integrate Cortechs.ai applications into Subtle Medical's vendor-neutral platform, ensuring de-identification of imaging studies before processing, with results returned directly to PACS alongside enhanced images. The companies also plan to assess the impact of their integrated solutions on measurement consistency across scanners and longitudinal studies, with findings to be shared in a joint clinical white paper.

Both companies will highlight their partnership at the upcoming RSNA 2026 conference from November 29 to December 3 in Chicago. Attendees are encouraged to visit Cortechs.ai at Booth 5107 and Subtle Medical at Booth 5104 for more information on this collaboration.
