The sheer speed of the scans is the biggest advantage. Being able to scan up to three times faster drastically reduces the amount of time patients have to spend in the bore, which is a massive relief for claustrophobic, pediatric, or uncooperative patients. It also handles motion and challenging anatomies incredibly well, meaning we rarely have to do repeat scans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although SmartSpeed drastically reduces scan times to help prevent patient movement, if a patient does move, the resulting motion artifacts can sometimes appear more exaggerated. Because the deep learning algorithm strips away standard background noise so efficiently, it inadvertently makes underlying issues like phase ghosting or motion artifacts stand out more aggressively than they would on a conventional scan.
