Nigerian Scientist Unveils AI Innovation That Could Cut MRI Scan Time by 90%

GenScanAI uses artificial intelligence and advanced computing techniques to reconstruct MRI images, with the potential to significantly shorten scan times while maintaining or improving image quality.

The innovation could help hospitals and diagnostic centres examine more patients using existing MRI equipment, improve infrastructure utilisation, reduce waiting times and support faster diagnosis and treatment.

By reducing the time patients spend undergoing scans, the technology could also help address capacity constraints in diagnostic facilities, particularly in a country where population growth continues to increase demand for healthcare services.
