DeepSpin
Ushering Digital Age in Medical Imaging

Since the start of this century, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an integral part of radiology, has helped neurologists analyze human brain with higher efficiency. The large and expensive spectrometers used in the labs, however, need maintenance frequently, adding to the cost for hospitals and clinics. In spite of regular maintenance, the wear and tear may result in spectrometers needing occasional reboots to work efficiently. This results in degraded image quality, prolonged sessions, and greater cost. Further, these complicated systems require technicians with relevant expertise to operate them. In such a scenario, modern technologies such as AI and machine learning can help researchers streamline their analyses. These technologies enable faster contrast scans and greatly simplify cardiac imaging workflows. With the increasing number of complexities in patients, there is an ever-evolving need for innovation to meet the limitless demands of the 21st century. Catering to these needs is Berlin, Germany based DeepSpin. The startup company DeepSpin is developing an AI-powered MRI imaging machine that is cost-effective and more efficient in extracting 3D images of the human brain. With a dynamic team of experts, the company aims to solve the challenges faced by hospitals and clinics.

DeepSpin’s new MRI system, currently in the development phase, leverages patented antenna technology to provide fast and cost-effective imaging. The company aims to break the traditional constraints prevalent in MRI with this revolutionary technology built at a lower cost, yet more efficient than what is available in the market. This will help the firm make MRI affordable to all patients worldwide. Unlike conventional MRI scanners, DeepSpin’s MRI system is easy to use and does not require skilled technicians to operate. Additionally, the system can deliver clinical information faster than traditional MRI systems.

Standing at the forefront of innovation, DeepSpin’s focus is on developing a AI-driven prototype of the MRI machine

Besides, it leverages sophisticated algorithms and has cost-effective hardware, which helps the company cut costs and make it easily available. Perhaps, one of the major differentiators of the DeepSpin’s system is its portability.

With a talented team and advanced technology, DeepSpin is taking medical imaging to the digital age. Its team of former consultants, MR engineers, scientists, machine learning experts, have deep experience in MRI. The employees have extensive radiology experience, which helps make the new system portable and efficient. They adhere to a generative topological design for the hardware and super-resolution deep learning on MRI images that brings a game-changing effect in the development of the new system.

Driven by the passion for innovation, Clemens Tepel, a former McKinsey consultant, and Pedro Freire Silva, a Ph.D. researcher from KIT, combined their expertise and founded DeepSpin to mitigate core radiological challenges by developing an advanced MRI machine. Together, along with their team, the partners drew up research plans and, in no time, proved the benefits of their innovative idea. With that, the firm has won industry-leading advisors on board and numerous partners in the form of clinics and hospitals.

Standing at the forefront of innovation, DeepSpin’s focus is on developing a AI-driven prototype of the MRI machine. With that, the company will move forward with the initial product version and carry out tests in pre-clinical trials. Furthermore, the firm strives to broaden its base of operations to sell its product across regions and, in the future, cater to a worldwide audience.
