MICSI GTM brain

MICSI provides MRI image enhancement software to imaging providers seeking better images and scanner efficiency.

category

MRI image enhancement software

market profile

  • text: Imaging centers balance scan duration, image quality, patient throughput and scanner replacement costs.
  • text: MICSI reports its RMT product is 510(k) cleared for MRI image enhancement and its PET submission awaits clearance; the site also contains unrelated gambling text, so claims warrant verification.
  • text: MRI acceleration alternatives use several approaches, including noise reduction and reconstruction, with varying clinical evidence.

personas

  • title: Imaging center operations director
    pains:
    • Long scan slots restrict capacity and lengthen scheduling queues.
    • Replacing older scanners to improve image quality requires major capital expenditure.
  • title: Radiology medical director
    pains:
    • Noise can obscure clinically important image detail.
    • Image enhancement must preserve anatomical information and be validated for the relevant protocol.
  • title: Imaging IT and PACS lead
    pains:
    • Processing must fit DICOM routing and existing scanner workflows without disrupting clinical operations.

icp

  • text: Independent imaging centers and hospitals operating MRI scanners with image-quality or throughput constraints; provider size is not disclosed.
  • text: Radiology teams using diffusion or functional MRI that can assess image enhancement and workflow integration for their protocols.

message pillars

  • text: Upgrade existing scanners through software.
  • text: Improve diffusion and functional MRI images.
  • text: Improve efficiency using fewer images.

objections

  • objection: Will denoising affect diagnostic information?
    response: Review independent studies and the cleared intended use, then evaluate clinically on the site's own protocols with radiologists.
  • objection: Can we integrate this into clinical practice?
    response: Confirm current regulatory status and intended use, DICOM routing and local validation before deployment. PET and MRI are distinct products.

Founders

  • name: Gregory Lemberskiy
    title: Founder
    role: Founder
    bio: Gregory Lemberskiy (CEO) co-founded MICSI with goal of bringing cutting edge image processing tools, that he encountered in the research setting into clinical practice. His PhD work (2019) focused on algorithm development for image enhancement and biophysical modeling of the MRI signal. His methods have been used to enable high-end quality on low field MRI systems through noise reduction (MICSI’s first product) and use MRI to characterize the physical properties of prostate glandular lumen.
  • name: Benjamin Ades-Aron
    title: Founder
    role: Founder
    bio: I got my PhD in electrical engineering in 2022 from NYU, where I specialized in developing machine learning based computer vision algorithms for the visualization of MRI data. I specialize in developing software to process and route diffusion and functional MRI data, with a goal of improving image signal, reducing noise, and producing clinically viable diagnostic imaging biomarkers.
