beyond image
resolution.Pushing what MRI can see.

MRmicro turns clinical MRI scanners into a window on tissue microstructure — quantifying cell density, neurite morphology, and tumour signature directly from a routine diffusion sequence. Compatible with 1.5 T and 3 T scanners from any vendor.

What used to take days now takes seconds.

MRmicro fits novel diffusion microstructure models in real time on commodity hardware. No cluster, no overnight queue, no need to export patient data.

introducing virtual biopsy
remove contrast, reduce unnecessary biopsies.

On a routine T2 image the lesion can hide in heterogeneous tissue. Advanced microstructure maps allows early detection and improved staging of csPCa.

Removing invasive procedures from prostate cancer diagnostic pathway.

Same scanner, no contrast injection. Twenty seconds of additional compute, a clinically actionable biomarker the radiologist can use to decide whether to biopsy and where.

Reduction in unnecessary biopsies1
Fewer biopsies directly reduce complications like bleeding, infection, and sepsis.

MRI exam time without contrast*
Removing the contrast phase shortens MRI exam time by roughly one-third, freeing up scanner hours.
2-3 weeks
Reported waitlist after contrast-free workflow*
In a recent work*, avoiding contrast reduced the waitlist from 1 year to 2-3 weeks. No gadolinium injection avoids contrast-related reactions and long-term risks, creating a less invasive, less stressful pathway.
