Cardiovascular Health Assessment for Healthcare Providers

The Challenge

The traditional process of analysing cardiac MRI scans is:

  • Time-consuming: A cardiac MRI scan (study) has between 3500 and 5000 slices, and manual analysis often takes up to 60 minutes per scan.
  • Subjective & inconsistent: Accuracy varies based on radiologist experience and fatigue, often resulting in diagnostic errors or delays.
  • Resource-intensive: Many centres lack specialised personnel or infrastructure to process cardiac MRIs effectively.
  • Disconnected: Existing solutions are vendor-specific, lack interoperability, and are often incompatible across platforms.

These limitations contribute to decreased accuracy, delays in reporting, and ultimately suboptimal output.

Our Solution

HarmonyCVI is an AI-powered cardiac MRI post-processing platform that automates and accelerates diagnostic interpretation using deep learning.

  • Fully automated segmentation and quantification of cardiac anatomy, including volumetric and Q-flow analysis, with clinical-grade accuracy.
  • Empowers clinicians with real-time, vendor-neutral, device-agnostic access to insights, reports, and structured data anytime, anywhere.

Key Features

    • Volumetric Analysis: Automated AI-based contour detection for left and right ventricles (EDV, ESV, etc.)
    • Q‑Flow Analysis: Automated segmentation and blood flow/velocity calculation without manual contouring
    • Multi‑View Layouts: Customizable composite layouts for syncing functional views for enhanced interpretation
    • Advanced Imaging: Supports Delayed Enhancement, Myocardial mapping (T1, T2 & T2*), Extracellular Volume Calculation (ECV), Global Longitudinal Strain, Atrial Volumes Analysis and bookmark-sharing across sessions

    Integrated Reporting: Real-time, interactive, customisable reports aligned to clinician needs.

The Impact

  1. Clinical Outcomes
    • <2-minute for processing all the slices and giving contours and parameters, making a quicker turnaround for the radiologist to report compared to traditional 60+ minutes from a manual process to about a 10-minute turnaround
    • Reduced radiologist reporting time from 60+ minutes to ~10 minutes, processing all slices, contours, and parameters in under 2 minutes, streamlining workflow and boosting efficiency
    • Accurate analysis for cardiac MRI workflows
    • Enables faster triage and better therapeutic decisions
  2. Clinician Efficiency
    • Seamless integration into clinical workflows
    • Reduces radiologist burden and minimizes inter-reader variability
    • Supports reimbursable, billable diagnostic workflows
  1. Health System Benefits
    • Adaptable for large hospitals, private clinics, and remote settings
    • Reduces time-to-treatment, lowers risk of missed diagnoses
