Subtle Medical Expands in Latin America: SubtleHD™ Now Commercially Available in Chile, Distributed by Hospiline
MENLO PARK, Calif., May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Subtle Medical, a global leader in AI-powered medical imaging software, announced today the commercial availability of SubtleHD™ in Chile, marking an important step in expanding access to advanced imaging solutions across Latin America. The company also confirmed it will partner with Hospiline, a trusted regional distributor that currently supports Subtle Medical's growth in Brazil. SubtleHD™ is an FDA-cleared and CE-marked deep learning technology that transforms the quality of MRI images and enables up to 80% time savings on some sequences. It integrates seamlessly into existing clinical workflows, extending the life and performance of existing MRI scanners, an especially critical need across Latin America, where aging imaging infrastructure is common. In Brazil, for example, over 66% of MRI scanners are more than six years old, while demand for MRI exams is growing rapidly, estimated at 30,000 scans per million inhabitants per year. As patient volumes rise, public institutions often face long wait times, and many providers are challenged to meet demand with outdated equipment. SubtleHD helps imaging providers unlock new scan slots without purchasing new hardware, improving operational efficiency and patient throughput. With SubtleHD, healthcare institutions in Chile can now benefit from: Improved image quality even on older MRI systems Faster exam times, helping reduce patient backlog Vendor-neutral compatibility with existing infrastructure "We're thrilled to expand access to SubtleHD in Chile," said Josh Gurewitz, Chief Commercial Officer, at Subtle Medical. "With the support of Hospiline, imaging providers across the region can now harness AI to overcome infrastructure gaps, boost productivity, and elevate diagnostic confidence."

SubtleHD™ Gains Health Canada Approval to Support MRI Efficiency Improvements
SubtleHD delivers breakthrough efficiency and image quality to address Canada's urgent need for faster MRI access. MENLO PARK, Calif., May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Subtle Medical, a global leader in AI-powered medical imaging enhancement, today announced that SubtleHD™ has received Health Canada approval, officially expanding access to its cutting-edge MRI image enhancement software to healthcare providers across Canada. SubtleHD is designed to dramatically reduce MRI scan times, with some sequences up to 80% faster, improve image quality, and enhance radiology workflows—all without the need for new hardware. This clearance comes at a critical time for Canada's healthcare system. Wait times for medical imaging in the country are among the longest in the developed world. According to the Canadian Association of Radiologists, MRI wait times can stretch beyond 3 to 6 months in some provinces【¹】. In Ontario alone, more than 80% of patients wait longer than the recommended 28 days for an MRI scan【²】, often delaying diagnosis and treatment for serious conditions, including cancer, neurological disease, and musculoskeletal injuries. SubtleHD™ will provide Canadian hospitals and imaging centers with: Superior Image Quality – Enhances diagnostic confidence even on older MRI machines, with advanced denoising and sharpening across all body parts, sequences, and contrasts. Dramatically Faster Scans – Enables up to 80% shorter sequences, helping facilities increase daily scan volume, add additional slot times, and reduce backlogs. Vendor-Neutral Integration – Seamlessly integrates into existing MRI infrastructure without requiring scanner replacements or upgrades. Improved Patient Care – Shorter scans reduce patient discomfort, lower the need for rescans due to motion artifacts, and help accelerate access to diagnosis. SubtleHD™ is part of Subtle-ELITE™, an industry-first MRI enhancement package that also includes SubtleSYNTH™ and SubtleALIGN™—all designed to dramatically improve image quality, speed, and workflow automation. While SubtleSYNTH and SubtleALIGN are currently pending, SubtleHD™ is now commercially available in Canada as a standalone solution. Once approved, all three products will be offered together as a powerful, integrated AI package for MRI providers. "Health Canada's clearance of SubtleHD™ is a vital milestone for improving the accessibility and quality of MRI across the country," said Josh Gurewitz, Chief Commercial Officer at Subtle Medical. "With this approval, healthcare providers in Canada can immediately begin using our AI to expand imaging capacity, reduce burnout, and deliver faster diagnoses for patients—without needing to buy a new scanner." Canadian imaging leaders have repeatedly emphasized the need for innovative solutions that can scale quickly. SubtleHD™ answers that call by empowering radiology departments to do more with less: more patients, better image quality, and greater efficiency from the same resources.
