e-SPADES technology in veterinary medicine

e-SPADES is an advanced artificial intelligence technology developed by Esaote to improve how MRI systems acquire and process images. In simple terms, it is a “smart software” solution that both speeds up scanning and enhances image quality.

AI algorithms operate in two key phases: during image acquisition and during image reconstruction. HyperSpeed reduces scan time, by up to 60 % compared to conventional MRI protocols, while HyperClarity improves image sharpness, resolution, and reduces noise.

In veterinary medicine, e-SPADES brings an additional important benefit by directly improving animal welfare. Since MRI examinations in animals often require anesthesia, reducing scan time is crucial.

With AI support, scans are faster, anesthesia time is shorter, and image quality remains high or even improves compared to standard imaging. In addition, clearer images reduce the need for repeat scans, minimizing stress for the animal and making the workflow more efficient for veterinary teams.
