Magnetic resonance imaging has been conducted in radiology to form visual images from the scanning of human anatomy. Radiologists have been using MRI to detect health problems and form a diagnosis for patients overcoming their challenges. The machines tend to be tube shaped, incorporating magnetic fields and computer generated radio waves. The insertion of a patient into the tube will cause the internal magnetic field to combine with the hydrogen atoms of the human body, enabling cross sectional images. MRI techniques have been proved efficient; the latest technology has been implementing high resolution 3D images to help the physicians and patients foster a dynamic approach to success.

MRI machines have been proven to help diagnose health problems like strokes, tumors, brain injuries, spinal conditions, etc. Even though the machine itself is highly advanced for health professionals to conduct a diagnosis, the exam times in particular are really long, and for most of the time the imaging technique produces low quality, undetailed images.

AIR Recon DL has been launched to produce high quality images in a shorter time span. Developed by GE HealthCare, the elevation of the signal to noise ratio helped to cut the exam timing by up to 50%, enabling efficiency from higher quality images. Its development fostered a better approach for radiologists to quickly and effectively perform diagnostic procedures. Health professionals have proven their empowerment from utilizing the AIR Recon DL. For example, according to GE HealthCare, Dr. Pascal Roux, a radiologist, claimed that cases were more convenient to diagnose and they were capable of helping more patients in a shorter time frame. This proves that the AIR Recon development has enabled a healthy environment, inspiring doctors to perform successful procedures for their patients.
