BoneMRI introduces new features for faster scanning and enhanced imaging

Healthcare professionals get more information and faster than ever.

Utrecht, February 6, 2025 — New features have been incorporated into the latest version of BoneMRI, the world’s only AI-enabled software that provides radiation-free, CT-like images through MRI scans for all spine and pelvic anatomies, with sub-millimeter quantitative equivalence to CT scans, for both adults and adolescents.

The latest features incorporated in BoneMRI:

  • Enable radiation-free CT-based surgical workflows
  • Reduce scan times
  • Provide clinicians with more valuable diagnostic information.

The updates are available to all BoneMRI users and include:

  • CT DICOM compatibility: BoneMRI can now generate an axial reformat, packaged as a CT DICOM, enabling seamless integration into any CT-based workflow.
  • Orthogonal and oblique reformats: View sagittal, axial, or coronal planes to obtain all the necessary information for patients. Additionally, you can rotate the scan by ±45° to enhance visualization of the intervertebral foramen and nerve roots.
  • Faster image acquisition: The sequence supports accelerated scanning while maintaining image quality, reducing scan time to less than four minutes.
  • Secure, PHI-free processing: In the cloud, all data is completely de-identified and free of any Protected Health Information (PHI).

With these advancements, radiation-free CT-based surgical workflows are enabled, scan times are reduced, and more information is obtained, adding value to institutions and improving patient care.

Utrecht, February 2026 – MRIguidance has released a new update to BoneMRI, making the solution easier to use across the hospital workflow while expanding compatibility with scanners, systems, and IT environments.

A key feature of the release is new stitching functionality, which allows clinicians to generate combined anatomical regions of e.g. the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, into a single, continuous image, providing total spine views. This enables assessment of pathology across multiple spinal regions without switching between image series, which might improve clinical confidence by visualizing anatomical relationships in one comprehensive view, and reduce interpretation time by eliminating manual cross-referencing between sub-regions.

The update also introduces extended compatibility across imaging platforms and infrastructure. BoneMRI now supports pelvic region imaging across the full range of GE, Siemens, and Philips MRI scanners at both 1.5T and 3T. In addition, the software expands support for Enhanced DICOM processing and is now compatible with Windows Server 2025 OS via the MRIguidance Gateway.

These improvements enhance interoperability with MRI scanners and DICOM inputs, simplify coordination with hospital IT departments, and broaden anatomical and vendor coverage to support smoother clinical adoption.

The release also includes additional support and security enhancements.

The latest BoneMRI update benefits radiologists, MR technologists, IT teams, and surgeons, further strengthening BoneMRI’s role in efficient, radiation-free bone imaging across clinical workflows.
