Deep Resolve XA31

Deep Resolve is an AI-powered image reconstruction technology that takes advantage of targeted denoising and convolutional neural networks to generate high resolution images from low resolution input. Scans can be faster, boosting workflow efficiency while improving patient comfort. Deep Resolve will offer an open interface that encourages collaboration and co-creation in a secure digital environment.
