Full-Body MRI Innovator Ezra and Longhorn Imaging Partner to Bring Full-Body MRI to Central Texas
2024年7月26日 - 2:52AM
Ezra, a healthcare AI startup revolutionizing early cancer
detection through full-body MRI screening, has announced its
expansion into Austin, Texas, through a partnership with Longhorn
Imaging, a leading outpatient radiology network in the state.
Longhorn Imaging’s 12 facilities across the Austin metro area will
now offer full-body MRI scans using Ezra’s advanced AI technology,
aiding individuals in early cancer detection and treatment.
According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 148,000 people
will be diagnosed with cancer in Texas in 2024, marking a record
high for the state. Early detection is the greatest weapon against
cancer, increasing survival rates to over 80%. Ezra has created a
new approach to cancer detection by enhancing full-body MRI
technology with AI throughout the entire cancer screening process –
imaging, analysis, and reporting. This technology enables the
detection of over 500 conditions across 13 organs, with more being
added regularly. To date, Ezra has identified potential cancer in
6% of its customers.
This partnership with Longhorn Imaging will enable Ezra to
introduce its cutting-edge technology to Texas, offering residents
crucial insights into their health and longevity. Longhorn Imaging
is known for its patient-centric approach and commitment to
exceptional service, making this collaboration invaluable for the
Austin community.
“Longhorn has always prioritized providing patients with the
best possible radiology experience – and as so many of them have
asked for a service like Ezra, we’re thrilled to be launching this
partnership,” said David Avery, CEO of Longhorn Imaging.
“In 2024, over 600,000 people will die of cancer in the United
States,” said Emi Gal, founder and CEO of Ezra. “Early detection of
cancer can save lives – many of our members have received an Ezra
scan, found cancer, sought treatment, and are now cancer-free. We
are excited to continue fighting cancer in Texas and beyond.”
Austin is Ezra’s 12th metro area launch and its most requested
city to date, bringing the total number of clinics to 39, with more
locations planned in the coming weeks.
Patients can now schedule Ezra full-body MRI scans at 12 of
Longhorn’s Austin locations. For more information, including
