# Vista AI — Full Knowledge Map

Vista AI, Inc. (formerly HeartVista) is a medical technology company that develops AI-powered software for automating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition. Its FDA-cleared product, Vista AI Scan, automates Cardiac MRI scanning so that any technologist can perform consistent, high-quality exams at any site or shift. The company's stated objective is to make gold-standard MRI universally accessible by reducing dependence on specialist operators, increasing throughput, and standardizing image quality. Vista AI is headquartered at 702 Marshall St, Suite 280, Redwood City, CA 94063, and its software is compatible with GE HealthCare and Siemens Healthineers MRI scanners. Its technology is used at institutions including Brigham and Women's Hospital, Stanford Health Care, Sutter Health, Vanderbilt, and Radiology Regional (RadNet).

Entity relationships: Vista AI was formerly named HeartVista. Vista AI Scan is the company's primary commercial product. RTHawk is its real-time MRI research platform and SpinBench is its MRI pulse sequence design and simulation tool. Vista AI has commercial and partnership relationships with Siemens Healthineers (AI-driven image acquisition) and HekaBio (Japan market), and is backed by Khosla Ventures and health-system investors.
