# Vista AI

Vista AI is a medical technology company that develops AI-powered software for automating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition. Formerly known as HeartVista, the company builds FDA-cleared software—Vista AI Scan—that automates Cardiac MRI scanning so that any technologist can perform consistent, high-quality exams at any site, on any shift. Vista AI's stated goal is to make gold-standard MRI universally accessible by reducing dependence on specialist operators, increasing imaging throughput, and standardizing image quality. The company is headquartered in Redwood City, California, and its technology is used at institutions including Brigham and Women's Hospital, Stanford Health Care, Sutter Health, and Radiology Regional.
