Madha Medical College and Research Institute (MMCRI), Chennai, has achieved a regional first by installing the Acuson Origin AI-powered cardiac ultrasound system from Siemens Healthineers. This deployment elevates cardiovascular diagnostics at the institution, offering seamless support for transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) from outside the chest and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) from inside the esophagus.

The Acuson Origin stands out with real-time cardiac view recognition and advanced AI features like 2D/4D HeartAI for automated contouring and quantification eliminating the need for traditional electrocardiogram (ECG) synchronization in many cases. This enhances patient comfort, streamlines workflows, and delivers consistent, high-quality imaging for complex conditions.

Dr. J Raghav, Managing Director of MMCRI, stated: “Our core mission is to deliver world-class healthcare that is accessible and affordable for everyone. The Acuson Origin aligns perfectly with this vision.”

Sanjay David, Head of Ultrasound (ASEAN & India) at Siemens Healthineers, added: “The introduction of the Acuson Origin at Madha Medical College marks a significant step forward in empowering both patients and clinicians. By enhancing the diagnosis and management of complex cardiac conditions, this technology helps elevate the standard of cardiovascular care across South India.”

MMCRI’s adoption positions it as a leader in integrating AI-driven tools for precise, patient-friendly cardiac care benefiting diverse populations in Tamil Nadu and beyond.
