Ruby Hall Clinic Launches India’s First AI-Powered 3T MRI and South Asia’s Fastest 1152-Slice CT Scanner

Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, unveiled India’s first Philips Ingenia Evolution 3T MRI and South Asia’s first Siemens Somatom Force VB30 1152-slice CT scanner, revolutionizing AI-driven precision imaging and diagnostic speed.

Pune | November 7, 2025: Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, has achieved another major milestone in Indian medical innovation by introducing two cutting-edge diagnostic systems — the first-in-India Philips Ingenia Evolution 3T MRI with SmartSpeed AI technology and the first-in-South Asia Siemens Somatom Force VB30 1152-slice CT scanner. These landmark installations mark a new era in advanced imaging and patient-centric diagnostics.

The initiative was led by Dr. Simon Grant, Physician and Trustee, Ms. Natalie Grant Nanda, General Manager – Strategy & Business Development, and Dr. Pranav Mahadeokar, Consultant Radiologist and Head of Department at Ruby Hall Clinic. Their combined effort reinforces the hospital’s mission to bring global medical innovations to India.

The Siemens Somatom Force VB30 CT scanner offers ultra-high-resolution imaging and allows accurate coronary imaging at any heart rate a capability rarely seen even at top international centers. The non-invasive procedure eliminates the need for sedation, ensuring comfort for both pediatric and adult patients. It also uses 50% less contrast material, minimizes radiation exposure, and enables dual-energy imaging across multiple organs.

Complementing it, the Philips Ingenia Evolution 3T MRI employs SmartSpeed AI technology, enabling full-body scans in under 10 minutes — as fast as five minutes in many cases. This dramatically improves patient comfort, especially for children and those with claustrophobia. The system’s advanced liver elastography feature allows non-invasive liver health assessment, while its ultra-low-dose lung imaging can detect early-stage lung cancer using less radiation than a standard chest X-ray.

Dr. Mahadeokar emphasized, “With these two landmark technologies, Ruby Hall Clinic has taken a giant leap in diagnostic imaging. We can now scan the heart at any rate without sedation, complete MRI studies in minutes, and detect diseases earlier with minimal radiation. This is the future of radiology faster, safer, and powered by AI.”

Further strengthening its diagnostic excellence, Ruby Hall Clinic has integrated Asia’s No.1 RIS-PACS system, a smart digital platform for viewing, sharing, and storing medical images. Together, these advancements place Ruby Hall Clinic at the forefront of next-generation radiology and precision diagnostics in India.
