Ezra appoints Amanda Gearhart to lead AI MRI expansion

Amanda Gearhart.AI MRI developer Ezra recently appointed Amanda Gearhart as the company's manager of clinical partnerships to lead its 2024 expansion plan into new clinics across the country. 

Gearhart has previously served in senior roles at GE HealthCare (GEHC) and Philips Healthcare. In her new role at Ezra, she will lead the company's planned expansion into U.S. clinics and markets to make its AI-enhanced full body MRI scans more accessible to patients.

Ezra’s proprietary AI technology, Ezra Flash, received 510(k) clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May. The technology improves the quality of MR images, with the company saying this can decrease the time needed to complete a high-quality scan and reduce MRI costs. The company used Ezra Flash to launch the world's first 30-minute full body MRI scan.

In 2023, Ezra expanded from 15 clinics in the U.S. to 19 clinics, adding new locations in New Jersey and Los Angeles. Ezra currently offers AI-enhanced, FDA-cleared scans for breast, lung, and prostate alongside the company’s full body scan. Ezra’s full-body MRI technology is currently available in New York, New Jersey, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, and Las Vegas.
