NLNG unveils AI tool to cut MRI scan time by 90%

Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has unveiled GenScan AI, an artificial intelligence technology capable of reducing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan times by up to 90 per cent without requiring new MRI hardware.
Developed by Mary-Brenda Akoda, the technology won the 2026 Nigeria Prize for Science and Innovation (NPSI) and was presented to health-sector stakeholders in Abuja as part of efforts to explore its potential application in Nigeria’s healthcare system.
According to the NPSI Advisory Board, GenScan AI uses its C-MORE algorithm to reconstruct MRI images through a one-step framework, potentially cutting scan acquisition time by as much as 90 per cent while maintaining or improving...
