ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
• The application of artificial intelligence for medical 
imaging is advanced by this system. 
• This is achieved with data handling unique to the 
industry, reproducible reference implementations of 
state-of-the-art methods, and workflows for high-
performance testing.

NVIDIA VERSIONS
• As part of the revised Clara offering, MONAI has been 
launched and will come with over 20 pre-trained 
versions, including those recently created for the 
COVID pandemic. 
• It also comes with the new NVIDIA DGX A100 GPU 
training optimizations that include up to a six-fold 
acceleration in turnaround time for training.

DEEP LEARNING PLATFORM
• The go-to deep learning platform for healthcare will 
become this NVIDIA framework. 
• A lot of this may be due to the difficulty of bringing 
AI-based software for real clinical treatment from 
testing to production stage.

ENTERPRISE-READY FEATURES
• Thus the devotion of NVIDIA to enabling the 
academic community to contribute to a production-
ready platform would enable more creativity to 
create enterprise-ready features.

NEW RELEASE FEATURES BY NVIDIA
• Clara, recently launched by NVIDIA, claims to bring 
the latest breakthroughs to the MONAI community in 
AI-assisted annotation.
• The current update will revolutionise the AI-assisted 
annotation that enables radiologists to use a new 
paradigm called DeepGrow 3D to mark complex 3D 
CT data with one-tenth of the clicks.
