HAWKCELL is proud to announce a new partnership with the CENTRE HOSPITALIER VÉTÉRINAIRE FRÉGIS (CHV FRÉGIS), one of Europe’s leading veterinary hospitals, internationally recognized for its excellence in neurology, neurosurgery, and advanced diagnostic imaging.
As part of this collaboration, CHV FRÉGIS has implemented HawkAI, HAWKCELL’s plug-and-play artificial intelligence solution designed to significantly reduce MRI acquisition time, minimize anesthesia duration, lower oxygen and isoflurane consumption, and enhance image sharpness — all while optimizing clinical decision-making and veterinary team efficiency.
“As neurologists, with HawkAI, we’ve decreased our MRI acquisition time by 42% for brain protocols and by 33.5% for spinal cord protocols. Even with the compromise between time and image quality, we have also drastically reduced image noise. We no longer have to choose between speed and image quality. New protocols are set, and that’s it—period! HawkAI not only saves precious minutes of animal anesthesia, but also reduces oxygen and isoflurane consumption (resulting in significant cost savings) and optimizes our imaging technician and nurse’s time. For us neurologists, faster image acquisition means quicker decision-making—allowing us to either end the MRI session sooner or add extra sequences without worrying about delaying the next patient. HawkAI is definitely a partner in performance and precision, driving progress.” — Dr Laurent Cauzinille – DVM, Dip. ECVN, Dip. ACVIM, neurology specialist at CHV FRÉGIS.
“As a veterinary MRI radiographer, my daily work is a balancing act between two demands: working quickly to minimize anesthesia time, while still capturing images precise enough to guide medical decisions. Finding that balance is often challenging. But with HAWKCELL, the compromise becomes easy. Sequences are faster, images are sharper, and image noise is dramatically reduced. And it’s not just a technical comfort — it’s a real, tangible benefit for the patient. Less time under anesthesia means less stress, fewer risks, and a smoother recovery. It brings peace of mind, and we know it improves the quality of care — for the animal and for the team. HawkAI — once you try it, you’ll never look back.” — Ambre Oreve – Radiology & PCR Technician at CHV FRÉGIS.
This tangible clinical impact reflects HAWKCELL’s core mission: to bring meaningful innovation into real-world practice. CHV FRÉGIS’ adoption of HawkAI underlines the growing demand for solutions that improve both patient outcomes and operational efficiency in veterinary medicine.
“We are extremely proud to welcome CHV FRÉGIS to the HAWKCELL network. Their decision to adopt HawkAI confirms that our technology delivers tangible clinical value in demanding, high-throughput veterinary environments. As one of the largest and most respected clinics within IVC EVIDENSIA — Europe’s leading veterinary group — CHV FRÉGIS sets the benchmark for diagnostic excellence. This partnership marks a major step forward in our shared mission to empower veterinary teams with faster, sharper, AI-enhanced MRI.” — Alexis Girin, CEO of HAWKCELL
