The FastMRI project is a two-year-old collaboration between NYU Langone Health and Facebook.

True if the fastMRI collaboration between NYU Langone Health and Facebook (FAIR) was publicly launched or formed about two years before 2020-08-18, that is in roughly mid-2018 to late 2018 (launch dates from about 2018-02 to 2019-02 count as 'two years'), and it was a collaboration between those two parties. Mostly true if the start was about 1.5 to 2.5 years earlier, outside that window, or if the collaboration also had other partners. Mostly false if it began about three or more years earlier, or less than a year earlier. False if it was not a collaboration between NYU Langone and Facebook.

Set before the research began.

   “Facebook and NYU School of Medicine’s Department of Radiology are excited to announce fastMRI, a new collaborative research project that will investigate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to make magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans up to 10 times faster.”

   “NYU Langone’s Department of Radiology and Facebook have announced a new collaborative research project called fastMRI that will investigate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to make MRI scans up to 10 times faster.”

3. E3 New fastMRI open source AI research tools from Facebook and NYU School of Medicine Facebook Engineering (engineering.fb.com) · 26 November 2018

   “Facebook AI Research (FAIR) and NYU School of Medicine’s Center for Advanced Imaging Innovation and Research (CAI²R) are sharing new open source tools and data as part of fastMRI, a joint research project to spur development of AI systems to speed MRI scans by up to 10x.”

4. E4 Facebook and NYU School of Medicine launch research collaboration to improve MRI Facebook AI (ai.meta.com) · 20 August 2018

   “Since 2016, CAI²R investigators have been pursuing the idea of utilizing AI to achieve faster MRI scans.”

Facebook and NYU School of Medicine announced fastMRI as a new collaborative research project on 2018-08-20 [E1], and NYU Langone described it the same day as a collaboration between its Department of Radiology and Facebook [E2]. That date is almost exactly two years before the claim date of 2020-08-18. A November 2018 post also calls fastMRI a joint project of FAIR and NYU's CAI²R [E3]. NYU's own AI work on faster MRI dating from 2016 [E4] came before the Facebook partnership and does not change when the joint project began.
