AI radiology

Radimal connects directly to a practice’s x-ray machine, and information is sent through artificial intelligence (AI) to conduct a preliminary analysis. A live radiologist reviews the case and consults the AI findings, using them to validate their observations and guide their examination. The report includes the case history, patient images, an easily interpretable visual representation of the examined systems and findings, and clinical notes. Average return times are 4 minutes for AI assessments, 40 minutes for 1-hour STAT consultations, and 3.5 hours for 48-hour standard consultations.
