How It Works

Chest CT triage that thinks like a radiologist.

DICOM-native integration. AI scoring. Automatic worklist prioritization. No workflow changes required.

Technical Overview

DICOM in. Priority out. Nothing changes for your staff.

ImageAssist connects to your existing DICOM feed directly. When a new chest CT arrives from the scanner, the DICOM ingestion layer captures the study and passes it to the AI scoring pipeline without any action from the technologist or the ordering team.

The AI model analyzes the chest CT for hemorrhage, pulmonary embolism, nodule, and effusion findings, and assigns an urgency score. If the score crosses the threshold, ImageAssist calls the worklist API to move the case to position one in the radiologist queue. The entire sequence runs in under sixty seconds from DICOM arrival.

Deployment is on-premise or in a secure cloud environment you control. No raw image data is transmitted externally. HIPAA controls are designed into the architecture from the ground up, not bolted on after deployment.

Integration

Works with the systems already in your reading room.

DICOM-native ingestion
Listens directly on your DICOM network. No agents installed on scanners or workstations. Works with all major DICOM-compliant imaging equipment.
RIS and PACS integration via API
Connects to your RIS worklist through a standard REST API or HL7 FHIR feed. Works with the major radiology information and PACS platforms without custom development.
EHR-agnostic
ImageAssist operates at the DICOM and worklist layer. It does not require EHR access to function, and switching EHR platforms does not affect the triage pipeline.
Deployment in 2 to 5 business days
Typical deployment from contract to live takes two to five business days. Our clinical team handles the full onboarding. No IT project required from your team.

Compatibility note

ImageAssist connects via standard DICOM protocols and worklist APIs available on any modern RIS or PACS platform. We have completed pilot deployments with systems from the major radiology software vendors.

We do not require replacing or modifying your existing imaging infrastructure. Your radiologists continue using their current reading software and worklist view.

Not sure if your system qualifies? Contact our team for a 30-minute technical review. We will tell you directly if we can connect.

Worklist Before and After

Position one, not position four.

Queue order puts the critical case wherever it arrived. ImageAssist puts it first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions we hear from radiology teams.

No. ImageAssist is a decision-support tool, not an autonomous diagnostic device. It surfaces urgency signals so the radiologist can prioritize their attention. Every flagged case is read and confirmed by the attending radiologist. The AI scores are visible as advisory context, not a replacement for clinical judgment.

ImageAssist analyzes chest CT studies for four finding categories: intracranial hemorrhage, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary nodules at Lung-RADS 3 or higher, and large pleural effusion. These are the findings most likely to require urgent read prioritization in a busy radiology worklist.

HIPAA controls are designed into the ImageAssist architecture. Patient imaging data is processed within your environment (on-premise or dedicated cloud). Raw image data is not transmitted externally. We are not claiming HIPAA certification as a company, but the product is built to support your department's compliance obligations. We are happy to review the technical architecture with your privacy and security team.

Typical deployment from contract signing to live triage takes two to five business days. Our clinical team handles the technical onboarding end to end. We need access to your DICOM network and worklist API configuration. No large IT project is required from your side.

ImageAssist connects to major PACS and RIS systems via standard DICOM and HL7 FHIR protocols. We have completed integrations with systems from the leading radiology software vendors. If you are running a major enterprise platform, it is very likely supported. Contact us with your specific system and we will confirm directly.

Yes. Our Pilot tier is designed for exactly this. It covers one to two CT scanners, runs month-to-month with no lock-in, and includes a 30-day evaluation period. If ImageAssist does not deliver what we say it delivers, you cancel. See our pricing page for the full Pilot tier details.
