Experience the AI-Rad Companion Trial Light
The power of AI is just a few clicks away.
With AI-Rad Companion Trial Light1 you can easily experience the quality of our algorithms – directly via your browser and without any installation effort.
Overview
The AI-Rad Companion, our family of AI-powered, augmented workflow solutions, helps you to reduce the burden of basic repetitive tasks and may increase your diagnostic precision when interpreting medical images.
Its solutions provide automatic post-processing of imaging datasets through our AI-powered algorithms. The automation of routine workflows with repetitive tasks and high case volumes helps you to ease your daily workflow – so that you can focus on more critical issues.
Up-to-date algorithms and scalable offerings
Our state-of-the-art algorithms will be automatically distributed to you as a user as soon as they are officially released and made available. Once the images are post-processed by the AI-Rad Companion, it supports your interpretation of the data by automatically providing results of its analysis to you for review, confirmation and possible inclusion in the final report or care pathway – to raise your precision and ensure high quality outcome in diagnostic decision-making.
All our AI-Rad Companion extensions are deployed via the teamplay digital health platform. This approach eases regular updates as well as upgrade processes and facilitates the integration of new offerings into the existing IT environment.
The AI-Rad Companion family is growing

This 3D overview of the thoracic aorta has been automatically created by the AI-Rad Companion Chest CT. It includes the measurement of relevant diameters, based on medical guidelines, and detected anatomical landmarks. This clearly shows how the AI-Rad Companion Chest CT can support the increase of accuracy of your reporting.

On this image you can see how the height of the vertebrae bodies is measured and compared. The AI-Rad Companion Chest CT automatically processes these measurements and marks abnormalities with easy-to-understand color-coding. Deviations are highlighted, while bone density is reported in Hounsfield Units.

The new functionality Pulmonary Density automatically identifies and quantifies hyperdense areas of the lung using non-contrast enhanced chest CT’s. The opacity score helps to assess the percentage of affected lung tissue.
Certain parts of the pulmonary density functionality1 of AI-Rad Companion Chest CT were used in the prototype Siemens Healthineers offered to fight COVID-19, to analyze ground-glass opacities and consolidations. High opacity abnormalities were shown to correlate with lungs of COVID-19 patients.
For this sub mSv CT examination the Tin Filter technology is used.

AI-Rad Companion Prostate MR performs an automated segmentation of the prostate gland, marks the organ’s outer contour and conducts volume calculation of the prostate gland. When the PSA value is known, it calculates the PSA density. The segmentation results can be exported as “burnt-in” contours in a Radiotherapy Structure Sets (RTSS) format which is then used by urologists in TRUS (Transrectal Ultrasound)-guided biopsies.

The algorithm automatically detects, segments, quantifies and classifies suspicious prostate lesions and provides this information along with a lesion score and visualization of their localization on a pictogram. The radiologist can manually adjust segmentations as well as the lesion, lesion score and localization and diameter of the lesion.
