AI-Rad Companion
Providing multi-modality imaging decision support
The AI-Rad Companion, our family of AI-powered, cloud-based 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

AI-Rad Companion Brain MR1 – your imaging decision support aide for morphometry analysis
This extension is a post-processing image analysis software that assists clinicians in viewing, analyzing, and evaluating MR brain images as a diagnostic aid. AI-Rad Companion brings value to the interpretation process in supporting the clinician by automatic segmentation and analysis of individual brain structures. The volume of each of these structures will be compared to a normative database and results will be offered in graphics and numerical values.
AI-Rad Companion Chest CT1 – your imaging decision support aide for chest CT interpretation
This includes the ability to provide lung lobe segmentation, lung lesion detection and measurements, heart segmentation and calcium detection, aorta segmentation and diameter measurements, as well as vertebra body segmentation and measurement. With the current COVID-19 pandemic, users can also take advantage of the pulmonary density results, which identifies areas of increased density, which may be used to identify pneumonia related to COVID-19.
AI-Rad Companion Chest X-ray2 – your aide for chest X-ray interpretation
The application helps to detect radiographic findings on Chest X-ray images with the use of AI. The algorithm can characterize and highlight the findings of pulmonary lesions, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, consolidation and atelectasis. The output from the AI-Rad Companion Chest X-ray is used in concurrent-read mode to support radiologists in their differential diagnosis and clinical decision-making.
AI-Rad Companion Prostate MR1 – your aide for biopsy support
The application supports in annotating images of the prostate gland for targeted MR/US-fusion biopsies and seamless information transfer to the urologist. Efficiency is gained as the AI-Rad Companion automatically segments the prostate gland, typically a tedious and time-consuming manual task. The radiologist can additionally mark potential targets for biopsy, reducing the risk for information loss. This may foster collaboration between the radiologist and the urologist.
AI-Rad Companion Organs RT1 – your aide for radiation therapy planning
AI-Rad Companion Organs RT automatically contours several organs at risk. This input can be used for further processing in a treatment planning system. This enables physicians to free up resources for other time-consuming tasks and drives standardization across different individuals and institutions.

COVID-19
The entire global population has been impacted, in one way or another, by the COVID-19 virus. The AI-Rad Companion, our Siemens Healthineers AI driven solution, offers our customers the opportunity to have access to different postprocessing software for the analysis of lung examinations.
AI-Rad Companion Research CT Pneumonia Analysis4
This prototype was designed to automatically identify and quantify hyperdense regions of the lung, enabling simple to use analysis of non-contrasted lung CT scans for research purposes. Parts of its algorithms are now available in AI-Rad Companion Chest CT.
AI-Rad Companion Chest X-ray2
Chest imaging, X-ray in particular, plays an important role in patient management during the COVID-19 pandemic5. Patient management and clinical decisions depend on clinical outcomes and imaging reports. The new member of the AI-Rad Companion family, the AI-Rad Companion Chest X-ray, automatically processes upright chest X-ray images (PA direction). Next to pneumothorax, pleural effusion and nodule detection, the AI-Rad Companion Chest X-ray is able to indicate consolidations and atelectasis. The latter may be signs of pneumonia caused by the COVID-19 virus.
