Every day you make hundreds of decisions impacting the well-being of your patients. This is becoming more and more challenging with the ever-growing amount of data. To overcome this, we drive the digital transformation of imaging to improve patient care and to provide better outcomes with increased efficiency.
Digital Transformation of RadiologyShaping data-driven decisions in imaging, improving patient care
Digital Transformation - What it means for radiology
Radiology departments
are faced with a multitude of challenges today like staff shortages, increasing
amounts of data as well as the need for faster and precise diagnosis and innovative solutions. These demands need to be met effectively and efficiently. This is where digital solutions can play an increasingly vital part in transforming radiology. Using digital technologies to turn large amounts of data into insights will support more precise diagnosis, targeted treatment, and greater patient satisfaction.
The digital transformation of radiology is centered around three themes:
Intelligent imaging
Innovation is central to assist in data acquisition. Intelligent solutions enable you to generate accurate data and faster image interpretation, thereby creating actionable insights. The possibilities of digitalization help users efficiently achieve reproducible results – by guiding operators through imaging procedures, so that they can interact easily and naturally with both patient and technology. This has been made possible by myExam Companion that launches a new era of intelligent imaging that works with you to efficiently operate modalities.
Intelligent Imaging to gather high-quality data while using the full potential of the systems.
AI-powered clinical decisions
One of the most pressing concerns in radiology today is the exponential growth of data and the shortage of medical staff. Intelligent solutions support radiologists in making better informed clinical decisions and adding value along the patient journey. Through superior integration and interpretation of data and creation of actionable insights, AI-powered solutions assist radiologists and clinicians in making the right decision for every patient.

Streamlined operations
Along with staff shortages, radiology and imaging departments worldwide are faced with additional pressures like increasing workload. Digitalization can unlock a whole new level of operational performance as well as hidden potential for improvements, helping you operate more efficiently. Digital solutions like remote scanning software and platforms that enable data-driven decisions along the entire patient pathway can empower you to simplify operations and create smart workflows to help reduce the workload and boost workforce productivity.

Future of radiology
We are striving to overcome the world’s most threatening diseases, together
To stay successful in meeting today’s challenges, hospitals, and in specific radiology departments, are increasingly focusing on an interdisciplinary, disease-oriented setup across departmental borders. We want to support these institutions along this journey by being their partner along disease pathways.
Already today we cover many clinical topics and tailor our radiology products and solutions along clinical pathways. And with intelligent, digitally connected imaging solutions in diagnosis and therapy, you can improve diagnostic accuracy, plan treatment options and guide minimally invasive therapy. With our focus towards the world’s major diseases stroke, coronary artery disease, lung and liver cancer, we are committed to support patients in every step of their journey.
COVID-19: What we can learn from the pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has been so deeply impactful that it has changed the lives and the way of thinking for all of us in a very short time. We believe it has the potential to significantly change the radiology and healthcare system: In particular, it might serve as a catalyst in developing more effective, efficient and, above all, more humane medicine.
To help address the pandemic, we are providing AI algorithms for trial and clinical routine.
We are fully committed to supporting our partners in the healthcare system to provide the best possible care for their patients.
