Rochester's legacy of imaging innovation — from Kodak's film heritage to URMC's research programs — creates a uniquely sophisticated market for medical imaging software. Build solutions that match this depth.
The Rochester Medical Imaging Challenge
Radiology departments face persistent pressure: growing imaging volume, radiologist shortages, AI tools that promise efficiency but require careful workflow integration, and referring physicians who want instant image access on their phones. Rochester's imaging programs operate at academic medical center complexity and need tools engineered to match.
Medical Imaging Software Solutions
Workflow Management
Streamline radiology operations:
- Worklist management: Priority-based study assignment to readers
- Turnaround tracking: TAT by modality, priority, and time of day
- Escalation alerts: Stat and critical result notification workflows
- Subspecialty routing: Automated assignment to fellowship-trained readers
PACS and EHR Integration
Connect imaging to clinical care:
- DICOM routing: Study distribution to reading and archive systems
- EHR integration: Orders-in, reports-out via HL7 and FHIR
- Prior study retrieval: Automated relevant prior linkage
- Dose tracking: Radiation dose structured reporting (RDSR)
AI and Computer Vision
