Radiology Image Preparation Automation

Let your AI agent handle scan formatting, film generation, and patient record matching—so you can focus on urgent reads and patient care.

You spend hours each week in Excel, PACS, and email, manually prepping images for review. As a radiology technologist or imaging coordinator, you’re constantly double-checking patient IDs, printing films, and attaching documentation. The risk of mismatches and lost files grows with every manual step, especially when urgent cases come in.

Automates image formatting, film output, and documentation for radiology teams, minimizing errors and speeding up physician review.

What this replaces

Export scan images from PACS to local folders
Format and annotate images in Photoshop for physician review
Print films using Kodak DryView and check each output
Manually attach patient info in Epic to image files
Email image sets and documentation to radiologists for interpretation

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In hospital radiology departments, imaging technologists and coordinators waste 8-10 hours weekly prepping scan images for interpretation. Tasks include exporting from PACS, formatting in Photoshop, printing films, and updating patient records in Epic. Small mistakes—like mismatched IDs or missing documentation—can trigger compliance issues and delay care.
