Data sheet AI-Rad Companion Brain MR Version VA51 Valid from January 2025 siemens-healthineers.com/ai-rad SIEMENS Healthineers AI-Rad Companion Brain MR VA51 · Data sheet The AI-Rad Companion product family provides automated post-processing of medical images by integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms into the clinicians workflow. The results generated by AI-Rad Companion can then be sent to predefined systems that can receive DICOM objects. AI-Rad Companion supports cloud-based and on-edge deployment options. Thus enabling the institution to select the option that better suits their requirements. In many countries, the number of imaging Advanced image processing tools in AI-Rad Companion examinations is steadily increasing, but the number of Brain MR support clinicians in analyzing and processing experts is not growing proportionally. This results in a medical images. dramatic increase in the workload per radiologist. The effect of this is that shorter reading times can have a The AI-Rad Companion Brain MR automatically prepares negative impact on the quality of the reports 1 valuable information for clinicians in order to facilitate the . subsequent image interpretation workflow.
