AI Radiology Pre-Reading

Read every study faster, without leaving your PACS

Radivault pre-reads imaging studies to flag urgent findings and draft the routine report, giving radiologists back the minutes a growing scan backlog keeps taking.

30%+ of radiology departments report daily read backlogs over 200 studies
18 min average time to open and dictate a routine chest CT
3 of 4 radiologist burnout reports cite volume, not complexity

The challenge

The scan volume grew. The reading room did not.

CT, MRI, and plain-film orders have grown by double digits year over year at most imaging centers. The reading staff has not. Radiologists context-switch between urgent calls and a routine queue that has no inherent order. Report turnaround slips. Referring clinicians call. Radivault was built on one observation: triage and first-draft language should not require a radiologist to open a blank screen on every case.

How it works

Three things. Done before the radiologist opens the case.

01

Triage

Radivault analyzes the incoming DICOM study and assigns a worklist priority tier: Urgent, Expedited, or Routine. The tier surfaces directly in your existing PACS worklist via DICOM SR overlay or HL7 ORU message. No second screen.

02

Draft

For Routine studies, a structured report draft is pre-populated and waiting when the radiologist opens the case. Findings sections are filled. The impression block is flagged as AI-generated and awaits radiologist review. Edit and sign. Not dictate from nothing.

03

Route

When an Urgent finding is detected, a structured notification goes to the ordering clinician through your existing communication pathway: HL7 v2 ORU message, secure messaging, or direct EHR alert. No new notification tool to install.

Integration

Fits inside the tools your department already runs.

Radivault connects to your PACS worklist via HL7 v2 or FHIR R4. Studies arrive from your modality, the pre-read result lands back in the worklist before the radiologist opens the case. No parallel viewer, no new credential for technologists, no change to how studies are ordered or received.

Early reader feedback

What radiologists said in the pilot

The triage layer is the part I did not know I needed. Urgent findings are already flagged when I log in. I stop making the mental triage decision from scratch every morning. That changes how the whole shift runs.

We ran the pilot on chest X-ray volume first. Most drafts need a line or two of editing. For routine normals, it reads like a structured macro I would have built myself, except I did not have to. The turnaround time on that modality is noticeably shorter.

Data security

Patient imaging data handled with the controls healthcare requires.

Radivault is designed with HIPAA-aligned access controls and supports Business Associate Agreement execution as a standard part of onboarding. PHI is never stored in model training. We are not the right fit for departments that cannot execute a BAA before going live.
