How 4 Aidoc Customers Are Experiencing Improved Radiology Turnaround Time

Imaging demands are increasing, and health systems are looking for ways to improve both efficiency and productivity to benefit patients and radiologists alike. One way they’re doing that is by embracing AI. 

With Aidoc’s AI solutions, radiologists get an intelligently reprioritized list of studies to review, ensuring they’re reading the most critical cases first.

This can help with downstream improvements, such as: 

  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment
  • Reduced length of stay
  • Improved patient satisfaction
  • Better outcomes

Aidoc’s Impact on Turnaround Time (TAT)

When it comes to radiology TAT, time-to-read is a key factor, especially for time-sensitive or critical findings. 

Here are some of the successes Aidoc sites are seeing:

  • University of Miami Health System (UHealth)
    UHealth experienced a 61.2% reduction in median TAT (186.65 minutes) for positive intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) patients.1
  • Lahey Hospital and Medical Center
    At Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, there was a 41% reduction in TAT (23.4 minutes) for positive acute pulmonary embolism (PE) patients.2
  • Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI)
    The team at Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) experienced a 98% reduction in TAT 7,624 minutes) for positive iPE patients.3
  • University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC)
    URMC saw a 44.7% reduction in TAT (30 minutes) for positive ICH patients.4

Axel Wismuller, MD, Director of AI Radiology Laboratory, URMC, said, “I started my career in AI in radiology 25 years ago and there has been no way to deploy the developments that we’ve published in academic papers. Now… Aidoc has opened the window to bring all these academic advances into the field.”
