The company highlights agentic and voice-driven interactions that allow radiologists to control workstations and automatically feed AI-derived findings into structured reports, aiming to boost productivity and reduce burnout.
DeepHealth unveils next-generation imaging informatics and clinical AI portfolio at RSNA 2025
RadNet subsidiary DeepHealth announced a broad expansion of its AI-powered imaging and operations platform at RSNA 2025, including new Diagnostic Suite, TechLive remote scanning, Operations Suite, and multiple clinical "Suite" products for breast, chest, prostate, thyroid and neuro imaging. The portfolio, built on the cloud-native DeepHealth OS, integrates agentic AI, orchestration of over 140 third-party AI algorithms, and real-world deployments such as NHS England’s lung screening program, signaling a push toward end-to-end AI-driven imaging workflows at population scale.
Metrasens launches AI-enhanced MRI safety system Vantage at RSNA 2025
UK-founded MRI safety firm Metrasens introduced Metrasens Vantage, a new Zone IV entry control system that combines ferromagnetic detection with AI-driven analytics to detect projectile risks earlier and reduce alarm fatigue. By correlating data on magnetic signatures, personnel movement and door status, the system aims to deliver context-aware alerts and generate AI-powered safety insights, positioning it as a higher-intelligence replacement for traditional metal detection around MRI suites.
AI decision-support boosts thyroid ultrasound accuracy for less experienced readers
Research presented at RSNA 2025 and reported by AuntMinnie shows that an AI-based thyroid ultrasound support system (CadAI-T for Thyroid, from Korean firm BeamWorks) significantly improved diagnostic performance for inexperienced readers, raising AUC from 0.75 to 0.84 and improving sensitivity and specificity. Experienced radiologists saw little added benefit, suggesting that such tools may be most impactful as training and triage aids that help narrow the expertise gap rather than replace specialists.
