Radiologists around the world are facing an unprecedented challenge: imaging volumes continue to increase while traditional reporting systems remain cumbersome, leading to inefficiencies, frustration, and burnout. At deepc, we believe technology should alleviate these pressures, not add to them. Recently, we had the privilege of hosting a webinar alongside our partner RADPAIR, where we demonstrated how AI-driven reporting integrated into deepcOS® is significantly changing radiologists' workflows for the better.
A Familiar Problem, A New Approach
During the webinar, deepc’s CEO and co-founder, Franz Pfister, discussed the daily challenges radiologists face. Constantly switching between image viewers and reporting systems, dealing with clunky dictation software, and performing repetitive navigation and corrections all contribute to workflow fatigue and burnout.
RADPAIR’s CEO, Dr. Avez Rizvi, himself a radiologist, described the experience vividly: “Your mind is split in two. You're reading images, yet simultaneously wrestling with unnatural dictation tools. It's mentally exhausting and prone to error.”
Introducing AIR®: A Simpler, Faster, More Accurate Reporting
To address these challenges, deepc and RADPAIR collaboratively developed AIR® (AI-driven reporting), which is seamlessly integrated within deepcOS®. This solution harnesses generative AI to transform spoken findings directly into structured, detailed radiology reports within seconds.
In a live demonstration, Dr. Rizvi showcased two powerful scenarios:
- Frictionless Prostate Detection: deepcOS® AIR® showcased its seamless integration with image classifiers, spotlighting a prostate detection tool. The system pre-populates a report with lesion classifications before the radiologist even begins. Adding further findings via natural dictation, the generative AI swiftly compiles everything into a structured report, complete with a PI-RADS impression. It’s a glimpse of AIR® as a co-pilot: pulling in AI insights instantly, slashing manual work, and delivering a polished error-free report in moments.
- Real-time Guideline Integration in CT Chest: While dictating findings, the radiologist triggers an automated guideline insert for the nodule. Powered by a Radiopaedia partnership, AIR® pulls in classifications and rationales mid-dictation, embedding them into the report without breaking flow. The system instantly finalizes a clean, structured output with an impression, proving how AIR® blends free dictation, smart integrations, and rapid processing into one intuitive workflow.
A Return to What Matters Most
Historically, radiologists dictated findings naturally to transcriptionists who managed the detailed reporting. With the digitization of medical imaging, the workload for radiologists ironically increased instead of reducing it. deepcOS® AIR® uses AI to reclaim this lost simplicity, allowing radiologists to focus entirely on images and patient care.
Franz highlighted this transformation: "With deepcOS® AIR®, radiologists no longer juggle between screens and report edits. You just speak naturally; the technology invisibly captures and structures your report."
Proven Impact, Real Enthusiasm
Early adopters have quickly recognized the value:
- Significant reduction in repetitive tasks.
- Enhanced accuracy through AI checks for context, laterality, and anatomical precision.
- A dramatic decrease in report turnaround time, from minutes to mere seconds.
Radiologists who've experienced AIR® firsthand describe it as "magical" and "game-changing," emphasizing it returns joy to their work.
