Radiologists + AI
Faster, Higher-Quality Care

Since developing and launching our first model in 2015, vRad has been at the forefront of AI in radiology.

Each Year, vRad AI is Improving Care for Thousands of Critical Patients

27 AI Models

Developed by vRad to target the most commonly missed findings and those with the greatest impact on patient care

2,000+ Diagnosis Corrections

Identifying critical finding errors early for QA and rapid correction

36,000+ AI-Boosted Critical Findings

Reducing emergent turnaround times by 15+ minutes on average—and often by hours for non-emergent cases with unexpected critical pathology

Quality Assurance and Prioritization for
15 Critical Pathologies

Higher Radiology Quality

As the landmark 1999 report To Err is Human highlighted, errors in healthcare are inevitable—but they can be quickly corrected.

vRad AI acts as a powerful safety net,¹ identifying 2,000+ diagnostic errors annually across eight critical pathologies, for quality improvement and timely clinical correction.

vRad AI

99.87% Accuracy

While 2,000+ diagnostic corrections is a significant number, vRad radiologists read 6.7M studies annually. AI enhances our robust QA program, which has enabled vRad to maintain consistent accuracy for many years—currently 99.87%. With just 1.3 major misses per 1,000 reads, our error rate is lower than published benchmarks like the Wilson Wong study (JACR, 2005).

Mistakes happen in healthcare. Catching errors early and learning from them can significantly reduce the impact on patients.

Correcting Errors Benefits Everyone

Medical malpractice lawsuits often involve all physicians and facilities in a case. vRad AI enhances accuracy, reducing malpractice exposure for clients and mitigating millions of dollars in potential indemnity costs annually.

Faster Radiology Care

With rising volumes and a persistent nationwide radiologist shortage, vRad AI is a crucial safety net, automatically identifying and prioritizing cases with suspected critical findings.

AI reviews all relevant incoming images for thirteen critical findings. When pathology is suspected, the case is immediately routed to all available radiologists and placed at the top of their worklists—without disrupting workflow.

Emergent Order Prioritization

vRad receives a high volume of urgent orders from emergency departments nationwide. Each year, 36,000+ confirmed critical findings are prioritized by vRad AI, reducing turnaround times by 15+ minutes on average.

Hidden Threats in Routine Imaging

vRad’s AI also detects critical findings in routine imaging, when they’re not suspected. Each year, AI prioritizes 14,000+ non-emergent cases—including 1,200 confirmed intracranial hemorrhages, 200 pulmonary emboli, and 20 aortic dissections—accelerating care by hours, compared to standard, non-emergent turnaround times.

“I never feel like I’m working without a net.”

Complete and Accurate Radiology Reports

vRad’s automated radiologist alerts, embedded in the vRad Platform, help eliminate common reporting errors, including:

  • Left vs. right discrepancies
  • Omitted terminology for reimbursement
  • Required criteria like Fleischner guidelines or LI-RADS scores
  • …and many more.

vRad AI software does not provide any diagnostic or treatment information or recommendations. Studies are not flagged for the radiologist in any way to indicate that an AI model has identified a likelihood of the presence of any pathology.  AI functionality is intended for prioritization and quality assurance, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, mitigate, or cure any disease or condition. Accuracy, recall, precision, and false negatives vary by AI model.
