What We Set Out to Improve.

Industry
HealthTech

High-volume multi-specialty hospital processing 2,000+ DICOM imaging studies daily.

How We Worked
Dedicated product team

AI Architect + Computer Vision Engineer + HIPAA Compliance Lead embedded with Radiology Ops.

Goal
Diagnostic Speed & Accuracy

Reducing radiologist alert fatigue by automatically localizing and prioritizing time-critical anomalies.

What We Built
Edge AI Platform

A practical solution designed around the client’s existing tools, teams, and day-to-day workflow.

What Was Getting in the Way.

The client relied on a shared PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) that required radiologists to manually review every slice of high-resolution CT and MRI scans. During peak hours, the diagnostic backlog reached 18 hours, delaying critical interventions.

The biggest issues were diagnostic lag, privacy constraints, and analyst fatigue. The team needed a faster, clearer way to manage the work while keeping the right checks in place.

Diagnostic Lag
Time-sensitive anomalies were buried in massive worklists, leading to delayed post-procedural reviews.
Privacy Constraints
Existing cloud-AI options created legal slowdowns regarding patient data control and residency and HIPAA risk.
Analyst Fatigue
Radiologists spent 40% of their shift on manual prioritization rather than valuable interpretive diagnosis.
The Solution

What We Built.

01
On-Prem DICOM Data Collection
Introduced a local streaming gateway that intercepts DICOM studies directly from imaging modalities via HL7 event triggers.

Before and After

How the Workflow Improved.

Area
Before
After
Processing

Serial Human Review

Radiologists view images in chronological order, regardless of severity.

Parallel Edge Inference

AI screens every slice in live use use use use use use as the scan completes, prioritizing high-risk cases.

Compliance

Policy-Restricted

Cloud processing was non-viable due to Patient health information transit risks and data residency laws.

Zero-Transit Trust

Inference and storage occur within the hospital's local network (HIPAA-locked).

Response Time

Minutes to Hours

Wait times between imaging completion and first radiologist look were systemic.

Milliseconds

Localized tumor bounding boxes are available before the patient leaves the modality.

Key Features

What Made the Solution Useful.

Fast Response

Quantized Vision Platform

Custom model quantization techniques reduced the compute footprint by 70% while preserving sub-millimeter localization accuracy.

Business impact
40ms Local Inference
HIPAA GATED

Removing identifying details Guard

Embedded local scrubber ensures data is pseudonymized before internal diagnostic logging, meeting strict HIPAA Title II requirements.

Business impact
100% Data control and residency
AI Assisted

AI-powered Worklist Routing

The system doesnt just detect', it automatically negotiates with the RIS (Radiology Info System) to re-prioritize the human queue.

Business impact
4.5x Prioritization Throughput
Faster Delivery

How We Reduced Build Time.

Tested foundations helped the team spend less time on setup and more time on the parts that made this product useful.

What accelerated the work

4 reusable building blocks
01

HIPAA-compliant Data Module

A tested starting point for hipaa-compliant data module reduced repeated setup work.

02

DICOM Streamer Module

Reusable work for dicom streamer module let the team focus more time on the client’s specific needs.

03

Diagnostic Monitoring Platform

This made it easier to add diagnostic monitoring platform without rebuilding common foundations.

04

Edge Reliability Controls

A tested starting point for edge reliability controls reduced repeated setup work.

Client Testimonial

In their own words.

Coretus didnt just build a detector, they built a live diagnostic partner . We eliminated the Cloud-Gap' completely, allowing our radiologists to focus onInterpretation while the Edge platform handles the prioritization with surgical accuracy.

Bring Diagnostic Intelligence to the Edge.
