Clinical Oncology

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

Engagement
Strategic Pod

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

Objective
Clinical Precision

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

Technology
Edge AI Mesh

Local Triton Inference Servers, Quantized Vision Transformers (ViT), and HL7/FHIR event-mesh.

The Reality Gap: Latency-Limited Care.

The client relied on a centralized 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 'Execution Gap' was structural: cloud-based AI solutions were rejected due to high-latency DICOM uploads and strict hospital policies against sending PHI to external servers. The enterprise required a 'Compute-at-the-Source' model that worked within the surgical theater's real-time constraints.

Diagnostic Lag
Time-sensitive anomalies were buried in massive worklists, leading to delayed post-procedural reviews.
Privacy Friction
Existing cloud-AI options created legal bottlenecks regarding patient data sovereignty and HIPAA risk.
Analyst Fatigue
Radiologists spent 40% of their shift on manual triage rather than high-value interpretive diagnosis.

Processing

Serial Human Review

Radiologists view images in chronological order, regardless of severity.

Parallel Edge Inference

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

Compliance

Policy-Restricted

Cloud processing was non-viable due to PHI transit risks and data residency laws.

Zero-Transit Trust

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

Latency

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.
