United Imaging Intelligence at RSNA 2024: Transforming Healthcare with AI
As the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2024 closed its doors, United Imaging Intelligence (UII), a key player in the medical AI field and a subsidiary of United Imaging Group, made a remarkable impacto that resonated with the event's theme of "Building Intelligent Connections." This year’s event showcased UII's commitment to redefining healthcare through advanced AI technologies.
Introducing the uAI PLUS Platform
At the heart of UII's presentation was the introduction of the
uAI PLUS, a pioneering foundational platform designed to propel medical AI into new realms. This versatile tool brings together various models, including Medical Imaging Foundation Models, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Multimodal LLMs. Such integration unlocks the potential for a deeper comprehension of medical imaging, advanced clinical scenarios, and essential healthcare knowledge, thereby elevating the standards of diagnosis and treatment.
The implications of this platform are substantial, spanning clinical diagnostics, surgical procedures, biomedical research, hospital management, and patient services. By optimizing workflows, this technology seeks to enhance precision in medical care and foster improved patient outcomes.
Revolutionary Applications Highlighted
UII took the opportunity to highlight two innovative solutions birthed from this platform:
uAI AVATAR and
uAI MERITS PLUS. The former acts as a medical assistant, powered by UII's sophisticated LLMs, while the latter is an enhanced surgical platform that incorporates uAI AVATAR to serve as an AI surgical assistant. These tools demonstrate the profound impact of voice interaction combined with nuanced medical understanding, ultimately empowering healthcare professionals and refining patient care.
The transformation begins in preoperative settings, through intraoperative navigation, and extends to personalized patient engagement, illustrating the vast possibilities that these AI-driven innovations can cultivate within clinical environments.
Encouraging Thought Leadership through Expert Dialogue
The theme of intelligent connections was further embodied in the
uAI CONNECTS panel at RSNA 2024. This event gathered eight esteemed experts from academia, clinical practice, and the tech world to engage in discussions centered on the integration of AI into clinical workflows and the establishment of synergistic collaborations in healthcare. Their insights sparked important conversations among attendees, emphasizing the evolving role of AI in enhancing healthcare delivery.
Collaboration for Progressive Healthcare Solutions
A standout moment was the presentation of a study from
Massachusetts General Hospital, focusing on UII's pulmonary embolism detection algorithms. This research evaluated the effectiveness of UII’s AI solutions across various imaging centers, illustrating their clinical relevance and adaptability. Such partnerships underline UII’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of healthcare through collaborative endeavors.
With 15 FDA-cleared applications—including clinical applications, algorithm-driven solutions, and advanced imaging technologies—alongside 13 CE-marked offerings, UII is enhancing its global footprint across critical markets, including the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
Conclusion: A Forward-Thinking Perspective
Dr. Terrence Chen, CEO of UII America, emphasized the enthusiasm among RSNA attendees regarding the potential of uAI solutions to streamline workflows and elevate patient care quality. These interactions revealed valuable insights into regional needs, underscoring the importance of collaboration and medical AI adoption across the globe.
Founded in 2011, United Imaging continues to drive progress in medical technologies with a pledge of "Equal Healthcare for All." With its North American headquarters situated in Houston, the company remains resolute in its mission to innovate healthcare solutions globally. For more information on UII and its offerings, visit
