For patients, a CT or X-ray to diagnose health issues is one step in a care journey. With the help of Aidoc (pronounced A-doc) technology, Mercy is transforming its imaging services by giving patients across its footprint extra peace of mind.

“Patients scheduled for most imaging services at any Mercy facility – hospital or outpatient – will benefit from advanced AI technology assisting radiologists in prioritizing and analyzing imaging studies,” said Dr. John Mohart, Mercy executive vice president and chief operating officer. “Patients get the same great care they have come to expect from Mercy with a bonus, knowing if there are any suspected abnormalities, even outside of the original imaging study’s purpose, they will be notified.”

In a phased rollout now through February, Mercy is launching Aidoc’s aiOS™ platform, which enables a comprehensive additional review of most diagnostic imaging to identify a wide range of suspected conditions, including brain hemorrhage, pulmonary embolism, cervical spine fracture and lung nodules. The platform also flags possible incidental findings, such as vascular abnormalities, enhancing its ability to provide a holistic assessment. By delivering real-time insights, Aidoc and the aiOS™ platform helps care teams prioritize urgent cases and facilitate timely intervention, while providing an extra value to patients as there will be no additional cost for this service.
