Application Logic
Description
- Mobile X-rays are moved to the patient and a scan is performed from the patient’s bedside.
- Original images have inconsistent quality with high image noise and are challenging to diagnose.
Description
- 5G connectivity fulfils requirements for high bandwidth and low latency to help deliver mass amounts of data for on-device processing.
Description
- Actionable insights:
- AI reconstruction of images from X-rays reduces noise and achieves clearer images
- Embedded AI on X-ray device highlights suspicious findings within seconds
Expected benefits
- Increased productivity by enabling shorter scan times anywhere
- Automatically detect anomalies
- Deliver consistent results and eliminate rescans/scanning inefficiencies
Key value created
- Faster and increased efficiency from improved diagnosis accuracy
