Our Secure Data VNA System
Lungscreen has invested in a state-of-the-art Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) hosted on Microsoft Azure Servers based in Australia.
Microsoft Azure is endorsed by the Australian Federal Government due to its security protocols. This ensures that all data is secure in line with Australia’s privacy policies.
Furthermore, Lungscreen’s VNA is scalable, providing the capacity required to support further demand.
Our Reporting Software
Lungscreen has developed its own cloud-based reporting software.
This software gives radiologists access to template reporting and ensures all radiologists follow the same process. It also enables radiologists to access cases securely on the cloud and report anytime and from home.
All radiologists are provided with a high-resolution, fully secure workstation supplied and managed by Lungscreen’s IT personnel. This ensures high quality and compliance with recommendation and accreditation standards.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Lungscreen utilises Artificial Intelligence technology to increase the sensitivity and accuracy of our reporting.
All cases are reviewed by AI and presented to our radiologists for reporting.
The AI is used as a tool to assist in the detection and description of lesions where needed.
In addition, all other incidental findings—including vascular and heart pathologies—are reported for clinical review.
