Radiology Partners (RP) – a leading radiology practice in the U.S. through its owned and affiliated practices – recently announced the launch of its RPX AI orchestration platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS). And RPX AI is RP’s AI orchestration and integration platform, and it utilizes AWS HealthImaging, a HIPAA-eligible service for storing, analyzing, and sharing medical images at petabyte scale.
RP chose AWS HealthImaging to advance its ability to seamlessly deploy a suite of AI tools across any reading platform, creating a highly accessible and adaptable solution for hospitals and health systems to deliver high-quality and technology-enabled care.
Medical imaging AI procurement and adoption has historically been fragmented. And hospitals and provider groups must often navigate a complex array of challenges, including legacy technologies, operational inefficiencies, data silos, and site-specific vendors. RP is now joining AWS to simplify the integration and implementation process for medical imaging AI models, making it easier to validate and deploy AI tools and accelerate their adoption across hospitals and health systems. And the goal is to enhance patient care by making these advanced technologies more accessible and efficient. Through its experience of deploying clinical AI across more than 20 million patient exams in this calendar year alone, RP is well-positioned to continue leading the way in clinical AI integration.
AWS offers the broadest and deepest set of AI and ML services and supporting cloud infrastructure – enabling a dynamic community of customers and partners to build the next generation of solutions for medical imaging. And RP selected AWS HealthImaging due to its ability to store, analyze, and share medical images in the cloud at an unmatched scale, while maintaining sub-second image retrieval latency, improving performance, and lowering costs. With a truly cloud-native solution, RP can expand its RPX platform to meet the mission-critical demands of the practice, its AI development partners, clients, and radiologists.
