What is contextflow?

contextflow is an AI-powered software solution designed for radiology to assist physicians in interpreting medical imaging data. The application primarily focuses on the analysis of computed tomography (CT) scans and X-rays of the chest (thorax). Powered by deep learning, the system automatically detects abnormal patterns and tissue changes in lung tissue.

Its core search feature, SEARCH&FIND, enables radiologists to locate visually similar reference cases within seconds. Beyond image comparison, the software provides relevant differential diagnoses and direct links to medical literature. This significantly speeds up the reporting process while increasing diagnostic confidence in complex or rare clinical presentations.

contextflow integrates seamlessly into existing hospital PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) and RIS environments. This ensures that medical professionals can leverage AI insights without leaving their familiar workflow tools. The system acts as a digital second opinion, reducing workload for radiological staff in daily routines.

Core features & strengths

  • Pattern Detection & Quantitative Analysis — Automatically identifies and quantifies pathological patterns in chest CTs, such as pulmonary nodules, emphysema, or infiltrates. Results are visualized directly on the image scans.
  • SEARCH&FIND Reference Database — Searches an extensive medical database for visually and clinically similar image regions. Radiologists instantly receive comparable cases along with verified diagnoses.
  • Seamless PACS Integration — Interoperates directly with standard image archiving systems without breaking the clinical workflow. Analysis results are accessible immediately within the viewer.

Who is this tool for?

Radiologists, radiological technologists, and clinical imaging departments in hospitals and outpatient diagnostic centers.

Typical use case

A radiologist is evaluating a chest CT containing ambiguous lung opacities. Using contextflow, they highlight the region of interest and immediately receive visually matching cases from the database along with statistical probabilities and literature links. This assists them in rapidly narrowing down rare pulmonary conditions and delivering an accurate report.
