MEDNAX Radiology Solutions will launch two new innovative programs – the “MEDNAX Radiology Artificial Intelligence Incubator” (MDR-AI) and “MEDNAX Radiology Centers of Excellence.” The AI Incubator program will bring together radiologists, a rich and diverse clinical dataset, and a growing ecosystem of partners to build future tools for radiology with the primary goal of improving patient care. Through a strong partnership between clinical and technical leadership as well as a key group of external partners with shared goals, the program will improve the overall quality of patient care by increasing radiologist’s accuracy and efficiency, ultimately impacting patient outcomes.

The MEDNAX Radiology Centers of Excellence program will initially be launched with cardiac imaging and will subsequently expand nationally, including other subspecialties.
