AGFA HealthCare has reached a new deal with Alliance Medical to implement advanced cloud-based software across all of Alliance Medical’s U.K. sites.

Powered by the AGFA HealthCare Enterprise Imaging Platform, this approach supports Alliance Medical U.K.'s Future Unified Diagnostic Information System (FUDIS) project, which aims to streamline the entire patient pathway.

The software's deployment will begin later in 2024, with a phased implementation approach to transition all imaging services across 120 sites for all of Alliance Medical’s U.K. community diagnostic centers, static imaging sites for PET-CT, MRI, CT, and other imaging modalities, and its fleet of mobile, modular, and relocatable units.

The software includes the AGFA HealthCare Enterprise Imaging Platform, with shared workflow and the Xero Exchange Network. It allows for near-real-time access to images and delivers tools and features for diagnosis, collaboration, workflow, and more. It also has fully embedded AI and advanced visualization tools for molecular imaging that support complex clinical workflows.

Incorrect AI suggestions influence reader performance on mammography
By Amerigo Allegretto
The biggest impact on reader performance stemmed from false-negative AI suggestions.
July 14, 2026
A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.
