Artificial intelligence (AI) software developer Lunit is making its chest imaging software available on x-ray systems from Philips Healthcare through a new partnership announced at the virtual ECR 2021.

Image courtesy of Lunit.South Korea-based Lunit noted that its Insight CXR AI software is helpful for real-time detection of 10 common findings on chest x-rays and enables triage of cases to focus on those with likely abnormalities. The company said that the software's accuracy rate is high, ranging from 97% to 99%.
Through the deal, the software will be incorporated into Philips' Radiography Unified User Interface, a digital platform across radiography systems, with availability to a large, global installed base.
Lunit's software has the CE Mark and is currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
![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.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
