Under a new agreement, Blackford will integrate Oxipit’s chest x-ray algorithms into its enterprise AI platform.
Blackford provides healthcare professionals access to a portfolio of more than 100 radiology and operational AI applications designed to drive clinical efficiency and improve patient outcomes, the company said.
Under this partnership, Blackford’s platform will now include Oxpit’s Quality chest x-ray application, which can provide radiologists with a proactive “always on AI assistant” to act as a second reader and to flag potential missed findings, according to the vendor. The software analyzes medical images and radiologist reports to check for missed findings. If Quality detects a clinically significant finding not mentioned in the radiologist report, it flags the case and notifies the radiologist to take another look, according to Blackford.
![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&fit=crop&h=100&q=70&w=100)
