AZmed Connects X-ray AI Findings to Coordinated Care Through RapidAI

PARIS, October 27, 2026 — AZmed, one of the leading AI companies in medical imaging, today announced that its FDA-cleared AZtrauma and AZchest X-ray AI applications are available through RapidAI, a global leader in enterprise clinical AI, via the Rapid Enterprise Platform. The applications join a portfolio of 50+ clinical solutions that support radiologists and care teams across the patient journey, bringing AZmed’s X-ray analysis capabilities into a connected platform used by more than 2,500 hospitals. X-ray findings can shape urgent decisions about treatment and follow-up, making timely interpretation and communication essential. AI can help radiologists identify suspected abnormalities and prioritize exams for review, while a shared clinical platform makes those insights accessible to the care teams acting on them. This connects support for the radiologist’s read with the coordination needed for next steps in care. In the U.S., AZtrauma detects fractures, joint effusions and dislocations on musculoskeletal X-rays across adult and pediatric (ages ≥ 2) populations. AZchest covers five findings on frontal chest X-rays: lung nodules, consolidation, pneumothorax, pleural effusion and increased cardiothoracic ratio, with triage and notification for pneumothorax and pleural effusion. The integration gives teams a consistent way to access and act on AI findings across clinical specialties, reducing the need to navigate separate AI tools. Radiologists receive AZmed results and worklist prioritization through Rapid Navigator Pro, while emergency physicians and orthopedic teams access results through the Rapid Mobile App, giving them shared clinical context to coordinate next steps. For health systems, a single IT deployment simplifies adding and managing AZmed’s applications alongside RapidAI solutions. Rapid Edge Cloud provides resilient infrastructure, while Rapid Insights gives health systems centralized visibility into AI program utilization and performance to support oversight as they expand their use of clinical AI. “AZtrauma and AZchest are built to fit the way a radiology department already works, not to add another screen to it,” said Julien VIDAL, CEO of AZmed. “Through the Rapid Enterprise Platform, radiologists read with our results in the same place as the rest of their AI, and the emergency and orthopedic teams act on those same findings.” The collaboration advances AZmed’s expansion in the U.S., making its FDA-cleared X-ray AI available to health systems through RapidAI’s established clinical network.

Optellum and RapidAI Bring AI-Supported Lung Nodule Management to the Rapid Enterprise™ Platform

OXFORD, United Kingdom and HOUSTON, October 20, 2026 — Optellum, the leader in AI-enabled lung cancer diagnostics, today announced that its Virtual Nodule Clinic (VNC) with Lung Cancer Prediction (LCP) AI is integrated with the Rapid Enterprise™ Platform from RapidAI, a global leader in enterprise clinical AI. VNC joins a portfolio of 50+ RapidAI-developed and third-party clinical solutions that support radiologists and care teams across the patient journey, extending the platform's oncology coverage to the lung nodule pathway. RapidAI technology is used in more than 2,500 hospitals across 100+ countries. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in the United States and worldwide.1 Many lung nodules are found incidentally on CT scans performed for other reasons, and 60% are lost to follow-up2. Without a clear path to follow-up, the opportunity for earlier diagnosis can be missed. Optellum VNC includes Patient Discovery AI, which automatically searches radiology reports for documented lung nodules and identifies patients for review. VNC’s workflow management tools support patient tracking and follow-up, and LCP AI analyzes CT images to assess a nodule's cancer risk. Together, these capabilities help care teams prioritize patients and reduce the risk of patients being lost to follow-up. VNC with LCP AI is the world's first FDA-cleared and Medicare-reimbursed AI solution for image-based lung cancer risk stratification, reimbursed under named CPT 0721T/+0722T. Optellum is directly deployed at hundreds of clinical sites and has analyzed over 3 million cases to date. Integration with the Rapid Enterprise Platform will help accelerate that footprint, bringing Optellum’s capabilities to more care teams. Through the integration, pulmonologists and clinic managers can access Optellum's capabilities as part of a connected enterprise platform. Health systems can deploy Optellum on their existing RapidAI platform through a single IT deployment, supported by consistent clinical workflows, best-in-class clinical solutions, and shared AI governance capabilities that provide a central place to monitor performance and oversee AI use. "Our collaboration with RapidAI makes Virtual Nodule Clinic available to the many health systems that already rely on the Rapid Enterprise Platform," said Johnathan Watkins, PhD, CEO of Optellum. "Integrating VNC into the Rapid platform expands access, streamlines IT deployment, and accelerates putting clinically validated solutions in the hands of care teams. Together, we can help more patients with lung nodules get the right care sooner." The solutions support clinical decision-making, with qualified clinicians responsible for interpreting results and determining appropriate patient care.
