Radiology Service — AI Integration

Status: populated Owner: TBD Last updated: 2026-04-18 Companion: Service Template · 03 platform-services · 02 DDD


1. Current AI Usage

The radiology-service does not directly invoke any AI/ML model in its baseline. No vendor AI SDKs are used. Per platform policy, any future assistive AI features must route through ai-gateway-service via Kong /v1/ai/*.


2. Planned / Future AI Features (Tier B — Assistive)

FeaturePurposePrompt templateHITLStatus
Radiology report summaryAuto-draft a plain-language summary for referring clinicianrad.report.summarize.v1Yes — radiologist must review before filingNot implemented
Critical finding detection assistHighlight potential critical patterns for radiologist reviewrad.finding.critical-assist.v1Yes — radiologist makes final determinationNot implemented
Structured report extractionExtract structured data fields from narrative report textrad.report.extract-structured.v1YesNot implemented

3. Moderation Policy

  • AI outputs are suggestions only; never auto-filed.
  • PHI in prompts is scoped to minimum-necessary fields (report text only, not full patient record).
  • AIProvenance metadata recorded when radiologist accepts an AI-assisted draft.

4. Rationale

Radiology AI (CADe/CADx) is typically embedded in the PACS or modality vendor. The EHR-level AI assist is supplementary workflow tooling, not a diagnostic AI. Primary diagnostic AI is out of scope for the platform baseline.
