Radiology foundation model launched and more briefs

Harrison.ai has launched Harrison.Rad 1.5, a radiology foundation model. The model uses imaging and clinical context to draft reports for radiologist review. This is an updated version of the company's earlier radiology AI tool.

The model is designed to assist radiologists by generating draft reports, which are then reviewed and finalized by human experts. Harrison.ai claims the model improves efficiency and reduces turnaround times for radiology reports. The company did not provide specific performance metrics or deployment numbers in the announcement.

The launch reflects ongoing efforts to integrate AI into medical imaging workflows. Similar tools have been developed by other companies, though radiology foundation models remain a relatively new category. The technology is positioned as a productivity aid rather than a replacement for radiologists, who still bear final responsibility for diagnoses.
