Problem the AI is intended to solve

Rapid is a software package that provides the visualization and study of changes in tissue using digital images captured by diagnostic imaging systems including CT (Computed Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Image Resonance), as an aid to physician diagnosis. Rapid AI is designed to streamline medical image processing tasks that are time consuming and tiring in routine patient workups.

Expected benefits
