Nuance Communications, Inc. announced an expansion of its next-generation ambient AI capabilities for diagnostic imaging. The expanded capabilities will include enhanced AI-powered reporting features in the Nuance PowerScribe platform that will empower radiologists to create highly accurate reports in less time and with more clinically valuable structured data. With the Nuance PowerScribe platform, radiologists can focus on image interpretation instead of the mechanics of report creation.

In Nuance PowerScribe One today, Ambient Mode uses advanced AI running in the Microsoft Azure cloud to enable radiologists to dictate in a completely free-form, unstructured, and narrative manner while in the background ambient AI technologies create a fully structured report. At the same time, ambient AI analyzes the report text while it is dictated looking for common errors, and whether clinical guidelines apply, to help the radiologist create higher quality reports. Later this year, ambient AI capabilities will also include advanced Auto Impression functionality that will automatically turn report findings into generated impression sections and follow-up recommendations, creating even more efficiencies for radiologists.

PowerScribe Ambient Mode uses the same breakthrough deep learning technology that powers the Nuance® Dragon® Ambient eXperience™ (DAX™), a solution that captures multi-party patient encounters and automatically creates clinical documentation thereby reducing administrative burdens on clinicians while simultaneously improving patient experience. PowerScribe Ambient Mode delivers a high degree of AI accuracy because of Nuance's decades of radiology reporting experience and its highly secure and trusted stewardship of radiology data spanning thousands of radiologists' interpretation styles, enabling high performance and native integration into the PowerScribe workflow.
