Since 2016, contextflow has been developing next generation tools in close cooperation with globally recognised radiologists in order to manage their continually increasing workload and to improve patient care. contextflow uses deep learning based technology to analyse medical image data and connected facts, thereby supporting radiologists during their clinical routine with workflow oriented information search.
