AI-powered translation turns complex medical impressions into clear, patient-friendly language
85% of patients are confused by their radiology reports.1
50% of follow-up recommendations are never completed.2
ImpressionAssist fixes both.
Radiology Impression:
"1.5 cm spiculated pulmonary nodule in the RUL concerning for primary adenocarcinoma. Recommend PET-CT for metabolic characterization and tissue sampling for histopathologic confirmation. Additionally, 6mm left lower lobe nodule identified, recommend follow-up CT chest in 12 months per Fleischner Society guidelines."
Patient-Friendly Version:
"We found a small spot (about the size of a marble) in your right lung that needs further evaluation. Your doctor will likely order a special scan and possibly a small tissue sample to determine exactly what it is. We also found a tiny spot in a different part of your lung that we'll want to recheck in about a year with another scan."
Buried in Impression:
"...recommend PET-CT for metabolic characterization and tissue sampling for histopathologic confirmation. Additionally, 6mm left lower lobe nodule, recommend follow-up CT chest in 12 months per Fleischner criteria. Scattered hepatic hypodensities too small to characterize, consider MRI abdomen if clinically indicated..."

Research reveals critical gaps in radiology communication
Patients can't understand their reports
Critical recommendations fall through the cracks
Research published in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology found that most patients are confused when reading their radiology reports. Meanwhile, studies show that half of all radiology follow-up recommendations are never completed - leading to delayed diagnoses, patient harm, and significant lost revenue. ImpressionAssist solves both problems with a single keystroke.Sources: Hee B, et al. Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology (2025); Annals of Emergency Medicine

I've been reading radiology studies for over 25 years. I had no idea that 85% of patients were confused by my reports, or that 50% of my follow-up recommendations never happen. And, honestly, if I did, I'm not sure what I could've done about it. Until now.
ImpressionAssist uses artificial intelligence to convert my confusing impressions into patient-friendly language.
I've added an "Action Items" line to make it easier for referrers and patients to know what I want them to do moving forward.
A friend of mine had an MRI that mentioned a "pleomorphic adenoma versus Warthin's tumor" in his parotid gland. He's a smart guy. He called me panicked because he couldn't tell if he was fine or had cancer. My goal is to make sure this doesn't happen again.
