Diagnostic Workflow

Book MRI or CT imaging for low back pain with leg weakness without front-desk delays

An AI receptionist that identifies patients reporting leg weakness, recognizes imaging urgency, and immediately books advanced imaging (MRI, CT) or schedules urgent neurosurgery consultation—eliminating front-desk bottlenecks.

How it pays back

Eliminate imaging bottlenecks caused by front-desk phone volume

When a patient reports leg weakness, the AI automatically identifies imaging need and books the next available slot—no waiting for staff to call the imaging center or patient to call back.

Reduce diagnostic delay for nerve compression

MRI or CT imaging is scheduled before the initial provider visit if red flags are present, so imaging is ready for review at the appointment.

Structured imaging indication for radiologist review

The AI records the clinical presentation (leg weakness, dermatomal pattern, onset) and delivers it as a structured summary for your clinical staff to review and include in the imaging order.

Imaging booked on the call

Patients with leg weakness get urgent imaging slots without follow-up calls

Indication captured for radiologist

Clinical context (leg weakness, progressive symptoms) included in structured handoff

Named EMR integrations

Imaging appointment synced to patient record via athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know to book urgent imaging for leg weakness?

The AI is configured with clinical routing logic: leg weakness plus unilateral radiation below the knee triggers immediate offer of urgent imaging availability. Your practice defines the urgency thresholds and the AI routes accordingly.

What if imaging is not available same-day?

The AI offers the soonest available slot and explains the wait to the patient. If urgent, the AI escalates to clinical staff for expedited scheduling or alternative imaging site.

Can the AI coordinate with an external imaging center?

Yes. If your practice contracts with an imaging center, the AI can check their availability, book directly, and send confirmation. If on-site, the AI books in your scheduling system.

Does the imaging indication automatically appear on the radiologist's report?

The AI captures the clinical indication (e.g., 'acute leg weakness, L5 distribution, progressive over 3 days') and delivers it as a structured summary to your imaging coordinator or clinical staff. Your team reviews and enters it into the radiology order—the AI does not write directly to the radiologist's report.
