Purpose-Built for Medical Imaging Research De-Identification

Retrieve Your Imaging Data

Research Assistant connects to your PACS and EMR to automatically retrieve and scale the imaging studies and radiology reports you need — pulling the right data so de-identification can begin without manual intervention.

De-identify Records Automatically

De-identify imaging studies and radiology reports automatically using turnkey or customized pathways. Choose standardized HIPAA Safe Harbor and NEMA-compliant algorithms, or define your own values and date-shifting logic for maximum flexibility.

Remove Burned-In PHI

Pixel scrubbing eliminates PHI embedded directly in image pixels — common in ultrasounds and other modalities. Medicom Research Assistant utilizes advanced pixel scrubbing technology that can be customized for different use cases ensuring consistent, repeatable sanitization at scale.

Sanitize Radiology Reports with NLP

In parallel with imaging, Research Assistant automatically retrieves and processes radiology report text through medical NLP algorithms that identify and mask every PHI element — returning sanitized reports stored alongside your de-identified DICOM files.

Powered by an Advanced & Compliant Foundation

Research Assistant is built on a foundation of security, quality control, and compliance to ensure the integrity and privacy of all data.

Advanced

De-Identification

Research Assistant uses NEMA profiles, NLP, and modality-specific pixel scrubbing for de-identification. Choose standardized turnkey profiles or define your own custom rules for consistent, repeatable results at scale.

Quality Control

Medicom flags data that fails quality benchmarks and routes exceptions for manual review, with configurable safeguards like DICOM SOP class exclusions ensuring only high-integrity data enters the workflow.

Granular Governance & Auditing

A comprehensive audit trail and granular permissioning ensure that all data access and use is secure, traceable, and compliant with your institution's governance policies.
