From Clinical Data to Research Breakthroughs

Medicom's Research Assistant is an automated, on-premise toolkit for PHI
removal that preserves longitudinal accuracy for research and machine learning.

Two Solutions to Power Your Research

Retrieve Your Imaging Data

Connect Research Assistant directly to your PACS and EMR to automatically retrieve the imaging studies and radiology reports you need. The right data is pulled for de-identification without any 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 in image pixels, common in ultrasounds and other modalities. Define modality-specific blackout zones, saved as reusable profiles and automatically applied to future matching images for consistent, repeatable sanitization at scale.

Sanitize Reports with NLP

Alongside imaging, Research Assistant 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 for DICOM metadata, NLP for radiology reports, and modality-specific blackout zones for burned-in PHI, all saved and automatically applied to future images for consistent de-identification at scale.

Quality Control

Medicom flags data that fails quality benchmarks and routes exceptions for manual review, with configurable safeguards including exclusion of DICOM SOP classes prone to burned-in PHI, 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.
