Innovative AI healthcare companies are boasting their technologies at the 77th Korean Congress of Radiology 2021 (KCR 2021), offering a chance to experience AI solutions on-site and presenting how radiologists can use those solutions.

KCR is one of the leading radiology conferences in Asia hosted by the Korean Society of Radiology.

The event kicked off under the theme “Leading Patient-centered Digital Healthcare” on Wednesday and will run through Saturday at COEX, southern Seoul.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, KCR 2021 is held as online-offline hybrid meetings where leading local radiologists and over 40 prominent scholars from around 10 countries participate. In addition, Korean AI healthcare companies such as VUNO, Lunit, Medical IP, Coreline Soft, and Selvas AI showcased their AI solutions at the event.

VUNO exhibited six solutions – VUNO Med-Deep ASR, VUNO Med-BoneAge, VUNO Med-Chest X-ray, VUNO Med-Deep Brain, VUNO Med-Deep Brain AD, and VUNO Med-LungCT AI. In addition, the company installed an exhibition booth to help doctors experience VUNO Med-Deep ASR. This AI-based medical voice recognition software can write medical records in real-time.

On Friday, Hong Eun-kyeong, a radiologist at VUNO, will present the latest research results of VUNO Med solutions at the AI Stage, under the topic, “VUNO, Redefining Radiology.”

Lunit will display Lunit Insight CXR, an AI software for diagnosing lung diseases, and Lunit Insight MMG, an AI software for diagnosing breast cancer, at a booth run together with Dongkook Lifescience, its distribution partner.

Radiologists can directly check how each software reads lung X-ray and mammography images.

On Friday, Lunit and Dongkook Lifescience will hold a joint luncheon symposium on “guidance to choosing the right AI solution for radiology.”

Hugh Harvey, an experienced British radiologist, will share information about Europe’s ÉCLAIR Guideline on AI solutions and how Lunit’s AI solutions were used in local patient care and related feedback.

Coreline Soft also operates a booth to provide an experience of its AI solution and introduces the company’s technology to radiologists at a presentation on the AI Stage.

The company is showcasing lung CT AI solution AVIEW LCS, lung image analysis automation software AVIEW COPD, and interstitial lung disease (ILD) quantitative analysis solution AVIEW Lung Texture.

At the AI Stage presentation on Friday, Jang Yong-chin, a researcher at Coreline Soft’s AI & Imaging Process Development Team, will introduce AVIEW LCS Plus AI application cases and results, under the theme, “AI solution with low-dose lung CT for diagnosing three major smoking-related diseases -- lung cancer, emphysema, and heart disease.”

Medical IP is displaying systemic CT-based AI body composition analysis software DeepCatch and X-ray quantification and treatment monitoring platform TiSepX.

DeepCatch is an AI healthcare solution providing body composition values by analyzing CT scans. It is used for CT analysis research on diseases related to changes in body composition, such as cancer, surgical prognosis, metabolic syndrome, sarcopenia, and osteoporosis. In addition, TiSepX helps radiologists obtain 3D information in X-rays similar to CT scans to check the lesion reduction and treatment progress.

The company also introduces 3D healthcare solutions such as medical image 3D modeling and AI analysis software MEDIP and medical image-based 3D printing solution ANATDEL.

Selvas AI installed an offline booth to offer an opportunity to experience its AI medical voice recognition solution Selvy MediVoice at COEX, southern Seoul.

Selvas AI is promoting Selvy MediVoice, an AI voice recognition solution, by installing it in a booth at the event.

Selvy MediVoice is equipped with voice recognition technology, allowing doctors to write medical records in real-time during the medical image reading process.

“Rather than typing on the keyboard to write reading results, holding a microphone in one hand and inputting the audio while watching the video was more convenient, and the reading speed was over three times faster,” said a radiologist who used Selvy MediVoice.
