CitiusTech Healthcare Technology and Radical Imaging LLC are partnering to support projects built on the Open Health Imaging Foundation (OHIF) open-source web imaging platform.
OHIF was launched in 2015 through a development partnership between the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Radiology and Radical Imaging to create an open-source web-based medical imaging platform for the global community.
CitiusTech provides a scalable, zero-footprint image ingestion solution that enables seamless upload and support of imaging data, including DICOM and non-DICOM formats. The system can be customized to align with existing workflows and infrastructure.
“Before our partnership with CitiusTech, we struggled to find enough medical imaging software developers to staff the projects that were coming our way and it inhibited our growth as a company,” said Rob Lewis, CEO of Radical Imaging. "Now, we will be able to satisfy the staffing requirements that are necessary for us to take on the largest medical imaging software projects."
Funding for OHIF has been primarily through research grants to MGH, direct funding from the MGH Department of Radiology and its Precision Imaging Metrics clinical trials informatics project, Radical Imaging through in-kind support, and academic-industry technical collaborations among MGH, Radical, and companies using the OHIF Framework.
In 2023, Radical Imaging will be releasing its first commercial product, FlexView, a commercial version of OHIF.
CitiusTech sees OHIF-based projects as a key part of its growth strategy and will leverage Radical Imaging's OHIF expertise for its medical imaging projects and provide its clients with medical imaging software developers who are on the core team that developed and maintains OHIF.
With over 8,500 healthcare technology professionals worldwide, CitiusTech solutions are utilized by over 140 organizations.
