SMART Submit

If DICOM images are submitted to a clinical trial without a pre-submission image screening system in place, approximately 20% of queries are typically reopened. In some hospitals, the query rate jumps to 80%! These queries cost time and money — and take dollars from valuable research funds. Reduce your costs with pre-submission image screening AI technology, including custom, trial-specific acceptance criteria.

SMART Submit’s proprietary automated de-identification system involves three-levels of verification and is 48-fold more proficient at removing PHI than other DICOM transport solutions.The research site simply loads the original DICOM into the software application, enters the case trial identifiers, and SMART Submit handles the rest.

Improper de-identification of DICOM images can result in visible patient health information (PHI), which puts patient privacy at risk. SMART Submit uses over 150 rules to detect and rectify common issues in DICOM files, including the presence of PHI.

Our imaging experts perform a quality control (QC) for anomalous cases or for studies generated by new imaging equipment. As part of our image QC check, our team can save you time by querying the site directly to resolve any image issues or screen files for your specified acceptance criteria.
