Elucid vs Siemens Healthineers AI-Rad Companion

Siemens delivers AI-Rad Companion as separate modules through its teamplay platform, with DICOM SR and PACS delivery. Chest CT reports lung nodules, aorta measurements, coronary calcium and heart volume, and the coronary calcium and heart volume outputs also appear in the FDA-cleared Cardiovascular module (K183268, updated in April 2023). A 2021 study of 117 low-dose CT patients found coronary calcium kappa of 0.846 and per-patient nodule sensitivity of 1 with specificity of 0.708. Organs RT, for radiotherapy contouring, has four FDA decisions, the latest in April 2026, and the Chest X-ray module is not for sale in the U.S. Elucid's PlaqueIQ quantifies and classifies coronary plaque, including non-calcified plaque and lipid-rich necrotic core, from images a physician sends in. A CT department that wants nodules, calcium and contouring from one teamplay deployment buys Siemens, and a cardiology group that wants plaque composition in the coronary report buys Elucid.
