REiLI

The year 1956 is the official date of birth of a new discipline, called Artificial Intelligence (AI), during a summer seminar held at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.

Artificial Intelligence has been described as “any task performed by a program or by a machine that, if a human being were to perform the same activity, we could say that the human should apply the intelligence to complete the task”.

The technological heritage of Fujifilm

Fujifilm has been working with images for over 80 years: Synapse 3D and PACS products of the Medical Informatics line can count on more than seventy technologies and 50 functional modules for Image Processing, continuously growing.At Fujifilm, we are continually innovating, creating new technologies, products and services that inspire and excite

people everywhere: our goal is to increase the potential and broaden the horizons of tomorrow’s businesses and lifestyles.Through this powerful technological heritage, we quickly and easily develop new solutions that meet the real needs of our global customers: REiLI is the new Fujifilm Artificial Intelligence solution.

REiLI TECHNOLOGY REVIEW 06

REiLI, which in Japanese means “intelligent and resourceful”, represents a new frontier in diagnostics and will improve medical care thanks to the collaboration between health professionals and Artificial Intelligence.The union of the technologies of Image Processing and Artificial Intelligence will allow to obtain an even more accurate diagnosis.

How do we imagine this innovation?

The merger of REiLI with PACS will support the workflow of diagnostic imaging by leveraging the combination of AI technology deep learning and our image processing assets.This synergy is based on three cornerstones: Region Segmentation (automatic identification of anatomical regions), CAD (Computer Aided Detection) and workflow support.

Region Segmentation: identification of the position, form and name of the organ.Fujifilm is developing a technology that segmentation and accurately and consistently extracts the organ region regardless of differences in shape, presence or absence of disease and image conditions.

CAD technology will use Artificial Intelligence to identify suspicious lesions or diseases occurring within the image and add quantitative numerical values. Fujifilm is developing a technology to reduce the time of the image interpretation procedure and thus support the clinical decision-making process of the radiologist.

Workflow Support: when images arrive at the PACS, REiLI reads them and, if through the Region Segmentation and the CAD, detects any anomalies, it can intervene in the radiological workflow through:• An automatic notification in the integrated chat in the

PACS• A modification of the examination priority in the PACS

worklist• The automatic population of the report

A platform also opens to third-party AI technologies

AI technologies from different manufacturers can work together to provide the best result for health improvement.Fujifilm has already taken the following actions:• Establishment of FUJIFILM AI Academy “BRAIN (S)”

in Tokyo for the development of the next generation of advanced Artificial Intelligence technology and to improve collaboration with academic institutions https://www.fujifilmholdings.com/en/news/2018/1001_01_01.html?_ga=2.242006338.1736897177.1538375777-1459402642.1525274230

• Stipulation of a research agreement with the Indiana University School of Medicine in the USA, to develop the application of Artificial Intelligence in medical imaging diagnostic support systems https://www.fujifilmusa.com/press/news/display_news?newsID=881479

• Partnership with the LPixel startup of the University of Tokyo for the development of AI for the support of diagnostic imaging using endoscopy systems http://www.fujifilm.com/news/n181029.html

Synapse 5 and REiLI

REiLI finds the perfect synergy with the Fujifilm PACS Synapse 5: the server-side-rendering technology and the centralized processing of Synapse 5 allow the easy application of the Artificial Intelligence technology within the normal workflow management tool to support of health professionals.This is where our revolution in Medical Imaging starts with the AI technology of REiLI.
