North Star Diagnostic Imaging, Civie partner to enhance imaging process

A closer look

Civie is an AI-powered ecosystem of radiology solutions that covers the entire patient and clinical journey, from exam ordering to image viewing, reporting and payment, the news release states. Because the technology does not rely on a third-party interface, there is no lag time in receiv- ing imaging orders or payments, according to an October news release.

“The technology is designed to optimize the delivery of imaging services right from start to nish,” CEO of Civie Dhruv Chopra said. According to a company news release, benets of the technology include: • Lower patient costs • Faster imaging results • Allowing providers to spend more time with patients

Through a new partnership with radiology software provider Civie, North Star Diagnostic Imaging added new technology to all 15 locations throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area in late 2025 that streamlines the imaging process for both patients and physicians. The unied Radiology Information System uses articial intelligence to reduce the administrative burden on physicians and provide a better experience for patients.

Chopra said this kind of technology has the potential to change the health care industry because of the level of transparency it provides for patients. “The patients are going to start demanding this level of service across the board, across their imaging centers,” Chopra said. “The days of backward imaging centers are not going to be there anymore. Patients are going to require a lot more transparency.”
