Civie looks to enhance imaging locally

A closer look

The unied Radiology Information System uses articial intelligence to reduce the administrative burden on physicians and provide a better experience for patients. “The technology is designed to optimize the delivery of imaging services right from start to nish,” Civie CEO Dhruv Chopra said.

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.

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, a 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.

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. Other benets include lower patient costs and fast results, the release states. “The patients are going to start demanding this level of service across the board, across their imaging centers,” Chopra said.
