Claritas has developed iRAD™, an advanced proprietary image enhancement product that produces a significantly enhanced image while ensuring there is no alteration or degradation to the image.

iRAD™ integrates easily into radiologists’ existing PACS becoming part of the clinicians’ workflow, where enhanced images can be compared with the original image.

The image enhancement can be done locally on site (if required by the institution) or on the cloud, providing ease of access. The product provides physicians with adjustable controls to calibrate the degree of enhancement of each parameter.

iRAD™ addresses key challenges faced by the medical imaging industry, namely, the quality and clarity of radiology images. It enhances medical images to help radiologists in improved interpretation of MRI, CT and X-Ray images, thereby achieving correct diagnosis faster and alleviating bottlenecks. 

The iRAD™ image enhancement technology forms the foundation of the company’s product suite including its AI based predictive diagnostic solutions.
