Three Paths to Efficient AI Reporting
AlemHealth Connect provides three distinct workflows to leverage the power of AI in your radiology reports, ensuring you can choose the method that best suits your practice:
- View & Report with Automated DICOM Uploads: Experience a truly hands-off approach, where imaging studies are automatically sent directly to your worklist.
- Upload DICOM Files Manually & Report in Our Viewer: A straightforward solution for manually uploading studies and utilizing AlemHealth's integrated DICOM viewer.
- Generate Report in AlemHealth Using Your Own Viewer: Maintain your preferred local DICOM viewer for image interpretation while benefiting from AlemHealth's advanced AI reporting capabilities.
You can easily select your preferred workflow when you begin and switch methods at any time to adapt to evolving needs.
1. View & Report with Automated DICOM Uploads: The Seamless Solution
This workflow is designed for facilities and radiologists seeking to establish a completely automated connection between their imaging modalities and the AlemHealth Connect platform. By deploying our specialized hardware and software, studies flow directly into your worklist without any manual intervention.
How it Works:
This automated process relies on the following key components:
-
AlemBox: A plug-and-play gateway device deployed at your facility. It securely captures DICOM studies from your MRI, CT, X-ray, or any other modality and efficiently transmits them to AlemHealth Connect. The AlemBox is optimized for performance, featuring robust data compression and the ability to operate effectively in low-bandwidth environments.
-
AlemHub: For larger organizations with multiple locations or high study volumes, the AlemHub serves as a central server. It intelligently aggregates studies from multiple AlemBoxes, managing the data flow and providing a centralized point of control and queuing for your team of radiologists.
-
Windows Connect: This software application installs on a Windows computer at your facility, transforming it into a DICOM listener. Modalities on your network can then send studies directly to this computer, which in turn securely uploads them to AlemHealth Connect.

2. Upload DICOM Files Manually & Report in Our Viewer: Direct & Flexible
This is the most direct way to begin reporting on studies within AlemHealth Connect. It allows you to conveniently upload DICOM files from your computer via your web browser and utilize the integrated AlemHealth DICOM Viewer for comprehensive image analysis and AI-powered report generation.
Who is this for?
This option is perfect for users who:
- Receive studies on physical media such as CDs, DVDs, or USB drives.
- Have individual DICOM files saved directly on their computer.
- Need to report on a limited number of external studies or on a case-by-case basis.
Steps to Manually Upload and Report:
- From the AlemHealth Connect dashboard, click “Add Study”.
-
Select "Upload DICOM Files or DICOMDIR".
Note: You will be prompted to select the folder containing your DICOM files.
It is highly recommended to select the folder that includes the DICOMDIR file for optimal study organization and integrity.
- Once the files are selected, the upload process will begin.
- After the upload is complete, the study will seamlessly appear in your worklist. You can then open it in the powerful AlemHealth DICOM Viewer to commence your image analysis and leverage the AI-powered reporting tools.
3. Generate Report in AlemHealth Using Your Own Viewer: Integrated Expertise
This workflow offers unparalleled flexibility, enabling you to continue using your preferred local PACS or DICOM viewer (e.g., RadiAnt, OsiriX) for image interpretation while seamlessly integrating with the advanced reporting capabilities of AlemHealth Connect.
How it Works:
With this method, you will view the study images on your familiar local software, utilizing AlemHealth Connect as your dedicated reporting cockpit. This is particularly advantageous for radiologists who have a customized viewing environment they are comfortable with but wish to harness our innovative AI dictation, customizable report templates, and automated report generation features.
Steps to Report with Your Own Viewer:
- From the AlemHealth Connect dashboard, click “Add Study”.
- Toggle the button on the right to indicate you're not uploading images.
- Enter all necessary details on the page, all fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory.
Note: You can then open the patient's study in your separate, preferred DICOM viewer.
-
As you interpret the images in your viewer, you can easily dictate your findings or type them into the AlemHealth Connect reporting window.
-
Utilize the integrated AI assistant to intelligently structure your report, apply relevant templates, auto-fill normal structures, insert pertinent details, and ensure all necessary elements are included for a comprehensive report. The AI-generated content will be highlighted for your easy review and editing.

By intelligently separating the image viewing and reporting processes, this workflow allows you to streamline your operations and benefit from the best of both worlds: your accustomed viewer and our intelligent, AI-driven reporting tools.
