Vestre Viken faced mounting diagnostic workloads from rising imaging volumes, an aging population, and increasing case complexity, while radiologists were under pressure to deliver timely, accurate reports without compromising quality of care.
Reported impact
The integrated AI workflow standardized trauma imaging across four hospitals, shortened wait times, reduced unnecessary emergency consultations, freed physician capacity, improved radiologist sensitivity, and gave frontline clinicians faster access to decision support for patient triage.
Vestre Viken implemented an AI-enabled radiology workflow by integrating Philips AI Manager with its existing Philips Vue PACS and Philips Radiology Information System (RIS) across all four hospitals. Imaging studies, especially trauma X-rays, remain in the established RIS-PACS environment, while AI Manager acts as the central orchestration layer that connects, deploys, monitors, and governs multiple AI applications. The first production algorithm was Gleamer's BoneView, which analyzes X-rays for fractures, effusions, bone lesions, and dislocations. AI-generated findings are delivered directly into the radiologist's primary reading environment instead of a separate tool, reducing context switching and supporting faster diagnosis. The same integrated workflow also exposes preliminary AI findings to emergency and orthopedic teams, enabling 24/7 standardized triage, consistent quality across sites, and centralized governance aligned with European medical device standards.
Trauma X-ray studies move through Vestre Viken's existing RIS-PACS workflow, where Philips AI Manager orchestrates Gleamer's BoneView on the images. BoneView generates findings that are injected back into Philips Vue PACS and RIS, allowing radiologists, emergency teams, and orthopedic teams to review AI-supported results in their normal reading and triage workflow.
"13,800 emergency consultations prevented"
"3,100 physician hours freed up — equivalent to 1.9 full-time clinical roles"
"594 days of waiting time saved"
"Local validation at Vestre Viken showed AI accuracy ~91% (radiologists 95%); with AI assistance, radiologist sensitivity increased from 93% to 98%"
"Since going live with the Gleamer BoneView Application in August 2023, 74,000 patients have been examined with AI support"
"The first solution deployed was Gleamer's BoneView, Norway's first AI tool in routine clinical use, trained to detect fractures, effusions, bone lesions and dislocations on X-rays of patients over two years old."
"Through deep integration with Philips Vue PACS and Philips Radiology Information System (RIS), AI Manager delivers AI-generated insights directly into the radiologist's primary reading environment."
"Vestre Viken Hospital Trust implemented an AI-enabled radiology workflow by integrating Philips AI Manager with existing Philips Vue PACS and RIS."
