International Radiology Services
From Typing to Dictating. From Bottleneck to Double Output.
CASE STUDY
The situation
International Radiology Services runs a teleradiology operation across Ireland, receiving cases from clinics facing a widening radiologist shortage. Eight radiologists. Constant volume. No room to hire.
Their reporting workflow was costing them hours they didn't have. Every report meant opening a boiler-plate template, manually copying it, replacing normal findings with the patient's abnormalities, typing everything by hand, and pushing it into the system. No dictation. No automation. Just skilled doctors doing administrative work.
The bottleneck wasn't clinical capacity. It was documentation.
What we built — together
IRS didn't need a generic AI product dropped into their workflow. They needed something built around how they actually work.
They told us: we use templates, we know what normal looks like, we just need to replace the abnormal findings fast.
So that's exactly what we built. A web-based reporting tool — now available at reportrad.ai — developed alongside their team, purpose-built for their modalities and templates.
The workflow became:
Radiologist dictates only the abnormal findings — voice, not typing
The system suggests the most relevant template automatically
One click generates the completed report, pre-filled and ready
Review, edit if needed, export anywhere
The result
Roughly 2× daily report output across all modalities — within 30 days of going live.
Eight radiologists. Daily active users to this day.
Not a pilot. Not occasional use. Their primary reporting tool.
The shift from typing to dictation alone reclaimed significant time per report. Multiply that across eight doctors and a full day of cases, and the throughput difference becomes structural — not a marginal improvement, but a different operational ceiling.
What this means for teleradiology
Radiologist time is the scarcest resource in teleradiology. Every minute spent on documentation is a minute not spent reading the next study. Zyren doesn't replace radiologists — it removes the administrative weight so they can do more of what only they can do.
IRS now handles higher case volumes with the same team. That's not an efficiency gain. That's a capacity expansion without a hire.
