5C Network

What is 5C Network?

5C Network is an AI-assisted teleradiology platform that reports radiology scans for hospitals and diagnostic centers. The company describes itself as operating India's largest teleradiology platform and combines its AI products with a network of radiologists who sign off on reports.

Key capabilities of 5C Network

• Bionic Vision: AI system that analyzes CT, MRI, X-ray and PET-CT scans
• Bionic Flow: Voice-to-report dictation tool for radiologists
• Bionic Inside: AI deployment on hospital hardware
• SecondRead: Independent second-opinion service for patients
• Multi-modality reporting: Covers CT, MRI, X-ray, PET-CT and nuclear medicine
• PACS/RIS integration: Connects through DICOM, with live deployment in about 72 hours and no hardware needed

How 5C Network works

A facility sends studies from its PACS or RIS over DICOM. The AI pre-analyzes the images, and a radiologist from the 400+ strong network reviews and issues the report, with the company citing a 30-minute average turnaround against a 24 to 48 hour industry norm. The company says its AI was trained on more than 4 billion clinical images and that it has reported over 20 million scans, with 20,000+ scans reported daily.

Who uses 5C Network?

Hospitals and diagnostic centers that lack round-the-clock radiologists use 5C Network to outsource reporting. The company says it serves 2,000+ healthcare facilities. Individual patients can also use SecondRead for an independent opinion on existing scans.

5C Network pricing

5C Network does not publish pricing on its site. It offers 10 free test cases so a facility can evaluate report quality and turnaround before committing, and commercial terms are arranged directly with the company.

5C Network alternatives

Alternatives in AI radiology and teleradiology include Aidoc for AI triage alerts, Qure.ai for AI chest and head imaging analysis, and Rad AI for report generation, each covering a different slice of the reading workflow.
