The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Ambra Health intelerad now owns Ambra and ambrahealth.com redirects to Intelerad client support, so a buyer is committing to the Intelerad portfolio roadmap and should get written positioning on Ambra versus Intelerad own cloud PACS before signing.; Annalise.ai the United States cleared indication covers roughly ten findings for triage and notification, far fewer than the model reports, so a buyer who evaluates the full multi-finding output and then contracts in the United States gets a much narrower cleared use.
  • They diverge on capability: Ambra Health covers Image exchange, Annalise.ai covers Annalise Enterprise CXR.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Ambra Health

  • A trauma centre that receives transfers from regional hospitals and needs outside CT studies readable before the patient arrives, not after a disc is walked innot Annalise.ai
  • An oncology programme collecting outside imaging for multidisciplinary tumour board review from dozens of referring practicesnot Annalise.ai
  • A clinical research organisation routing de identified trial imaging from many sites to one central reading facilitynot Annalise.ai
  • A health system trying to eliminate the CD import desk by giving patients and referring practices a direct upload portalnot Annalise.ai

Annalise.ai

  • An emergency department wanting pneumothorax and intracranial haemorrhage pushed to the front of the reading queue overnight when cover is thinnestnot Ambra Health
  • A teleradiology provider covering many small hospitals that needs consistent triage before a human readsnot Ambra Health
  • A screening programme in Europe where the broader CE marked decision support indication, rather than the narrow United States triage clearance, is what is being deployednot Ambra Health
  • A radiology department building an AI governance programme that wants one vendor covering both chest radiograph and head CT rather than contracting two separate algorithm suppliersnot Ambra Health

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Ambra Health

  • Intelerad now owns Ambra and ambrahealth.com redirects to Intelerad client support, so a buyer is committing to the Intelerad portfolio roadmap and should get written positioning on Ambra versus Intelerad own cloud PACS before signing.
  • Ambra is built for cross organisation exchange, not for high volume in department diagnostic reading, so a radiology group that expects it to replace a departmental PACS finds the reading ergonomics and hanging protocols thinner than a dedicated PACS client.
  • Pricing scales with study volume and stored capacity, so a health system that turns on patient upload broadly sees storage grow from low value outside studies it never intended to retain, and the renewal reflects that.
  • Identity reconciliation of studies arriving with foreign patient identifiers still needs human review at volume, and sites that budget for zero touch matching end up staffing an imaging records queue.
  • Adoption depends on referring practices actually using the portal, and the vendor cannot make that happen, so image exchange projects frequently stall at the outreach and change management step rather than at the technology.

Annalise.ai

  • The United States cleared indication covers roughly ten findings for triage and notification, far fewer than the model reports, so a buyer who evaluates the full multi-finding output and then contracts in the United States gets a much narrower cleared use.
  • Triage AI reprioritises a worklist but does not change clinical decisions on its own, so departments that do not redesign how urgent studies are picked up see no measurable improvement in time to treatment.
  • Published validation is largely reader study evidence on detection of individual findings; prospective evidence of shorter time to treatment in routine emergency care is thin.
  • The Annalise brand is being migrated under the Harrison.ai name for the critical care offering, which creates ambiguity in multi-year contracts about what product name is actually being supported.
  • A high finding count raises the alert burden, and departments report that low prevalence findings generate false positives that erode radiologist trust unless the alerting thresholds are tuned locally.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Ambra Health: Is Ambra Health still sold under its own name?

Yes. Intelerad still markets Ambra Health as a named product line, but the standalone website redirects to Intelerad, and support and contracting run through Intelerad.

Annalise.ai: How many findings are FDA cleared?

Around ten across chest X-ray and head CT, for triage and notification only. The model reports far more findings than that; the rest are not cleared in the United States.

Ambra Health: Can Ambra replace our PACS?

For image exchange, archiving and clinical viewing, yes. For high volume diagnostic radiology reading it is generally deployed alongside a departmental PACS rather than instead of one.

Annalise.ai: Is the European position different?

Yes. CE marking under the medical device regulation covers a broader decision support indication than the United States triage and notification clearances, so the same software is a different regulatory product depending on where you deploy it.

Ambra Health: Is pricing published?

No. It is quoted by annual study volume, stored capacity and the scope of exchange connections.

Annalise.ai: Does it diagnose?

No. In the United States it is a triage and notification device: it flags studies for earlier review, and the radiologist makes the diagnosis.

Ambra Health: Does the viewer require software on referring physician machines?

No. The viewer is zero footprint HTML5, which is the main reason referring practices adopt it at all.

Annalise.ai: Is Annalise.ai becoming Harrison.ai?

The critical care offering is now marketed under the Harrison.ai name. Ask the vendor to name the contracted product explicitly before signing a multi-year deal.
