Rad AI
- A private radiology practice whose read volume has grown faster than it can recruit and that wants dictation time per study reduced without changing PACSnot Figure 1
- A health system losing revenue and exposing itself to liability because recommended follow-up imaging on incidental findings is never bookednot Figure 1
- A radiology department standardising impression quality across a mixed group of employed and locum radiologistsnot Figure 1
- A group deploying an AI tool that must not trigger a device validation programme, because governance capacity is already consumed by a triage algorithm rolloutnot Figure 1
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Nothing recorded yet. See the Figure 1 review.
Rad AI
- The products are not FDA cleared devices and are not intended to be, so any claim that Rad AI improves diagnostic accuracy is unsupported; what has been measured is reporting speed and follow-up completion, not detection.
- Generated impressions require radiologist review and signature, so the time saving evaporates in any group whose radiologists rewrite the draft rather than edit it, and adoption varies sharply by individual.
- It is bound to your dictation platform, so a group planning to move off PowerScribe should sequence that decision first or expect to redo the Rad AI integration.
- Continuity depends on the quality of recommendation language in historical reports, and departments with inconsistent phrasing get poor recall until reporting practice is standardised.
- Pricing is not published and is structured per radiologist or per study depending on the product mix, which makes it hard to compare against image-analysis AI vendors that price per scan.

Questions people ask
- Is Figure 1 or Rad AI better?
- Neither clearly leads. Figure 1 starts at Free and Rad AI at On request, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
- Which is cheaper, Figure 1 or Rad AI?
- Figure 1 has a free tier; the other does not. Paid plans start at Free for Figure 1 and On request for Rad AI.
- Does Figure 1 or Rad AI run on more platforms?
- Figure 1 runs on Web, Mobile. Rad AI runs on Windows, Web, Cloud.
- Can I use Figure 1 for free?
- Yes. Figure 1 has a free tier, so you can try it without paying. Rad AI starts at On request.
- What is Figure 1 best used for?
- Figure 1 is most often used for patient care, medical records, practice management, telehealth. Of those, patient care and medical records are not what Rad AI is typically brought in for.
- What can Figure 1 do that Rad AI cannot?
- Figure 1 covers Case Sharing, Secure Messaging, Image Upload, Knowledge Discovery. Rad AI covers Impressions, Reporting, Continuity, Style learning.
Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Rad AI: Is Rad AI FDA cleared?
No, and by design. The products draft text and manage follow-up workflow rather than interpreting images, so they fall outside the device pathway. Treat any diagnostic accuracy claim with scepticism.
Rad AI: Does the radiologist still sign the report?
Yes. Output is a draft that the radiologist reviews and signs; nothing is released autonomously.
Rad AI: Which product actually pays for itself?
Continuity has the clearest financial case, because recommended follow-up imaging that gets completed is billable work that currently does not happen.
Rad AI: Will it work with our dictation system?
It is deepest with Nuance PowerScribe. Confirm your specific dictation and PACS combination before contracting, because integration depth is the main deployment variable.
