The collaboration with VIDI builds on a track record of successful implementations across the network,with multiple VIDI members adopting Lunit INSIGHT MMG since 2021. Dr. François Pey from Coradix in Perpignan noted the solution's high specificity and advanced deployment capabilities,stating,"Lunit INSIGHT MMG is the ideal companion for radiologists,providing confidence by ensuring nothing is missed without increasing false positives. It allows us to reduce the need for additional spot views and certain ultrasounds."

VIDI's decision to formalize its relationship with Lunit,following several successful real-life deployments,was announced at JFR 2024. Through this agreement,Lunit INSIGHT MMG will be listed as a recommended solution for all VIDI members,simplifying access and furthering VIDI's commitment to innovative healthcare solutions.

Amélie Libessart,Managing Director of VIDI,commented on the partnership: "I'm delighted with this partnership,which is part of VIDI's strategy to encourage the early adoption of innovative solutions that have been previously tested by members of the network for the comfort they provide to doctors and the improvement in diagnostics and care they enable. In a context where waiting times are a major public health issue,streamlining the patient journey using AI makes perfect sense."

"With more than 60,000 new cases of breast cancer in mainland France in 2023,making it the leading cancer in women in both incidence and mortality,the need for AI to support early detection and diagnosis has never been greater," said Brandon Suh,CEO of Lunit. "By combining VIDI's extensive network and commitment to medical excellence,we are confident that Lunit INSIGHT MMG will become an indispensable ally in the fight against breast cancer,enabling radiologists to see what would otherwise be missed and,ultimately,to save more lives."

Through this partnership,Lunit aims to accelerate its footprint in the French market while also exploring broader collaboration opportunities with VIDI in education,communication,and product development,fostering further innovation in radiology.
