Volpara Live
Real-time AI feedback on positioning and compression to improve mammography image quality and reduce technologist variability.
Overview
Volpara Live is an AI-powered mammography tool designed to deliver real-time, exam-specific feedback to radiologic technologists at the point of care. Developed by Lunit, it empowers imaging teams to optimize positioning and compression during each mammogram, improving image quality, reducing variability across staff, and building greater patient confidence in the care experience.
By providing immediate, objective quality assessment powered by AI and TruPGMI® scores, Volpara Live supports continuous on-the-job learning without requiring technologists to wait for audits or retrospective reviews. It is suited for mammography facilities seeking to elevate imaging standards and foster consistent, high-quality outcomes across their entire team.
Core Capabilities
- Delivers exam-specific feedback on positioning and compression during each mammogram, enabling immediate on-the-job adjustments.
- Provides objective image quality assessment using AI and TruPGMI® scores to support continuous skill development.
- Reduces variability from one technologist to another by reinforcing consistent imaging standards across the team.
- Supports real-time quality assurance that demonstrates a facility's commitment to excellence, helping to build patient trust and confidence.
Technologist Growth and Team Alignment
- Continuous skill development: On-the-job feedback helps technologists refine their technique in real time, eliminating the need to wait for periodic audits or retrospective performance reviews.
- Consistent imaging outcomes: Volpara Live reinforces imaging standards system-wide, minimizing variation between individual technologists and supporting uniform quality across the facility.
- Stronger patient-provider trust: Visible, real-time quality assurance tools signal to patients that the care team prioritizes excellence, enhancing confidence in the overall care experience.
- New technologist training: The immediate feedback loop makes Volpara Live particularly valuable for onboarding and training new staff members.
How Volpara Live Compares to Volpara Analytics
- Volpara Live provides image quality feedback during the mammogram, allowing technologists to make immediate improvements at the point of care.
- Volpara Analytics, a related solution, evaluates performance over time and supports retrospective quality improvement, as well as FDA MQSA audit and ACR accreditation tasks.
- The two solutions are designed to be used together, with Live addressing real-time performance and Analytics providing longitudinal performance dashboards and QA metrics.
Related Solutions in the Lunit Ecosystem
