How Sol Radiology leveraged AI to put patients first and deliver timely results
When Sol Radiology was called to help a partner hospital facing an overwhelming backlog of mammograms, the stakes were high. More than 100 patients had been waiting weeks – some over a month – for results. Concerns were mounting for both patients and referring physicians, and the hospital urgently needed a solution.
Despite their already full schedules, Sol Radiology didn’t hesitate. Their motivation was simple: the patients. Every woman waiting for her results deserved timely answers and peace of mind.
With the support of Lunit INSIGHT MMG and INSIGHT DBT, Sol Radiology’s team acted quickly. This advanced AI tool not only accelerated reading speed but also increased confidence in detecting cancers and identifying high-risk patients – some of whom had no prior indication of disease.
“We were able to clear a one-month backlog in just three working days – on top of our normal workload,” said Dr. Megha Gupta, Sol Radiology’s Lead Interpreting Physician for Mammography. “That simply would not have been possible without Lunit.”
Why it worked
The hospital’s reading pipeline had stalled due to staffing and workflow challenges. Sol Radiology was able to step in seamlessly thanks to its workflow integration with INSIGHT MMG and INSIGHT DBT.
But the real advantage wasn’t just speed – it was confidence.
“Lunit helps us read faster and more accurately. When AI flags something, we know it deserves close attention. When it shows low risk, we can move forward knowing we aren’t missing cancers,” Dr. Gupta explained.
That trust meant Sol Radiology could take on additional volume without compromising care. Several urgent, high-risk cases were identified and escalated immediately – patients who otherwise would have waited weeks longer for answers.
For patients, the outcome was relief. For the hospital, it was restored trust. For Sol Radiology, it was proof that AI is not just an efficiency tool – it’s a lifeline for patient care.
Growth without adding staff
The patient benefits were matched by business growth:
- Expanded hospital partnerships without hiring additional mammography specialists.
- Increased reading capacity while maintaining same-day results at their own centers.
- Reinforced their role as a trusted partner able to handle unexpected surges in demand.
“Lunit has helped us grow in a way that keeps patients at the center while also supporting our hospital partners,” said Rebecca Wollenburg, Sol Radiology’s CAO. “We’re able to take on higher volumes and expand into new hospitals without overextending our radiologists – ensuring patients still receive timely results and the peace of mind they deserve, and partners can rely on us for consistent, reliable care.”
Takeaway for radiologists
Across the country, radiology practices face staffing shortages, rising screening volumes, and pressure to deliver faster turnaround times. Sol Radiology’s experience shows that with INSIGHT MMG and INSIGHT DBT, practices can scale, clear backlogs, and deliver timely results – sustainably.
For radiology groups who want to stay competitive, ensure patient trust, and grow without overburdening staff, Lunit isn’t just AI – it’s a practical, trusted support system for better patient care.
