ADVANCE Chest CT

The program can measure lung lesions, detect blood clots, and outline areas of pathological lung tissue on CT scans. The goal is to support radiologists in their work with CT thorax (chest) examinations. Currently, international guidelines are not followed, which require tracking nodules using volumetric measurements. The program enables these consecutive measurements with automatic segmentation, plots growth and regression curves, and performs this across multiple scans taken at different time points. The work is concentration-intensive and repetitive, often taking a long time, as radiologists fear missing new (and potentially serious) lesions.

AID_MIND

The project aims to develop and test an AI-based Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) system – MIND (Medical Intelligent Note and Documentation Assistant) – that automates the creation of draft versions of interdisciplinary nursing communication documents based on data from electronic patient records. The system automatically retrieves and structures relevant information from the patient record, follows documentation guidelines, and generates drafts with traceable source references. A validation layer ensures factual accuracy, and a transparency report documents which record sections were used. The first proof of concept (POC 1) was completed with nurses from the Geriatric Department G and municipal nurses, who assessed the quality of the AI-generated care plans. Results show document quality comparable to nurses' current documentation, and the time required to produce care plans could potentially be reduced to less than half. Specific improvement points have been identified and will be implemented in the second proof of concept (POC 2). Funding for POC 2 is being sought within the near future.

AirCON

AIRCON (AI Radiotherapy CONtouring) was developed as part of a quality improvement project in the Department of Medical Physics, Oncology Department at Sygehus Lillebælt, focusing on the integration of AI into cancer radiotherapy treatment. The goal is to develop AI models that support physicians during contouring for radiotherapy planning. The model performs a standard contouring, after which the result is sent for physician review, where necessary corrections are made to comply with Danish national guidelines. By using a model to generate the initial contours, we expect to achieve more consistent contouring, ensuring that all organs and tumor areas are delineated in the same way (reducing intra- and inter-observer variation), thereby increasing confidence in delivering correct and optimal treatment on the first attempt. Additionally, it is generally faster to make minor adjustments to an existing contour than to perform a full manual contouring from scratch, so we anticipate a reduction in the time required per patient for contouring.

MethoTrack

MethoTrack is a daily automated monitoring system for patients on methotrexate (MTX) treatment. The system has been running in full clinical operation at the Rheumatology Outpatient Clinic, OUH Svendborg, since April 8, 2026. Developed within the department as part of a PhD project. The system automatically scans daily FMK prescriptions and identifies all MTX patients in the outpatient clinic. For each patient, it checks whether there is an active blood test request, whether the blood sample was taken on time, and whether the results show alarm findings (e.g., pancytopenia). Results are sent as Excel reports to each professional group in the clinic, containing only their respective tasks: - The secretary views patients missing requests and automatically sends standard letters when blood samples are not taken - The nurse calls patients who have not responded to the standard letters - The physician is alerted to alarm findings (e.g., pancytopenia) in blood test results Each team marks tasks as completed in the Excel file so they do not reappear the next day. The system captures blood samples taken outside the hospital (e.g., general practice, local laboratories) that would otherwise not appear in the hospital's inbox. It relieves all three professional groups of daily manual patient reviews and enables specialists to monitor patients remotely, even when patients are not physically present for follow-up. In one year of operation, the system identified three patients with MTX-induced pancytopenia. The most recent case was detected solely by the system, as the blood tests were ordered and taken in general practice and thus never reached the hospital's inbox.

RBfracture

It has been politically decided that all hospitals in the region will trial RBfracture from Radiobotics over a three-year period. Licensing and administrative costs are covered by Regional IT. The license runs from 01.02.2026 for a duration of three years, effective from now. The algorithm will be deployed directly on the imaging modality, i.e., as software in the X-ray rooms, with images sent to PACS showing the AI algorithm's findings as an overlay. The tool will primarily be used by the Emergency Department and orthopedic surgery in acute patient situations, but as a radiology department, we will receive the images for reporting and thus contribute to evaluating the algorithm's suggestions. Lillebælt Hospital has used the algorithm on a trial basis for the past couple of years, and fortunately, we can leverage their experience with both the technology and collaboration to move forward. We are next in line for implementation after Sygehus Sønderjylland, at Esbjerg and Grindsted Hospitals. OUH will follow at a later stage.
