PRWEB – November 30, 2015 –  USARAD Holdings Inc., a leading US Joint Commission Accredited telemedicine, second opinions and radiology services solutions provider and Rcadia Medical Solutions, a deep learning applications and software company specializing in Cardiac CT imaging announce strategic collaboration to deliver first of its kind automated cloud-based Cardiac CT Imaging program to patients as well as imaging facilities globally.

For multiphase studies, the COR Analyzer automatically selects the best phase for each blood vessel and indicates which phase was used in the analysis. Level 1 service is available for imaging facilities as a free service on a trial basis.

As an optional level 2 service, final interpretation reports are available to both consumers and medical facilities. This service is provided by professional USARAD cardiac imaging team represented by both radiologists and cardiologists who are ACC level III certified or Board Certified in Cardiovascular CT by the Certification Board of Cardiovascular CT.
