Šeškinės Poliklinika

Šeškinės Poliklinika, one of Lithuania's largest public clinics serving 85,000+ patients, faced increasing imaging demand with over 2,700 chest X-rays processed monthly. The radiology department needed to improve diagnostic consistency and efficiency without adding staff, while preparing for anticipated volume increases from expanding national screening programs.

The clinic deployed Oxipit CXR Suite over four years, integrating two key capabilities into their PACS: a real-time quality assurance tool that flags discrepancies between AI findings and radiologist reports, and ChestLink — an autonomous reporting tool that automatically clears normal chest X-rays for occupational health checks without requiring radiologist review.

ChestLink now autonomously reports approximately 80% of occupational/prophylactic chest X-ray cases, eliminating the bottleneck of manual review for healthy scans. Referring physicians receive immediate AI impressions at point of care, enabling faster clinical decisions during high-volume periods like flu season. Radiologist workload shifted toward complex cases, and initial resistance faded as PACS integration made AI a seamless part of daily workflow.

• Seamless PACS integration was the turning point for radiologist adoption — friction in accessing AI outputs was the primary barrier before native workflow embedding.
• Autonomous reporting is most viable and impactful for well-defined, low-risk case types (e.g., occupational health CXRs) where the cost of error is manageable and volume is high.
• Framing AI quality assurance as collaborative learning rather than performance evaluation was essential to building clinical trust and sustaining use.
