Frequently Asked Questions
What is a unified radiology platform?
A unified radiology platform combines the worklist, PACS viewer, and reporting tools that most practices run as separate systems into a single workspace. Instead of logging into three or four different applications to pick up a case, view images, dictate a report, and push it to the EHR, everything happens in one system inside your browser. New Lantern is built this way from the ground up, not bolted together through integrations or acquisitions.
How is cloud-native PACS different from on-premise PACS?
A cloud-native PACS runs entirely in the browser with no local software installs, no on-site servers, and doesn't require VPN tunnels. Studies load in sub-second time with study precaching. Updates deploy automatically with zero downtime, and new sites go live in days instead of months. On-premise systems require dedicated hardware, IT maintenance windows, and desktop client installations on every workstation. Some vendors call their products cloud but still require local caching or thick-client downloads. If it needs a C: drive, it is not cloud-native.
How does Curie AI actually work during reporting?
Curie pre-drafts up to 75% of the radiology report before the radiologist starts dictating. It pulls structured data from the study, references prior findings, and writes in the radiologist's own language patterns. The radiologist dictates positive findings, reviews the draft, edits what needs changing, and signs. Curie learns from those edits over time, improving accuracy with every correction. The radiologist is always in control. Curie never signs or finalizes anything independently.
Does New Lantern replace our existing PACS?
Yes. New Lantern is a complete PACS replacement, not just an overlay. It includes the worklist, the DICOM viewer with full 3D and specialty modality support, and AI-powered reporting & dictation in a single system. Your historical imaging data migrates with full continuity. Prior studies, reports, and patient records carry over so radiologists have everything they need from day one.
Is New Lantern FDA-approved?
New Lantern is fully registered with the FDA as a Class I medical image communications device under regulation 892.2020, which covers software whose principal function is transferring, viewing, and managing medical images. This classification is exempt from 510(k) clearance, which applies to Class II devices intended to detect or diagnose disease. New Lantern is not a diagnostic AI and does not make clinical determinations, Curie generates draft reports that a licensed radiologist reviews, edits, and signs.

ABOUT US
Built for the world's best radiologists. By Silicon Valley's best engineers.
New Lantern was built by Silicon Valley engineers, AI researchers, and Radiologists who got tired of watching brilliant clinicians spend half their day fighting their own tools. We didn't patch the problem. We built an entirely new workspace from scratch.
