Siemens Healthineers - AIRC — diagnostic UI design

Florian (Fritz) Friesinger

Context

During my year at Siemens Healthineers, I worked on several AI-powered imaging products, collaborating with various teams on complex diagnostic tools, including AI-Rad Companion (AIRC) for Brain MR and Chest CT, as well as MR Cardiac, a standalone diagnostic application.
AI-Rad Companion is a family of vendor-neutral, multi-organ AI solutions supporting radiologists in image-based clinical decision making. Each “Extension” targets a specific modality and body region, automatically detecting findings and providing structured results.
MR Cardiac enables radiologists to analyse and quantify cardiac MR images more efficiently and consistently, integrating AI-supported tools into multimodality reading workflows.
My work focused on UI design for highly specialised, multimodality diagnostic workflows — aiming to improve efficiency, interpretability, and user confidence through clear presentation of AI results and clinical metrics.
