Oxford-based startup RADiCAIT is revolutionizing medical imaging by leveraging AI to transform CT scans into PET scans, offering a more accessible and affordable alternative. Traditionally, PET scans have been complex, costly, and logistically challenging for patients, but RADiCAIT aims to change that.
According to CEO Sean Walsh, RADiCAIT’s approach simplifies the imaging process by replacing the traditionally cumbersome PET scans with AI-generated PET scans from CT images. This breakthrough not only streamlines the process but also addresses the geographic limitations faced by rural and regional hospitals that lack access to PET scanners.
At the core of RADiCAIT’s technology is a generative deep neural network developed at the University of Oxford. This cutting-edge AI model, pioneered by the startup’s team led by Chief Medical Information Officer Regent Lee, showcases the power of AI in transforming healthcare practices.
By making diagnostic imaging more affordable and accessible, RADiCAIT is poised to have a significant impact on the healthcare industry. The startup’s participation as a Top 20 finalist in Startup Battlefield at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 underscores the recognition of its technological innovation.
