Emergency Radiology: Detection vs Complete Coverage
5C Network Emergency Workflow
- 1 AI detects critical finding (stroke, PE, ICH)
- 2 Case auto-escalated to senior radiologist
- 3 Complete report delivered in <15 minutes
- 4 Direct notification to referring physician
Result: Complete actionable report
Aidoc Emergency Workflow
- 1 AI detects critical finding (stroke, PE, ICH)
- 2 Alert sent to your radiologist's worklist

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between 5C Network and Aidoc?
5C Network provides end-to-end radiology services delivering complete signed reports using AI + 400+ radiologists. Aidoc specializes in 'always-on' AI triage that detects critical findings (stroke, PE, hemorrhage) and alerts radiologists, but doesn't provide the radiologists or final reports itself.
Does Aidoc provide radiologists like 5C Network?
No. Aidoc is an AI-only platform that flags critical findings and reprioritizes worklists. Your existing radiologists still need to interpret and create final reports. 5C Network provides both the AI technology and a network of 400+ radiologists who deliver complete, signed reports.
Which platform is better for emergency radiology?
Aidoc excels at detecting and flagging critical findings like stroke, pulmonary embolism, and intracranial hemorrhage with FDA-cleared algorithms. However, you still need radiologists to interpret and report. 5C Network provides complete emergency radiology coverage with <15 minute TAT for critical findings AND delivers the final signed report.
Can Aidoc generate radiology reports?
No. Aidoc provides AI detection and triage - it flags findings and prioritizes worklists but doesn't generate diagnostic reports. 5C Network delivers complete, structured radiology reports signed by board-certified radiologists, powered by AI assistance.
Which has more FDA clearances?
Aidoc has extensive FDA clearances for specific critical finding detection (stroke, PE, ICH, cervical spine fractures, etc.). 5C Network focuses on comprehensive reporting rather than point-solution FDA clearances. For regulatory-sensitive use cases requiring specific FDA clearances, Aidoc has more certifications.
Need Complete Emergency Radiology Coverage?
