Smart Soft Healthcare and OSIMIS are joining forces to enhance medical imaging analysis and support more efficient radiology workflows for lumbar spine MRI examinations.

Through the partnership, CoLumbo AI Spine Assistant will become available on the OSIMIS AI Platform, enabling hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, and other healthcare providers across the BeNeLux region and beyond to integrate CoLumbo into their existing imaging workflows through a cloud-based AI environment.

CoLumbo uses artificial intelligence to assist radiologists in analyzing lumbar spine MRI examinations, including findings such as disc herniation, central spinal canal stenosis, foraminal stenosis, and other spinal pathologies. By automating measurements and supporting structured analysis, the software helps improve reporting efficiency and consistency.

“Partnering with OSIMIS is a natural and logical fit for us,” said Nikolay Todorov, Chief Commercial Officer of Smart Soft Healthcare. “Their platform provides a secure, GDPR-compliant, accessible, and user-friendly environment for radiologists to access the latest AI medical imaging analysis software to help them advance their diagnostic analysis and outcomes. We are excited to bring our innovative technology to the OSIMIS AI Platform and expand our reach to more healthcare providers in our target European market.”

“At OSIMIS, the ultimate goal is to increase the availability of excellent diagnostics for patients, enable new digitally liberated workplaces for radiologists, and allow cost control and scaling for healthcare systems. That calls for a platform that centralizes only class-act solutions complementing one another so radiology departments gain efficiency through cross-departmental collaboration. When it comes to interpreting lumbar spine MRI scans, CoLumbo is validated as one of the best AI-assistive software options out there. The company and solution match all the OSIMIS parameters, and we’re more than happy to onboard them into the OSIMIS ecosystem,” said Prof. Dr. Sergey Morozov, Chief Innovation Officer at OSIMIS.

About CoLumbo

CoLumbo AI Spine Assistant, developed by Smart Soft Healthcare, is an AI-powered medical imaging solution designed to assist radiologists in the analysis and reporting of lumbar spine MRI examinations.

The software automatically identifies and measures key anatomical structures of the lumbar spine through segmentation and generates structured findings that can be incorporated into an editable draft report.

CoLumbo helps radiologists streamline their reporting workflow, with studies demonstrating reporting time savings of 15–30% and a reduction in errors of omission of up to 15%. The software can also support greater consistency and standardization of reporting practices across hospitals and diagnostic imaging networks.

CoLumbo’s deep-learning algorithms have been developed using a large proprietary dataset of annotated lumbar spine MRI examinations. The software has also undergone clinical evaluation across medical centers in Europe and the United States.

CoLumbo is FDA 510(k) cleared, CE marked under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), and TGA approved, supporting its use across multiple international healthcare markets.

CoLumbo is also available through a growing network of medical imaging AI platforms and technology partners.
