Speed, Scale, and Smarter Care: RaySearch Delivers AI-Powered Oncology Breakthroughs
RaySearch Laboratories / Iridium Network · Belgium
RaySearch Laboratories uses NVIDIA CUDA and TensorRT technologies across its RayStation radiotherapy planning system to accelerate image registration, dose calculations, and AI-driven deep learning segmentation for cancer treatment planning. GPU acceleration enables dose calculations up to 20x faster and full plan optimization in minutes. Iridium Network, Belgium's largest radiotherapy provider, reduced time spent on image segmentation and treatment planning by 44% and 47% respectively after implementing AI-driven automation. In 2024, over 200,000 patients benefited from automated image segmentation using this technology.

The challenge
Cancer incidence continues to increase as populations age, putting unprecedented pressure on clinical resources. Oncology teams face large and growing patient volumes, yet the workflow for personalized radiotherapy treatment is complex and time-consuming, often requiring manual steps and hours of specialized work.
The solution
RaySearch Laboratories leverages NVIDIA CUDA and TensorRT technologies across its RayStation planning system to accelerate image registration, dose calculations, and AI-driven deep learning segmentation for cancer treatment planning, enabling clinicians to create, optimize, and evaluate treatment plans in minutes rather than hours. RaySearch solutions are typically deployed on servers powered by NVIDIA RTX 6000 GPUs or dual NVIDIA L40S, with developer workstations powered by RTX 5000 GPUs.
Reported business value
GPU acceleration enables dose calculations up to 20x faster than CPU workflows, with full plan optimization completed in minutes. Iridium Network, Belgium's largest radiotherapy provider, reduced time spent on image segmentation and treatment planning by 44% and 47% respectively after implementing AI-driven automation. In 2024, over 200,000 patients benefited from automated image segmentation using this technology.

Novo Nordisk builds AI drug discovery platform on Azure with Microsoft Research
Novo Nordisk partnered with Microsoft Research to build an AI platform on Azure AI and data stacks spanning regulatory affairs, early research, drug discovery and trial design, using Azure OpenAI Service, Azure Cosmos DB and Azure Kubernetes Service, with Power BI and Power Apps for collaboration. The platform includes a copilot for researchers, shared reasoning-chain templates, and governance/auditing of how data and models are used. The teams published early results on predictive AI models for cardiovascular disease risk detection, including an algorithm that Novo Nordisk says predicts patients' cardiovascular risk better than the best clinical standards, drawing on more than 100 years of insulin research data.
CDPHP modernizes infrastructure and improves medical data extraction with AWS AI/ML
CDPHP, a not-for-profit health plan serving 400,000 members in Upstate New York, used AWS services including Amazon Comprehend Medical, Amazon Textract, and Amazon SageMaker to automate its data processing pipeline for unstructured medical records and health data. The organization processed over seven million records during initial migration and now processes 3,000 electronic health records weekly. CDPHP achieved a 60% improvement in overall efficiency and reduced HEDIS report generation from 4-5 days (three data scientists) to two reports produced daily.
Mayo Clinic deploys NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD to accelerate pathology foundation models
Mayo Clinic deployed an NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD with NVIDIA DGX B200 systems to support foundation model development for pathomics, drug discovery and precision medicine. In partnership with Aignostics, Mayo Clinic built the Atlas pathology foundation model, trained on more than 1.2 million histopathology whole-slide images. The new infrastructure is reducing four weeks of pathology slide analysis work to one week.
Myriad Genetics speeds document processing with AWS GenAI Intelligent Document Processing Accelerator
Myriad Genetics partnered with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center to replace an Amazon Textract/Comprehend pipeline with Amazon Bedrock foundation models (Nova Pro for classification, Nova Premier for extraction) using the open-source GenAI IDP Accelerator. Document classification accuracy rose from 94% to 98%, classification cost per page fell 77% (3.1 cents to 0.7 cents), and classification time fell 80% (8.5 minutes to 1.5 minutes per document). Automated key information extraction reached 90% accuracy matching the manual baseline, with a projected $132K in annual savings and 300 hours saved monthly across 9,000 prior authorizations in the Women's Health unit alone.
