Munich, Germany / Pittsburgh, USA – October 15, 2025. Smart Reporting, a pioneer in AI-powered diagnostic reporting, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Fluency for Imaging, the market-leading radiology reporting and workflow platform.

Founded by radiologists in 2014, Smart Reporting has become a global reference point for standardized and automated diagnostic reporting - bridging clinical expertise with next-generation AI. Upon closing the transaction, the teams and technologies of Smart Reporting and Fluency for Imaging (FFI) will take their next significant step, the whole teams uniting to form JacobianTM.
A new diagnostic-imaging-focused company, JacobianTM will combine trusted workflow, market leading AI and speech and language technology, with standardized, computable clinical reporting in a single, deeply integrated solution.

Radiology is at a critical inflection point: exam volumes are rising, radiologist shortages persist, and cost pressures continue to mount. While imaging AI has demonstrated clear promise, adoption has been slowed by fragmented workflows and limited clinical alignment.

With new investment, focus and leadership, JacobianTM will address this gap by delivering seamless, AI powered experiences that are purpose built for radiologists and grounded in clinical best practices.
The combined strengths of the FFI and Smart Reporting platforms constitute a powerful, holistic solution for radiologists:

• Fluency for Imaging
o Market-leading speech recognition and natural language understanding: Five time Best in KLAS - Speech Recognition: Front-End Imaging.
o Intuitive templates, macros, and automation tailored to individual and enterprise preferences.
o Deep, industry leading integrations across RIS, PACS, and diverse reporting workflows for a fast, reliable, and frictionless experience.

• Smart Reporting
o Standardized, computable reporting designed by radiologists to increase depth, precision, and clinical value.
o Contextual integration of EHR data, modality and viewer signals, and AI outputs into curated clinical knowledge graphs.
o Automation that enables guideline aligned reporting and actionable data for quality, analytics, and downstream care.

Building on a two year innovation partnership, the formation of JacobianTM brings together intellectual property, medical knowledge modeling, advanced AI capabilities, whole product and engineering teams, and industry leading customer support to ensure continuity and accelerate responsible AI adoption at scale in everyday practice.

Leadership
JacobianTM will be led by the radiologist founders of Smart Reporting and the AI pioneers behind Fluency for Imaging.

Operating globally, JacobianTM will be headquartered in Munich, Germany and Pittsburgh, USA, serving customers across the USA, Canada, Europe, and Australia through localized hosting and services. Combined, JacobianTM will process over 80 million exams per year and will support and grow a global user base that is ranked number one in Australia and number two in the USA and Canada.

Smart Reporting’s acquisition of FFI is anticipated to close by the end of 2025, while JacobianTM and its new leadership team will reveal forthcoming innovations and additional details on partnerships and outcomes at RSNA 2025.
