Low-level FDG uptake in a solid pulmonary nodule does not exclude malignancy.

Solid Pulmonary Nodules on FDG PET/CT

2018 study – Below threshold SUV. SUV max 2.2

2020 study – Biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma. SUV max 5.4

Shared to improve patient safety and healthcare delivery in the provision of radiology services. The circumstances and facts are changed, altered, or deidentified to preserve confidentiality. Privileges have not been waived.

---

Practical Insights

• • Historically, SUV > 2.5 has been shown to have higher positive predictive value for malignancy.

  • However, SUV <2.5 is not definitively benign.

  • Nodule morphology and change over time are as important as SUV.

  • If low FDG activity, recommend follow-up CT as a minimum

Acquisition unites Cognita’s proven AI foundation models, Mosaic’s enterprise technology and RP’s scale of 4,000+ radiologists and 55+ million annual imaging studies to power a new era of radiology intelligence

Cognita emerges from stealth with validated AI that reduces major diagnostic errors, increases detection rates and empowers faster, more accurate results for patients 

(NASHVILLE, Tenn., AND PALO ALTO, Calif.) Nov. 17, 2025 – Amid an acute and worsening global shortage of radiologists, driven by rising imaging demand, limited residency growth and accelerated workforce attrition, Mosaic Clinical Technologies™ (Mosaic), the technology and AI services division of Radiology Partners (RP), announced the acquisition of Cognita Imaging Inc. Cognita is a pioneer in vision language models purpose-built for radiology. The combination brings together Mosaic’s enterprise-scale operating system, MosaicOS™, and Cognita’s cutting edge AI technology and expertise to accelerate development of next-generation tools that expand clinical capacity, improve diagnostic accuracy and enhance patient care. 

“The next era of radiology will be defined by the convergence of clinical expertise and advanced technology,” said Rich Whitney, CEO of Mosaic and RP. “With imaging demand rising much faster than radiologist supply, the combination of Mosaic and Cognita strengthens our ability to transform how care is delivered—improving accuracy, accelerating time-to-diagnose and expanding access to high-quality imaging. Together, we aim to deliver better outcomes for patients and health systems at scale, while equipping radiologists with the tools to deliver faster, more precise care, while mitigating clinician burnout.” 

Cognita powers Mosaic Drafting™¹ and announces early results underscoring strong performance on X-ray and CT 

Cognita’s proprietary vision language models power Mosaic Drafting™, an AI solution that analyzes X-rays and head CTs and drafts preliminary results for physicians to review and confirm. Tested through preliminary reader studies and large-scale retrospective validation across more than 100 radiologists and 95,000 X-rays and head CTs, Mosaic Drafting™ has already demonstrated the potential power of human–AI collaboration in healthcare. Early X-ray (chest, musculoskeletal and abdominal) and CT (head) results show meaningful gains in accuracy, efficiency and radiologist satisfaction:   

• Up to 52% increased detection rates with radiologist-AI collaboration, including high impact conditions such as cancer, brain hemorrhage, bone infection and lung collapse across supported modalities and anatomies.  
• Up to fourfold reduction in significant diagnostic errors with AI-generated results compared to radiologist-only interpretations.  
• Radiologist read-time savings up to 76%. 
• High acceptance among radiologists with 87-98% of AI-generated results requiring one or fewer clinically significant edits. 

These findings highlight the models’ ability to meaningfully enhance diagnostic accuracy, reduce variability and expand clinical capacity, all while keeping radiologists firmly in control of diagnostic decision making. Cognita’s vision language models are advancing through large-scale, independent Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved trials as part of the pathway to FDA authorization.  

“Nearly half of the world’s population has limited or no access to basic diagnostics,” said Louis Blankemeier, CEO of Cognita. “Cognita is committed to accelerating access to imaging care across the world, and joining forces with Mosaic allows us to apply our technology at scale for impact while preserving the cutting-edge technology development, rapid innovation and best-in-class AI talent that defines our company. We’re excited to continue growing a world-class AI engineering team as we bring the next generation of AI-powered tools into widespread clinical practice as part of the MosaicOS™ platform.”  

“After more than a decade of advancing AI in radiology, we are finally seeing a breakthrough with potential to address the severe global radiology capacity crisis,” said Dr. Nina Kottler, Chief Medical AI Officer for Mosaic Clinical Technologies™. “Cognita’s foundation models integrated with Mosaic’s platform create a human-plus-AI framework where technology not only expands radiologist capacity but also materially enhances clinical performance. These tools are delivering results unlike anything we’ve seen before, all while radiologists maintain full oversight and accountability.” 

“This is an important step forward in medical imaging technology,” said Dan Sheeran, Vice President, Healthcare and Life Sciences at Amazon Web Services (AWS). “By combining Mosaic’s enterprise-grade technology platform, Cognita’s advanced AI capabilities and expertise—trained and deployed on AWS infrastructure—we see meaningful progress in helping solve some of the toughest challenges radiologists face today.” 

Cognita, led by co-founders Drs. Louis Blankemeier, Zhihong Chen and Akshay Chaudhari, will operate as an independent business unit, maintaining its AI focus. Joining Mosaic and RP provides access to diverse clinical data for rigorous real-world validation, deep clinical practice expertise and the long-term capital needed for continued model development, training and regulatory authorization. It also enables seamless integration of Cognita’s AI with MosaicOS™, unlocking capabilities and scale that neither could achieve alone.  

This announcement marks Cognita’s emergence from stealth, following more than a year of development and validation in partnership with RP. Cognita is expanding its team to accelerate AI development and deployment. Exceptional engineers who want to impact tens of millions of patients can contact Cognita at talent@cognita.ai.

Dr. Shaheen Hussaini discusses how Radiology Partners (RP) offers resources, support, collaboration and innovation to empower radiologists to make a meaningful impact on patient care and the future of radiology.

Dr. Shaheen Hussaini is the National Subspecialty Lead (NSL) for Pediatric Radiology at RP. A pediatric radiologist at Austin Radiological Association (ARA), she and her practice joined RP in 2019. She is a member of the American College of Radiology, Radiological Society of North America, Society of Pediatric Radiology and Texas Medical Association. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling and spending time with her husband and children, and she loves reading, hiking and trying new activities – often bringing her family along for the adventure.

We talked to Dr. Hussaini about her role as NSL for Pediatric Radiology and how RP offers radiologists a true seat at the table.

Tell us about why you chose radiology and, ultimately, pediatric radiology.

What interested me in radiology was how collaborative it is. You get to talk to a variety of physicians and sub-specialists and use those different perspectives to determine the best way to answer their questions about the patient. It’s also fun to play with toys – and radiology has a lot of toys. In pediatric radiology, you interact with patients who don’t have a voice; these are small patients often too young to explain what’s wrong. It helps that they’re cute, even when they’re angry at you because what you’re doing to them is not fun. Going through pediatric radiology training while pregnant and as a new parent helped me relate to the children and families in a much more personal way. It elicited a desire to help and play small part of their diagnostic and treatment journey, and I felt I could be more empathetic and understanding. Another thing I love about pediatric radiology is the variety, because there are all varying subspecialties that are part of pediatric radiology instead of focusing on just one area, such as neuroradiology or musculoskeletal radiology. Pediatric radiologists do a little bit of everything.

How did you connect with RP?

Our practice joined RP right before COVID, which turned out to be incredibly fortunate. The pandemic wreaked havoc on pretty much everybody, but we had support from RP. Being part of a radiology practice at RP’s scale versus a big local or even regional practice was helpful during the ups and downs. RP helped us see the bigger picture and supported us both financially and administratively, which was invaluable. Of course, we couldn’t have predicted COVID but joining when we did was a really lucky and positive move.

What excites you about RP? What is most fulfilling about working as a radiologist for RP?

What excites me about RP is its national presence. In pediatric radiology – and even across all radiology subspecialties – a common challenge is radiologists feeling like they don’t have a seat at the table. Before joining RP, we were already part of a large regional practice with a big presence in Austin and the surrounding metropolitan area, and it was a big step for us to join RP. But joining RP gave us something we didn’t have before: a true seat at the table. Whether it’s working with payors or hospital systems or leveraging organizational capabilities, RP brings support and infrastructure to bring everything together and move forward strategically and say, for example, “let’s invest in AI or this way of practice” or “let’s move away from this, because this isn’t working.” In a time when pediatric radiology – and medicine in general – is short-staffed at every level, having the ability to invest in the future and innovate is critical. RP makes that possible in a way most groups simply can’t.

You were recently named National Subspecialty Lead for Pediatric Radiology at RP. Tell us more about that role.

I’ve been on the national subspecialty advisory board for close to five years, and Dr. Rich Heller, Pediatric Radiologist and SVP of Health Policy at RP, encouraged me to get involved. The advisory board is a good platform for all subspecialties, but as a pediatric radiologist, it brings a small subgroup of people from larger groups to address shared challenges and offer subspecialty-focused resources, education and expertise available to other radiologists at RP. For example, if a radiologist without pediatric radiology expertise needs guidance or has a question, they can access specific content or reach out to one of us for support. As the lead, I get to help shape that direction, whether it’s deciding what content is important, bringing ideas to the group and collaborating with colleagues to make the information available to the rest of the practice. That kind of support is hard to find at smaller practices.

You’ve mentioned the collaborative environment you’ve experienced at RP. Tell us more about that.

The spirit of collaboration is a big part of what makes RP special. Personally, I’ve felt invited to the table, and the practice regularly encourages others to participate in forums and discussions. There are multiple platforms where radiologists can get involved. I’ve been encouraged to reach out to academic partners and participate in groups like the Society of Chiefs of Radiology at Children’s Hospitals. Several of us from RP are involved and having that presence gives us valuable face time at the academic level. It shows that pediatric radiologists in private practice are contributing meaningfully to the field, even if it’s not always through traditional academic research. It’s great to know how other groups operate, what challenges they face and how we might collaborate to solve shared problems. That kind of connection and problem-solving across practices is what makes this work so rewarding.

What does the future of radiology look like to you, and how will RP contribute to that?

Looking ahead, AI is going to be a huge part of radiology’s future. That’s where being part of a practice like RP matters. Like it or not, AI is here, and I’d rather be leading that change than chasing it. Being part of RP and being part of AI development gives us a seat at the table and lets us advocate for what matters most to us as physicians.

Dr. Shaheen Hussaini earned her medical degree from Aga Khan University Medical College in Karachi, Pakistan; completed her residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, Arkansas; and completed her fellowship in pediatric imaging at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Dr. Dana Bonaminio, a breast radiologist in Nashville, has spent her career providing mammography care for women, promoting the importance of preventative care and early detection, and encouraging women to advocate for their breast health. But in 2024, she found herself on the other side of the conversation, facing the diagnosis of breast cancer herself.

Supplemental Screenings Led to Early Diagnoses

In addition to annual screening mammography, her own journey began after a routine supplemental breast MRI revealed suspicious masses in her left breast. Her care team followed up with a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound, which confirmed four small masses correlating with the MRI findings. The following day, she underwent two ultrasound-guided biopsies.

“For me, the very worst part was the wait to learn about the tumor markers,” Dr. Bonaminio shared. She was scared, but hopeful. “I have two little kids,” she said.

The Power of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography

Despite a cancer diagnosis, her biopsy results brought a sense of relief. She learned she had favorable tumor markers and would not be required to have chemotherapy treatments, a stage one diagnosis. While she would need a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction, there was hope she could avoid radiation if her lymph nodes and surgical margins were clear.

Before surgery, Dr. Bonaminio chose to have a contrast-enhanced mammogram. As a radiologist, she knew the power of contrast but seeing it as a patient was even more eye-opening. The contrast revealed cancers that conventional imaging had missed, hidden within her dense breast tissue.

“This technology could have caught my cancer earlier,” she said. “We need to ask why contrast-enhanced mammography isn’t offered as a screening tool. The answer should be yes, and we need to push for approval.”

After her bilateral mastectomies, she relied on her support system throughout her recovery. “It’s a solo battle, but I wasn’t alone,” she reflected. Ten days post-op, she received her final pathology results, and her recovery journey began.

Fueled to Advocate

Dr. Bonaminio leaned into advocacy after her reconstruction procedure. She participated in the Komen Walk in Nashville, attended the Pink Ribbon Good Gala in St. Louis and was honored at the Tennessee Titans Crucial Catch Game.

In early 2025, her experience led her to start a Pink Ribbon Good chapter in Nashville. The non-profit organization serves patients and their families affected by breast and gynecological cancer, offering free healthy meals, rides to treatment, housecleaning essentials and other support and resources.

At RP’s 2025 Practice Leadership Summit in Chicago, Dr. Bonaminio bravely shared her journey with her colleagues. RP radiologists and leaders joined RP CEO and Board Chair Rich Whitney and the practice in donating to support the Pink Ribbon Good Nashville Chapter, giving $30,000 to support the newly created organization. Later, in October, Pink Ribbon Good’s Nashville Chapter held its inaugural fundraising event “Ignite the Fight.”

Now, with the perspective of both physician and patient, Dr. Bonaminio is committed to advocacy. She said, “Whether it’s legislation for better access to care or supporting nonprofits that provide essential services, I’m excited for the rest of my career.”
