Gemini for radiology & medical imaging

Google DeepMind's natively multimodal model family, deeply integrated into Workspace, with a very large context window.

Recommended for radiology & medical imaging

Gemini is strong in native multimodality: text, images, audio, video and a very large context window. That suits detecting and flagging findings on X-ray, CT and MRI (fractures, nodules, embolisms, bleeds).

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

Image analysis AI is a medical device: only use software with a CE marking under the MDR (class IIa or higher) for the exact purpose you deploy it for, and document how you validate and keep monitoring performance locally. You process special category personal data: ask where images are processed (on-premise, EU cloud or outside), whether they are pseudonymised and whether they are used for training, and sign a data processing agreement. Many vendors run on AWS or Azure or have been acquired by US groups, so check the current data location. The radiologist remains ultimately responsible for the report.

Via Vertex AI, processing can be pinned to EU regions (including the Netherlands). Enterprise data is not used for training; the free consumer app offers fewer guarantees (though stricter policies apply for the EU/EEA).

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
