Toronto, Canada | Santa Maria, Brazil
Arcadea continues growing in Brazil: Through the acquisition of Leorad, we are strengthening our business Animati PACS, one of Brazil's main software providers for diagnostic imaging. Leorad is adding sophisticated functionalities to generate radiological reports with AI.
Founded by radiologists, Leorad developed a structured reporting platform that combines language models, voice transcription, and terminology standardization to reduce report production time and increase consistency. The company has built a reputation within the Brazilian radiology community for its close connection to real-world clinical practice.
Leorad will continue serving its current customers with the same team and support channels. The founders remain at the forefront of operations and product direction. Over the next few months, Animati customers will have easier access to Leorad solutions, and Leorad customers will benefit from Animati's support, implementation, and integration infrastructure.
This acquisition connects to Animati's broader movement to expand its role: from a provider of RIS/PACS solutions to an orchestrator of the complete workflow, from scheduled exams to signed and delivered reports, with artificial intelligence operating within the process, and not as an isolated resource.
Jean Carlo Albiero Berni, CEO of Animati, shared the following: “The report is the heart of the radiologist's work and the point where volume pressure hurts the most today. Leorad solved this pain with a quality that only a product made by radiologists can achieve. Our role now is to give this technology the scale it deserves — and to do so without interrupting anything that already works well for the clients of both companies.”
Otto Wolf Maciel, Co-Founder of Leorad, added: “We built Leorad to solve a problem we experienced firsthand. We always knew that the next step would require distribution, support, and engineering capabilities on a whole new scale. In Animati, we found a partner who understands the market with the same depth and who preserves what brought us this far: the direct relationship with the radiologist.”
Daniel Eisen, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Arcadea Group, shared the wider perspective: “This acquisition demonstrates our commitment to sustaining Animati’s position as a leader in the radiology market. The combination of these two innovative companies will generate extraordinary value for our radiology clients, and we are excited to support further investments in the Animati platform in the coming years.”
