A military clinical hospital in Lublin has gone to market for an AI-enabled upgrade to its Computed Tomography (CT) service, combining a new teleconsultation platform, AI-supported reporting stations and enhanced post-processing tools. The CT System Expansion contract signals how imaging is becoming a focal point for hospital digital programmes and the roll-out of AI in routine diagnostics.
The buyer, 1 Wojskowy Szpital Kliniczny z Polikliniką SPZOZ w Lublinie, is not procuring a new scanner but expanding its existing CT system. According to the notice published on 10th June 2026, the contract covers three main elements:
Together, these components are designed to reshape the CT workflow rather than the hardware. A teleconsultation platform would allow radiologists and clinicians to share CT images and opinions across sites, while AI-supported reporting stations aim to assist with image interpretation and structured reporting.
The expansion of the post-processing system, with more diagnostic workstations and updated software, points to rising CT volumes and more complex imaging protocols. Extra workstations can help spread reporting loads, support sub-specialisation and make it easier to deliver services across extended hours or multiple locations.
The Lublin project sits alongside a series of recent tenders in Poland that focus on new CT scanners and major imaging room adaptations. In December 2025, Uniwersyteckie Centrum Kliniczne launched a contract for the delivery of a CT scanner, including installation and staff training, to boost oncological diagnostics and treatment at the University Clinical Center (Delivery of CT Scanner for UCK).
Also in December 2025, Szpital Kliniczny Ministerstwa Spraw Wewnętrznych i Administracji z Warmińsko-Mazurskim Centrum Onkologii w Olsztynie published a notice for a full CT replacement, covering disassembly of an existing scanner, radiation shielding design, room adaptation, delivery and installation of a new machine, integration with hospital information systems and staff training (CT Scanner Delivery and Installation).
Similar scanner-focused procurements have continued into 2026. In February 2026, Specjalistyczny Szpital Miejski im. M. Kopernika w Toruniu tendered for the delivery, installation and commissioning of a cardiological CT scanner, coupled with modernisation of the CT laboratory premises to meet regulatory standards (Cardiological CT Scanner Project). In May 2026, Wielkopolskie Centrum Pulmonologii i Torakochirurgii in Poznań went to market for a CT scanner with adaptation of the department, installation and staff training (CT Scanner Purchase and Installation).
In that context, the Lublin contract shows a different phase of investment: building advanced digital capabilities on top of existing imaging hardware. It underlines that hospitals are now looking beyond pure equipment replacement towards telemedicine, AI tools and integrated software as levers to improve throughput and clinical quality.
The explicit requirement for reporting stations “with AI support” makes this CT expansion a notable step in the routine use of AI for diagnostics. Rather than a standalone pilot, the AI tools are positioned as part of the core reporting infrastructure for CT.
Elsewhere in Poland, AI is also starting to appear as a standard component of radiology system upgrades. In April 2026, Kliniczny Szpital Wojewódzki im. św. Jadwigi Królowej w Rzeszowie issued a tender to expand its hospital radiology system to include AI tools, integration with the PUI platform, a digital “bunker” for imaging data and an LLM-based voice recognition and medical document completion system, while meeting accessibility and sustainability requirements (Hospital Radiology System Expansion).
Also in June 2026, Uniwersytecki Szpital Kliniczny im. Fryderyka Chopina w Rzeszowie published a contract notice to expand its hospital radiological system with AI tools and to purchase 30 DICOM review workstations, fully integrated with the existing system as part of a wider digital transformation project in healthcare (Hospital Radiological System Expansion).
These notices, together with the Lublin CT upgrade, suggest that AI is being woven into existing PACS and radiology systems rather than deployed in isolation. Voice recognition, automated report completion, AI-assisted image analysis and large fleets of review workstations are treated as building blocks for broader digital transformation.
The teleconsultation component in the Lublin tender points to growing emphasis on sharing imaging expertise across sites. A dedicated system for CT teleconsultations can enable remote reads, second opinions and multidisciplinary collaboration, particularly for complex oncological or cardiological cases.
Other recent procurements show how teleconsultation sits alongside broader data-sharing infrastructures. In January 2026, Instytut "Pomnik-Centrum Zdrowia Dziecka" tendered for expansion of its HIS system to enable the transmission of electronic medical documentation (EDM) and DICOM data to the national P1 platform, requiring a single contractor for software delivery and services to secure compatibility and reliability (Expansion of HIS System).
Digital imaging access is also a central theme in the Białostockie Centrum Onkologii contract from January 2026, which covers software, licences and equipment to enhance multiple systems, including the HIS, chemotherapy management, pathology and online imaging platforms, as well as various integrations (Digital Transformation for Oncology Center).
Against this backdrop, the Lublin hospital’s decision to invest specifically in CT teleconsultation suggests an effort to ensure its imaging output can be more easily shared and discussed across regional or specialist networks, while staying anchored in the hospital’s own CT infrastructure.
The CT expansion in Lublin is part of a broader pattern of investments in hospital information systems, PACS and data infrastructure. Many providers are using procurements to align imaging systems with wider digital strategies, often labelled as digital transformation projects in healthcare.
In January 2026, Samodzielny Publiczny Zespół Opieki Zdrowotnej w Brzesku issued a contract for expansion and modernisation of its PACS system, including software updates, new modules, installation, configuration and ongoing support, with explicit reference to environmental and equality principles (Expansion of PACS System). COPERNICUS Podmiot Leczniczy followed days later with a PACS expansion focused on 2D and 3D procedure planning modules and associated technical support (Hospital IT System Expansion).
At the same time, Wojewódzki Szpital Specjalistyczny im. Błogosławionego Księdza Jerzego Popiełuszki we Włocławku has gone to market for an extension of its RIS/PACS system, including extra online PACS licences, enhanced integration with the Intelligent Services Platform and a new backup system with a three-year warranty and support (Expansion of PACS/RIS System).
Cybersecurity and data processing infrastructure are also prominent. Kutnowski Szpital Samorządowy has tendered for expansion of its HIS system, digitisation of medical documentation, upgrades to data processing infrastructure and cybersecurity improvements (HIS System Expansion and Cybersecurity). SZPITAL POWIATOWY W ZAWIERCIU has focused on expanding data collection from POCT analysers and cardiac monitors, integrating them with the hospital system and providing licences, training and technical support (Data Collection Systems Expansion).
For suppliers, the Lublin CT expansion therefore sits within a market that is increasingly demanding integrated, standards-based solutions that link imaging, clinical documentation, national data platforms and cybersecurity measures.
As 1 Wojskowy Szpital Kliniczny z Polikliniką SPZOZ w Lublinie moves ahead with its CT system expansion, the contract will be one to watch for how AI-assisted reporting and teleconsultation are embedded into daily radiology practice. Together with parallel tenders for AI tools, PACS upgrades and digital documentation across Polish hospitals, it suggests that imaging is becoming a test-bed for wider hospital digital transformation.
Future procurements are likely to show whether AI support, teleconsultation and deep integration with platforms such as P1, PUI and Intelligent Services Platforms become standard requirements for diagnostic systems, or remain limited to leading centres. For now, the Lublin tender underlines that CT investments are no longer just about scanners and shielding, but about software, connectivity and new ways of working.
