New research suggests screening kids for cervical spine injury (CSI) risk factors could reduce unnecessary CT scans by 50%, significantly limiting radiation exposure.

Parents of pediatric radiology patients value speed over all other aspects of radiology results reporting, according to findings from a new survey published Aug. 14 in Academic Radiology.

When radiologists have complete imaging histories of their patients they are more likely to provide better interpretations, but such information is often incomplete and inconsistent.

INFINITT North America, an award-winning developer of Enterprise Imaging solutions for radiology, cardiology, mammography and advINFINITT North America, award-winning developer of enterprise imaging solutions for radiology, cardiology, mammography, pathology and advanced visualization, will be implementing INFINITT RIS/PACS and INFINITT Mammo PACS at six Lake Medical Imaging facilities in The Villages and Leesburg, Florida.

A fully automated algorithm can accurately detect microcalcification clusters in mammogram scans and may help reduce radiology workloads.

“For radiologists, who generally perform routine activities, involvement in clinical trials increases their workload and raises human resources issues at hospitals which are already running chronic medical deficits,” wrote authors of a new study published in the European Journal of Radiology.

Clinical decision support (CDS) tools can improve the appropriateness scores of advanced imaging orders when used in clinical practice, according to a single-center analysis published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Blockchain could be used to streamline preauthorization, share images between institutions and empower patients. But if healthcare as a whole isn't interested in sharing data, no technology can solve the industry's imaging informatics problems.
