Musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging has increased over the past two decades—and so has its costs to the healthcare system. A recent study in the American Journal of Roentgenology found understanding the unique specialty referral patterns of MSK extremity imaging may help radiology practices optimize and cut unnecessary costs related to the technique.

IT executives have continually expressed fears about data ownership and security flaws of cloud-based solutions, but according to Nadim Michel Daher, an industry principal at Frost & Sullivan, cloud computing in medical imaging will be here sooner than we think.

In a world of increasingly personalized care, patients want top treatment with minimal travel. A team of New York researchers created an in-house Google Maps app that determined the quickest route for patients seeking an appointment for interventional radiology (IR) services.

Researchers from the University of Southern California (USC) have archived and shared the Anatomical Tracings of Lesion After Stroke (ATLAS), an open-source data set of brain MRI from stroke patients, published in Scientific Data.

Sharing the vast amounts of personal healthcare data such as medical images and clinical notes is a technological challenge for traditional electronic health records (EHRs). Other tech giants, such as Apple, might just plan to swoop in and streamline the process.

Invicro, LLC, a Konica Minolta company and a leading provider of imaging services and software for research and drug development, today announced the hiring of Mr. George Abe, as Senior Vice President of Pathology.

What should radiology be expending, in manpower as well as money, to help make medical imaging accessible to and from every clinical department? And what’s in enterprise imaging for radiology, anyway?

Healthcare is continually evolving toward a more collaborative, patient-centered experience which requires digital scans and electronic health records be available quickly.
