Enterprise Imaging

Enterprise imaging brings together all imaging exams, patient data and reports from across a healthcare system into one location to aid efficiency and economy of scale for data storage. This enables immediate access to images and reports any clinical user of the electronic medical record (EMR) across a healthcare system, regardless of location. Enterprise imaging (EI) systems replace the former system of using a variety of disparate, siloed picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), radiology information systems (RIS), and a variety of separate, dedicated workstations and logins to view or post-process different imaging modalities. Often these siloed systems cannot interoperate and cannot easily be connected. Web-based EI systems are becoming the standard across most healthcare systems to incorporate not only radiology, but also cardiology (CVIS), pathology and dozens of other departments to centralize all patient data into one cloud-based data storage and data management system.

Use of the scoring system could offer providers valuable preoperative insight and help guide them in surgical decisions.

Manisha Bahl, MD, breast imaging division quality director and breast imaging division co-service chief, Massachusetts General Hospital, and an associate professor of radiology, Harvard Medical School, explains the findings of a recent study she was involved in at RSNA 2024. She also offers insights into growing interest at sessions in using AI in breast imaging.

AI is revolutionizing radiology workflow and patient care

Sponsored by Viz.ai

In the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) is making significant strides in improving radiology workflow and patient care coordination. Nicholas Galante, MD, medical director of informatics at Radiology Associates of North Texas, recently discussed how technology from Viz.ai is transforming his radiology practice, enhancing efficiency, and ultimately benefiting patient outcomes.
