Imaging Informatics

Imaging informatics (also known as radiology informatics, a component of wider medical or healthcare informatics) includes systems to transfer images and radiology data between radiologists, referring physicians, patients and the entire enterprise. This includes picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), wider enterprise image systems, radiology information. systems (RIS), connections to share data with the electronic medical record (EMR), and software to enable advanced visualization, reporting, artificial intelligence (AI) applications, analytics, exam ordering, clinical decision support, dictation, and remote image sharing and viewing systems.

Radiology Partners launches new technology services division
The country’s largest imaging group—with 4,000 radiologists working across all 50 states—is rolling out an offshoot called Mosaic Clinical Technologies.
GPT-4o's 'all or nothing' accuracy continues to hinder its radiologic capabilities
The model has been trained to process and generate text, images and audio, which has made it a target for researchers seeking ways to improve both radiology workflows and access to quality care in rural settings.
The FDA has cleared more than 1,200 clinical AIs—and submissions are increasing
In the past year, there has been a record number of new medical AI submissions, resulting in 300 new clinical AI clearances. The number of submissions has been steadily rising over the past decade.
Cardiology still No. 2 in FDA-cleared clinical AI algorithms, trailing only radiology
Cardiology continues to be one of the most influential healthcare specialties when it comes to utilizing artificial intelligence.
Eye-tracking reveals radiologists' reading habits when utilizing AI support
Rather than test artificial intelligence's ability to detect malignant lesions on imaging, researchers instead recently explored how it impacts radiologists' interpretation processes.

Zebra Medical Vision, Medsynapic begin new AI partnership

4 important steps when implementing standardized imaging protocols

Standardized imaging protocols can help healthcare providers deliver high-quality care at a consistent rate, but getting everyone on the same page is often challenging.

RI-RADS would let radiologists grade physicians' imaging orders

When physicians place orders for imaging examinations, they often leave out key information that could help the radiologist provide better patient care. The authors of a new analysis published in the European Journal of Radiology have proposed a standardized grading system, the Reason for exam Imaging Reporting and Data System (RI-RADS), that could combat this issue.

AI tracks when radiology reports include follow-up recommendations

Natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning can help track when free-text radiology reports include follow-up imaging recommendations, according to a new study published in the Journal of Digital Imaging.

How AI can improve adherence to follow-up imaging recommendations

Researchers have developed an algorithm that identifies if follow-up imaging recommendations are adhered to or not, sharing their findings in the Journal of Digital Imaging.

A new approach: Audiovisual radiology reports earn high marks from physicians

Audiovisual radiology reports can provide significant value when used in addition to traditional reports, according to new findings published by the Journal of Digital Imaging.

Imaging Informatics Summit to highlight AI's impact on patient care

The American College of Radiology (ACR) has shared more information about the 2019 Imaging Informatics Summit, noting that the event is focused on the direct impact AI technologies and data can have on patient care.

Couple wins $8.5M in medical malpractice suit after radiology report ignored
