Public Health England (PHE) revealed last week that approximately 450,000 women around the age of 70 were not sent invitations to receive breast cancer screening due to an IT issue that was first identified in January. Since that news was announced, according to one PHE official, almost 14,000 women have reached out for more information.

In today’s era of quality over quantity, it’s important for radiologists to demonstrate their value by delivering high-quality radiology reports to clinicians. In some specialties, however, the clinicians don’t always necessarily view the full radiology reports or the images that accompany the reports.

Imaging reports may eat up the bulk of a radiologist’s day-to-day duties, but, according to a pair of Charlottesville, Virginia, clinicians, supplementing those reports with interactive multimedia could actually boost efficiency while adding value to conventional reporting.

In a profession where success hinges on quality imaging surveillance, a lack of universally accepted guidelines often gives way to inconsistent reporting in radiology rooms—but a group of clinicians thinks artificial intelligence could be cleaning up workflow.

Public Health England (PHE) announced this week that, since 2009, approximately 450,000 women around the age of 70 were not sent invitations to participate in the United Kingdom's NHS breast screening program. The issue, caused by “a complex IT problem,” was identified in January.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced Monday, April 30, that a new online feature allows veterans to access their own medical images and any associated reports.

Radiologists could improve workflow efficiency—a factor key to improving quality and care in the imaging environment—by prioritizing overarching issues within their practices and focusing on simple solutions, a pair of Boston-based clinicians wrote in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) has added the International Medical Solutions (IMS) Educational Toolkit to its technology portfolio for medical imaging education, IMS announced Wednesday, April 25.
