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.

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.
PET imaging provider hit with multi-state phishing attack
Nashville, Tennessee-based Integrated Oncology Network alerted Health and Human Services in late June about the hacking incident, with thousands potentially affected.
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.

AI improves radiology workflow by standardizing reporting recommendations

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.

450,000 women not sent invitations to take part in UK breast screening program

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.

Veterans can now view, download their own medical images

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.

New VA feature lets veterans view, download medical images

Veterans with premium accounts will now have access to their medical images and associated study reports online via the My HealtheVet portal, according to a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) news release.

Integrating PACS with EMR saves time, improves access to data

Research published in the Journal of Digital Imaging found integrating PACS with an electronic medical record (EMR) not only saved radiologists time—it allowed for more frequent EMR access and ultimately improved care.

The 'Pareto principle' may improve radiology workflow

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.

PACS-EMR integration saves radiologists time, improves EMR utilization

Integration of PACS with an electronic medical record (EMR) is associated with saving radiologists time and helping them access the EMR more frequently, according to a new study in the Journal of Digital Imaging.
