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.

Psychiatry, neuroradiology researchers find imaging markers of inheritable depression

Children are at heightened risk of major clinical depression when at least one parent has a history of the disorder. New research shows depression markers appearing on structural and functional brain MRI ahead of symptoms in these “familial risk” offspring from infancy through early adulthood.

What is the radiologist's role in variations of prostate cancer detection?

Prior studies have focused on radiologist performance rather than patient outcomes, leaving the topic of variable diagnoses and what factors impact them—race, ethnicity, age, biopsy type, etc.—open for debate. 

Total body PET/CT scans may offer benefits for evaluating arthritis

Low-dose scans showed high agreement with joint-by-joint rheumatological evaluations. 

 

Brain imaging scans unlock mysteries about depression and resilience

The new findings may contain important implications for neuromodulation therapies to treat depression symptoms.

VIDEO: Use cases and implementation strategies for radiology artificial intelligence

Charles Kahn, Jr., MD, editor of the the journal Radiology: Artificial Intelligence, and professor and vice chair of radiology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, explains the work involved integrating AI in radiology systems and the role of AI in augmenting patient care.
 

Charles E. Kahn, Jr., MD, MS, editor of the the RSNA journal Radiology: Artificial Intelligence, and professor and vice chair of radiology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. He discusses the need to validate artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms with your own patient population to determine if it is accurate for a specific institutions patients. He also explains how bias can be inadvertently added into a algorithm, and how the AI may take learning shortcuts. #AI
