The model has shown early promise, producing a five-fold increase in radiologists’ reported rate of finding significant errors. 

Experts recently made their pitch for informatics as a burnout-buster in a new analysis, set to be published in February’s Clinical Imaging. 

The auditors found VA staff did not abide by guidelines for nearly 106,000 requests for radiology and nuclear medicine tests, resulting in tests that were delayed or not performed, according to reporting from USA Today.

Researchers with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, in Boston, recently made that discovery through a years-long experiment involving tens of thousands of patients. 

CT colonography’s uphill climb may only get steeper, as researchers have achieved 100% accuracy identifying cancers below the surface of colorectal tissue by combining optical coherence tomography with deep learning.

Hospitals and health systems taking the leap into enterprise imaging have some pressing questions to consider, including who controls the imaging data?

With so many gunshot victims requiring some type of imaging, radiologists can play a “pivotal” role in addressing this epidemic of violence, including building a database to better track violence’s aftermath. 

Forty years after physicist Allan Cormack and electrical engineer Godfrey Hounsfield jointly won a Nobel Prize for inventing computed tomography as we know it, the modality continues to generate new or improved uses and iterations. RBJ spoke with several trailblazers who are still plumbing the depths of CT applications.
