As healthcare continues its hunt to reduce excessive imaging, Yale New Haven Hospital has found its clinical decision support intervention to be remarkably effective.

Advanced Radiology Services has built a data warehouse internally that’s transforming the way its clinicians tackle problems. 

Emory University researchers found their website helped imaging experts understand and implement the brain tumor reporting and data system.

Two imaging experts believe the ledger technology holds some of the same potential to change the field as picture archiving and communication systems did decades ago.

The findings build off of a September 2019 report from German security firm Greenbone Networks, which revealed that more than 730 million medical images were accessible over the internet.

Michigan Medicine's Vivek Kalia, MD, recently made this call to action to his peers in a new Academic Radiology editorial. 

A growing number of studies have found that tumor size measurements using CT imaging are subjected to increasing interobserver variability among radiologists.

When put to the test, the hybrid computer/human system freed up significant time for radiologists, which may translate to more time dedicated to reading studies.
