Rethinking Imaging Growth in the AI Era: Pivoting to a Pay Per Study Model

In cooperation with TierPoint and Pure Storage

We all know that imaging data is growing at an unprecedented pace with AI accelerating the curve. For healthcare organizations, this means more pressures on storage, infrastructure, performance and long-term planning. Our panel of imaging leaders will introduce a new model that rethinks how imaging data is stored and accessed, with the goal of supporting both innovation and cost predictability.

Hospital system catches 70% of lung cancer cases in earliest stage, thanks to AI intervention

The solution was developed to be adaptable within the EHR, enabling improved communication of incidental findings beyond just pulmonary nodules to include other high-risk findings. 

cybercrime data breaches in healthcare

One of America’s oldest continuously operating radiology groups suffers apparent cyberattack

Radiology Associates of Richmond, Virginia, first discovered the breach in May following an extensive forensic investigation. 

The American Heart Association (AHA) has launched a nationwide data-driven research competition to uncover how inflammation contributes to cardiovascular risk and how it is currently addressed in clinical practice. The initiative, called the Systemic Inflammation Data Challenge, invites data scientists, clinicians, and researchers to leverage advanced analytics and electronic medical record (EMR) data to better understand the impact of systemic inflammation on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

AHA data challenge explores links between inflammation and heart disease

Are care teams doing enough to take on inflammation? The American Heart Association hopes this new research initiative can help answer that question, and many others.
