The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto has named Anna Goldenberg, PhD, as its first chair of biomedical informatics and artificial intelligence, the University of Toronto recently announced.

DICOM metadata offers more accurate study information, according to a Jan. 8 study published in the Journal of Digital Imaging. This may ultimately help increase the efficiency of MRI exams while reducing their associated costs.

A Florida-based surgeon must pay a $3,000 fine for removing a woman’s kidney because he thought it was a cancerous mass. The surgeon has pointed out that the patient's radiology results were not at the hospital at the time of the surgery.

Carestream has been awarded a multimillion-dollar healthcare IT contract for Veterans Affairs hospitals in the Pacific Northwest region, which includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska and parts of Montana.

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 8 — Carestream has been awarded a multimillion-dollar healthcare IT contract for Veterans Affairs hospitals in the Pacific Northwest region, which includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska and parts of Montana. Carestream will install its Clinical Collaboration Platform (see video link) throughout VISN 20 healthcare facilities. The implementation of Carestream’s enterprise imaging platform (including Vue PACS, Vue Motion and Vue Archive) will help unify imaging and simplify medical image management.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can help providers identify follow-up recommendations in radiology reports, according to new research published by the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Long wait times can negatively impact patient satisfaction, which then harms the patient-centered, value-based care imaging departments seek to provide. But collecting the necessary data for improvements can be difficult, according to the authors of a case study published in the Journal of Digital Imaging.

Follow-up recommendations in radiology reports commonly contain little standardization. Machine learning and deep learning methods are each effective for deciphering reports and may provide the foundation for real-time recommendation extraction, according to a recent study in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.
