“This system has made everything much more transparent in that we can see everyone in every area of the hospital and it makes every area much more transparent because we can see what’s happening,” interventional radiologist Ellen Francesconi, MD, told HealthImaging.

New clinical decision support system (CDS) mandates are on the horizon with an aim to reign in unnecessary imaging. But how feasible and clinically effective are these systems?

The authors of a new study in Academic Radiology developed a clinical decision support (CDS) algorithm to help physicians reduce overutilized imaging examinations in the emergency department (ED). The physicians, however, consistently disregarded its recommendations.

A majority of patients wish to be notified about breast arterial calcifications (BACs) found on mammography, according to recent research published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Updated Joint Commission requirements have left healthcare providers across the United States working to standardize imaging protocols and analyze why some CT exams exceed predetermined radiation dose thresholds.

The health information of several patients was exposed following two phishing attacks at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

Despite growing concerns over data security, nearly 80 percent of people are in favor of medical devices that immediately alert physicians of significant changes in health.

While the sharing of patient data is a crucial part of clinical research, researchers still deal with several challenges that prevent their work from moving forward. There may be one solution that has the potential to address each challenge—blockchain.
