In today’s era of quality over quantity, it’s important for radiologists to demonstrate their value by delivering high-quality radiology reports to clinicians. In some specialties, however, the clinicians don’t always necessarily view the full radiology reports or the images that accompany the reports.

Creating a disease-specific pulmonary embolism (PE) chest CT angiography (CTA) reporting template resulted in more complete studies, according to recent research. It also improved image quality.

Clinicians view radiology reports more frequently than the actual images, suggesting these interpretations from radiologists are more valuable, according to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

A pair of researchers from the University of Virginia Health System asked themselves if the “archaic” form of communication could be upgraded.

Healthcare organizations’ adherence to the Office for the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) Safety Assurance Factors for EHR Resilience (SAFER) guidelines is low, according to a study published April 26 in the Journal of Information in Health and Biomedicine.

Imaging reports may eat up the bulk of a radiologist’s day-to-day duties, but, according to a pair of Charlottesville, Virginia, clinicians, supplementing those reports with interactive multimedia could actually boost efficiency while adding value to conventional reporting.

In a profession where success hinges on quality imaging surveillance, a lack of universally accepted guidelines often gives way to inconsistent reporting in radiology rooms—but a group of clinicians thinks artificial intelligence could be cleaning up workflow.

Public Health England (PHE) announced this week that, since 2009, approximately 450,000 women around the age of 70 were not sent invitations to participate in the United Kingdom's NHS breast screening program. The issue, caused by “a complex IT problem,” was identified in January.
