Radiology that facilitates the sharing of resources and touchpoints within an enterprise but across geographic locales is the future of the specialty, according to two Harvard radiology researchers.

Accelerated MRI with AI image reconstruction nearly halved orthopedic scan times while maintaining or even improving image quality in a newly published prospective study. 

Backed with financial support and technical prowess from the U.S. Department of Energy, NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes has shown it can produce, at scale, a critical nuclear imaging radiotracer without using highly enriched uranium.

The unfolding scenario is packing some serious threats to the livelihoods of the unprepared.   

A commercially available AI package has proven adept at distinguishing between two closely similar but unequally urgent conditions on chest X-rays.

Steve Jobs once famously said that you have to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. I am a strong believer in this mantra as it serves imaging providers very well when we think of our radiologists as our “internal customers.” How can we create a better work experience? Where can we remove annoyances, eliminate distractions, or improve efficiency?  

Clinicians who routinely manage patients screened for lung cancer with low-dose CT have a new 1-page printout to illuminate evidence-based care pathways when faced with significant but questionably urgent incidental findings.
