Many radiologists have already viewed clinical images on their iPhones, but a study by researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College finds that there are plenty of other applications, ranging from study aides to clinical data lookups, that may be of value to practicing imagers.

DR Systems, an independent provider of medical information management systems, debuted a new image management system based on cloud computing Monday afternoon at the 2009 RSNA conference.

The number of unidentified, not corrected errors in radiology reports of spine MRIs is significantly higher than that of corrected errors, according to a study presented at the RSNA meeting on Monday.

If it’s round, has a hole in it, and isn’t a bagel or donut in the break room, chances are it’s a CD brought into the practice by a patient. According to Dr. Bradley Erickson from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, the use of compact discs to transfer diagnostic imaging data has seen a steady increase over the past decade.

Imaging suite dashboards that incorporate business intelligence to automate more steps could speed up and improve imaging processes, according to a Monday presentation at the RSNA meeting.

Developing a structured and rigorous peer-review quality assurance process that involves ongoing case presentations, open discussion, and consensus opinions can help to decrease perception errors and improve the interpretive skills of breast imagers, according to radiologists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.

Preoperative meniscal extrusion and the severity of cartilage loss and bone marrow edema can be trusted to predict the outcomes of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in middle-aged and elderly patients.

A group of radiologists from Boston Medical Center is using interventional techniques to treat bleeding Jehovah’s Witness patients.

Radiologists may soon be able to use an Apple iPhone application to view CT images when traditional imaging software is inconvenient or inaccessible, according to a study presented Monday at the 2009 RSNA meeting. The researchers found radiologists were able to accurately diagnose acute appendicitis from a distant location using the OsiriX Mobile application.
