Pay Attention to Non-Interpretive Skills
They might not be used for diagnosis, but pay attention to -- and sharpen -- your non-interpretive skills. They can create a much better work environment.
It isn’t a secret to any radiologist that the bulk of his or her day is spent in the reading room, pouring over scans, looking for critical findings that can help detect disease or change the course of a patient’s treatment. Those interpretive skills are highly valuable throughout all aspects of healthcare.
But, what about the non-interpretive skills. The ones that don’t go directly into analyzing a CT scan or MRI image? They are equally as vital to successful radiology practice. They can help providers create the most impactful and useful radiology reports, they can create collegial work environments, and they can help a radiologist and his or her colleagues avoid burnout.
In a session during this year’s Radiological Society of North America annual meeting, Dr. Diane Strollo, associate professor of cardiothoracic surgery at the University of Pittsburgh led a panel specifically dedicated to discussing the importance of and implementation of non-interpretive skills. This week, Diagnostic Imaging talked with her about the skills that are most important and the impact they can have.

Current Perspectives on Radiology Workforce Issues and Potential Solutions
March 14th 2024Emphasizing the gravity of the ongoing workforce shortage in radiology, these authors recommend a change agenda focusing on expanded numbers of residency positions, reassessment of educational pathways, maintaining a strong presence in hospital settings and practice level initiatives to reduce administrative burden and achieve appropriate reimbursement beyond RVU measurements.
Could Cloud-Based 'Progressive Loading' be a Boon for Radiology Workflows?
March 13th 2024The newly launched Progressive Loading feature, available through RamSoft’s OmegaAI software, reportedly offers radiologist rapid uploading of images that is faster than on-site networks and other cloud-based systems regardless of the network radiologists are using.
