Radiologists learn the art of managing change
Working with bleeding-edge digital technology has required radiologists to master the art of change management. Whether it's using reading protocols to tame the ever-growing stream of imaging data or navigating the tricky process of replacing an outdated PACS with a new one, the tools and strategies that help manage a rapidly evolving digital department can be found in this PACS and informatics supplement.

Whether it's using reading protocols to tame the ever-growing stream of imaging data or navigating the tricky process of replacing an outdated PACS with a new one, the tools and strategies that help manage a rapidly evolving digital department can be found in this PACS and informatics supplement.
The increase in PACS implementations means that departments must deal with patients toting their images from other institutions on a variety of CD formats. An article on the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise initiative describes its continuing efforts to provide a blueprint for interoperability between different products and systems with its new profiles for portable imaging data and for sharing medical documents across the enterprise.
And in an in-depth interview, Dr. Keith Dreyer, vice chair of radiology computing and information sciences at Massachusetts General Hospital, describes how reading protocols can bring efficiency, consistency, and accuracy to a radiology department's changing digital landscape.

MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
