Voice recognition reduces report turnaround time
Even partial use of a voice recognition system can significantly speed up radiologist report generation, enabling more clinicians to view images with the corresponding reports, according to a study presented at the 2005 SCAR meeting.
Even partial use of a voice recognition system can significantly speed up radiologist report generation, enabling more clinicians to view images with the corresponding reports, according to a study presented at the 2005 SCAR meeting.
Twice as many clinicians view images with reports now than was the case prior to installation of voice recognition, according to researchers at Fort Collins Radiologic Associates in Colorado.
Physician use of PACS improved with the addition of partial voice recognition for report generation and with the use of a standardized report form for abdominal/ pelvic CT. The study also reported that the majority of clinicians prefer a structured report style, which they find easier to read, with relevant information easier to find.
Despite the decrease in report turnaround time, investigators found that only half of clinicians always viewed studies with interpretations. Report turnaround time generally remained too slow to keep pace with image availability and clinician demands.
What a New Mammography Study Reveals About BMI, Race, Ethnicity and Advanced Breast Cancer Risk
December 8th 2023In a new study examining population attributable risk proportions (PARPs) based on data from over three million screening mammography exams, researchers found that postmenopausal Black women had the highest BMI-related PARP and premenopausal Asian and Pacific Islander women had the highest breast density-related PARP for advanced breast cancer.
Study: Contrast-Enhanced Mammography Changes Surgical Plan in 22.5 Percent of Breast Cancer Cases
December 7th 2023Contrast-enhanced mammography detected additional lesions in 43 percent of patients and led to additional biopsies in 18.2 percent of patients, over half of whom had malignant lesions, according to a study of over 500 women presented at the recent Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
