People often get promoted into supervisory positions and receive very little practical training to be effective in the role. That was a huge motivator for my writing “Creating Passion-Driven Teams.” Identify someone who thinks he or she has “arrived” and has no need to learn more, and I’ll point out someone who’s on the road to stagnation. 

cmTriage from CureMetrix is the first FDA-cleared software intended to provide a notification triage code to the radiologist’s mammography worklist based on the presence of a suspicious region of interest found by the underlying algorithm.

AI algorithm clinical utility will rely upon their seamless and reliable integration into existing clinical reading workflows. Organizations implementing AI algorithms must consider how they will automatically identify, fetch, anonymize, and deliver current and relevant prior studies to AI algorithms, as well as how to reidentify and store algorithm results in a clinical archive.

We are at the beginning of the transformation for medical imaging artificial intelligence (MIAI). Currently, less than 30 percent of U.S. health care providers are using it. I am concerned about training the staff to support this new innovation. Will the current PACS administrators be tasked with the support and care of MIAI?

Krissie D. Stich, MBA, R.T. (R), is the Radiology Director, East Market, University Hospitals. Her career path can be at least partially attributed to her participating in youth athletics.

The weight of discussions about the acquisition of medical imaging equipment frequently is given over to questions of financing, budget cycles, clinical stakeholder interests and revenue. What may be further down the list of considerations, however, are details about the physical environment in which those devices will be housed and from within which they must function.

It is not unusual for jobs in health care to bring one challenge after another. You never know what to expect. It is what keeps me interested and never bored. I know that I learn something new every day because some crazy situation comes up that we have not had happen before. We may need to create a new workflow or find a different way to achieve the same results.

Backed by the breadth of GE Healthcare and the Edison Ecosystem, Edison True PACS brings together image visualization, workflow, artificial intelligence, 3D post processing, and archiving all in a single platform, to provide enterprise functionality at an affordable cost.
