One of the problems in radiology today is the selective cherry picking of the easier, more desirable cases from the DICOM worklists and leaving the more complicated studies for other radiologists, which is one of the factors in radiologist burnout.

Elizabeth Bergey, MD, a diagnostic radiologist at Quantum, chairman of Quantum’s board of directors, explains some of the issues that cause burnout and how technology can help mitigate issues that cause radiologists to leave.

Elizabeth Bergey, MD, a diagnostic radiologist at Quantum, chairman of Quantum’s Board of Directors, explains how the radiology group orchestrates its work lists for load balancing using an AI-driven IT system for its work lists.

As FDA-approved AI software continues to proliferate in radiology—well more than 150 products to date and rising—a trio of Yale radiologists has compiled a status report focused on AI applications available to, specifically, emergency radiology.

Iodinated contrast is most widely used in patients undergoing CT studies for, in descending order, abdominopelvic, chest, head/neck and brain indications.

Combining ensemble AI models with reads from breast radiologists of mixed experience levels can help health systems consistently diagnose malignant architectural distortion on mammography.

Of 1,000 patients injected with corticosteroids under fluoroscopic guidance at an academic medical center over a 4½-year period, only 10 experienced serious complications within a year. 

More than 40% of Americans are generally OK with the thought of AI reading their chest x-rays. Moreover, some 12.3% are very comfortable with the prospect.
