Enterprise Imaging

Enterprise imaging brings together all imaging exams, patient data and reports from across a healthcare system into one location to aid efficiency and economy of scale for data storage. This enables immediate access to images and reports any clinical user of the electronic medical record (EMR) across a healthcare system, regardless of location. Enterprise imaging (EI) systems replace the former system of using a variety of disparate, siloed picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), radiology information systems (RIS), and a variety of separate, dedicated workstations and logins to view or post-process different imaging modalities. Often these siloed systems cannot interoperate and cannot easily be connected. Web-based EI systems are becoming the standard across most healthcare systems to incorporate not only radiology, but also cardiology (CVIS), pathology and dozens of other departments to centralize all patient data into one cloud-based data storage and data management system.

Concerns raised over how hospitals can validate radiology AI algorithms

As artificial intelligence (AI) adoption expands in radiology, there is growing concern that AI algorithms need to undergo quality assurance (QA) reviews.

Bibb Allen, MD, FACR, chief medical officer of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute, and former ACR president, explains how hospitals or radiology departments can conduct quality assurance (QA) assessments on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms they adopt to ensure they are accurate. The ACR established the Assess-AI Registry and AI-Lab to help with validating and tracking AI QA for FDA-cleared algorithms.
