We all understand the value of being connected to a proven, growing network. If we’re tempted to switch to a smaller mobile provider—and who doesn’t want a discount on the latest iPhone?—we’ll be sure to check their coverage and service quality in our local area. The same is true of a network allowing healthcare providers […]
What’s good for the radiologist will be good for the patients Over the last few weeks, we’ve shared a number of insights, best practices, and lessons learned gained from our Solving the Issues webinar series.

Closing the gap in care delivery: An end-to-end approach to incidental findings We often hear stories of patients who visit their emergency department and have a chest CT performed, perhaps to rule out pneumonia or check for internal injuries following a car accident. The radiologist clears the patient but identifies an incidental finding—a lung nodule […]
Diagnostic imaging administrators and care teams continue to look for new ways to solve critical issues like failed follow-up, inefficiency and burnout, and a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. They are pressured to handle today’s challenges while positioning their organizations to handle tomorrow’s unknowns – whatever they may be. Often that means applying technologies in unconventional […]
Like many of you, I read Medscape’s annual Physician Compensation Report and the breakout report covering radiology to get a take on radiologists’ perceptions of issues and trends in payment models, job satisfaction and other areas. One data point in the 2021 report was especially notable. For the first time, “Worrying about being sued” is […]
In Birmingham, Alabama, the Birmingham Radiological Group – GV division has continued to grow. But until 2019, the division’s radiologists still relied one hundred percent on transcription for their radiology reports. According to radiologist Dr. Joel Mixon, the process was inefficient at best. As a resident, he trained on a voice recognition platform, so he […]
On International Women’s Day exactly a year ago today, we were still a few days away from pandemic lockdowns and trying to comprehend the scale and nature of the changes to come. We also did not yet appreciate how well people would work together even while working apart. Each of us had to re-think our […]
Like many things this year, the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) looked and felt different as a fully online virtual experience. That included our team’s participation in sessions and online demonstration of our AI-powered, cloud-based “Radiology Experience of the Future.” The virtual nature of the show and our event was […]
With locations across Arizona, Banner Imaging (Banner) creates more than 600,000 medical imaging studies a year – and with volumes that high, they’ve faced their fair share of radiology workflow challenges along the way. At Banner, it’s not just about standardizing data from numerous diagnostic modalities or normalizing measurement data for precise diagnoses. It’s also […]
At each of the past few RSNA annual meetings, Nuance has introduced important new capabilities and enhancements for our diagnostic solutions portfolio.
