Primer explains exactly what informaticians do
Informatics expert Dr. Barton F. Branstetter IV of the University of Pittsburgh offers a primer on imaging informatics to radiologists who are unaware of what radiologist-informaticians do and how it affects the practice of medicine.
Informatics expert Dr. Barton F. Branstetter IV of the University of Pittsburgh offers a primer on imaging informatics to radiologists who are unaware of what radiologist-informaticians do and how it affects the practice of medicine (Radiology 2007 Apr 12; Epub ahead of print).
"Informatics has become critical as radiology has progressed to a digital environment, and the implications are felt not just daily but constantly within the reading room", Branstetter said.
To use PACS more effectively, radiologists must understand the technology underlying the digital environment because these principles affect major purchasing decisions, not only about PACS but also supporting software and modalities themselves, he said.
The American Board of Radiology has reacted to the importance of imaging informatics by considering the inclusion of informatics questions in its written exam.
Can AI Enhance PET/MRI Assessment for Extraprostatic Tumor Extension in Patients with PCa?
December 17th 2024The use of an adjunctive machine learning model led to 17 and 21 percent improvements in the AUC and sensitivity rate, respectively, for PET/MRI in diagnosing extraprostatic tumor extension in patients with primary prostate cancer.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
