Cynthia E. Keen[email protected]ISInternational survey shows increase in healthcare IT utilizationPrimary care physicians around the world have been investing in health information technology, a 10-country survey sponsored by the Commonwealth Fund has found. Changes in health system performance will be critical to healthcare reform, according to the findings published in Health Affairs.November 15, 2012ISRadPod software aids in preparing reportsThursday, November 29 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSQ10-09 | Room S403AA group from Massachusetts General Hospital has developed software that provides a summary of positive report findings during dictation, allowing radiologists to create and verify their impression before finalizing the report.November 15, 2012ISUsing NLP to identify information missing from radiology reportsThursday, November 29 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSQ10-07 | Room S403AIn this scientific session, researchers will describe how a natural language processing (NLP) tool can identify "missing" core semantic elements in reports assessing bone tumors on radiographs. Such a tool used along with speech recognition could provide real-time feedback and help improve the quality of reports.November 15, 2012ISNew medical transcriptionists may adapt better to SR system editingWednesday, November 28 | 5:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m. | LL-INS-WE2D | Lakeside Learning CenterJust how accurate and efficient are medical transcriptionists when they assume the role of speech recognition (SR) system report editor? This question was newly revisited in a study conducted in South Korea.November 15, 2012ISInternational standards for radiology reporting show progressWednesday, November 28 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | LL-INS-WE7B | Lakeside Learning CenterAs part of the initiative to develop best-practice structured report templates, RSNA has been promoting the need to develop a set of international standards for radiology reporting. This poster presentation will review the progress of these efforts.November 15, 2012ISUsing a modular approach makes structured reporting successfulWednesday, November 28 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | LL-INS-WE5A | Lakeside Learning CenterUsing modules as building blocks to build templates and reports may help overcome some of the barriers to the adoption of structured reporting, and this poster presentation will explain how it's done.November 15, 2012ISTurnaround times improve when stroke codes are prioritizedWednesday, November 28 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSK07-09 | Room S405ABStaten Island University Hospital is a designated stroke center, with high expectations to produce the fastest turnaround time possible. The radiology department has turned to informatics to reduce its reporting process time -- from when the exam is complete to delivery of the report -- from an average time of 10 to 12 minutes to about five minutes.November 15, 2012ISSoftware tool expedites consensus peer reviewWednesday, November 28 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSK07-07 | Room S405ABThis scientific session will describe a software tool that has enabled broad adoption of a consensus-oriented group peer review process within the large radiology department of Massachusetts General Hospital. The department holds about 30 conferences each week to discuss the peer review of about 140 cases.November 15, 2012ISStudy shows RIS reduces effect of 'hangovers' at imaging centersTuesday, November 27 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSJ13-05 | Room S402ABIncomplete data is one of the key culprits of delays in report turnaround time, but today's generation of RIS software can minimize its negative impact, a Rochester, NY, imaging center discovered.November 15, 2012ISLesion-tracking tool reduces errors and increases efficiencyTuesday, November 27 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSJ13-03 | Room S402ABAn annotation and image markup lesion-tracking tool measuring changes in size, or lack thereof, in tumors shown on diagnostic imaging exams of cancer patients is producing significant improvements in oncologic lesion measurement efficiency, as well as reductions in documentation errors, at the University of Chicago.November 15, 2012Previous PagePage 8 of 88Next PageTop StoriesInterventionalStenting shows little benefit over medical therapy for reducing strokeStent placement doesn't reduce risk of recurrent stroke more than medical therapy in patients with narrowing of arteries in the brain.Womens ImagingMRI predicts treatment response for triple-negative breast cancerMRICardiac MRI shows heart damage caused by air pollutionUltrasoundCEUS impacts 2D shear-wave elastography liver assessmentAIHow accurate are AI-generated depictions of radiologists?
