Protecting Radiology Data and Devices Against Cybersecurity Threats: A Joint White Paper of the ACR and Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine1
Modern radiology relies entirely on digital imaging systems. Health care records draw cybercriminals’ attention. On-site and cloud-based informatics systems, including artificial intelligence, can boost efficiency but also create weak points. Medical imaging systems must safeguard patient identities, control access, secure devices, and coordinate with patients, payers, and billing partners. Endorsed by the ACR and the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine, this white paper outlines steps t…

Communicating diagnostic certainty in radiology reports: Potential frameworks from the American College of Radiology Commission on Quality and Safety
The expression of diagnostic certainty in radiology reports is common and used to inform clinicians and patients about the degree of confidence a radiologist has in a finding or differential diagnosis. However, radiologists express diagnostic certainty in myriad ways, which leads to ambiguity and risk of misdirected clinical management. Standardizing how diagnostic certainty is expressed is likely to improve the fidelity of information transfer between radiologists and referring providers and pa…
