JACR Cybersecurity Expert Panels: Cybersecurity Imperatives in Radiology Practices
Today’s radiology systems rely heavily on interconnected electronic systems in order to deliver high-quality patient care. Security risks that interfere with access or jeopardize the integrity of any networked component can negatively impact patient care. Radiology practice is a susceptible target for cybersecurity incidents, and achieving optimal cybersecurity in this era of artificial intelligence requires strong collaboration between radiology practice and vendors. In this JACR Cybersecurity …

Electronic Health Record Improvements to Reduce Emergency Department CT Prescan Times at a Safety Net Hospital
CT is a cornerstone of radiologic imaging in the ED and its utilization has increased over time. CT turnaround times remain a frequent focus for improvement initiatives, especially in resource-limited safety net hospitals (SNH). Due to the critical nature of CT imaging in the care of acutely ill ED patients and significant resource limitations SNHs face, SNHs must focus on process improvements, ideally that unburden their technologists, over additional resources to meet increasing volumes and ri…
