Dr. Neelam Dugar[email protected]Industry NewsHow to deliver on regional image sharingImage exchange portals are the vendor-neutral solution for sharing radiology images and reports in a multivendor environment. The PACS community is working together to make such exchanges possible, but vendors must learn to collaborate more effectively, writes Dr. Neelam Dugar.July 9, 2019Artificial IntelligenceAI image interpretation platforms come of ageImage interpretation systems involving artificial intelligence (AI) have improved dramatically, and huge potential now exists for boosting patient management decisions with image preanalysis by AI algorithms, writes Dr. Neelam Dugar. Adopting common standards is vital, however.May 14, 2019Artificial IntelligenceAI algorithms begin to loom large in radiologyComputer scientists are busy at work creating a myriad of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. Due to stringent regulations, very few algorithms have appeared yet to support clinical practice, but this looks set to change soon. Dr. Neelam Dugar investigates in a new column.June 26, 2018Artificial IntelligencePACS with AI can replace PACS without AIArtificial intelligence (AI) can help solve the huge reporting backlog, but this requires industry's cooperation, writes Dr. Neelam Dugar. PACS with AI will replace PACS without AI in the next five to 10 years, so don't get left behind, she urges.January 7, 2018Clinical NewsUpdate: Record retention in vendor-neutral archiveRadiology departments are relatively advanced when it comes to digital transformation, but in the absence of meaningful algorithms for record retention, the unnecessary large size of imaging data kept online is likely to cost hospitals large amounts of cash, writes columnist Dr. Neelam Dugar.June 7, 2017Artificial IntelligenceWhy all the fuss about artificial intelligence?There's been a lot of talk recently about artificial intelligence in radiology. The question on everybody's mind is: "Will artificial intelligence replace radiologists?" Imaging informatics columnist Dr. Neelam Dugar is convinced it will add value by making radiologists smarter and better diagnosticians.May 9, 2017Clinical NewsPaperless hospitals: VNA suppliers can learn from PACSVendor-neutral archive (VNA) companies are forging ahead with a vision of paperless hospitals. Vendors collaborating and adopting the standards-based approach can learn lessons from what made PACS such a global success and can help end users go paperless, writes Dr. Neelam Dugar.April 19, 2016SocioeconomicPACS to PACS images & report sharing in clinical networksIn a modern day health service, patients are often treated in multiple hospitals within a clinical network. However, each hospital's PACS network can act as a data silo that prevents effective exchange of patient data, writes Dr. Neelam Dugar in her latest column.February 28, 2016Clinical NewsHome reporting: Emergency nighttime radiologyThe 2015 U.K. Radiological Congress debate on outsourcing was fascinating, with a myriad of views expressed. But despite what the session moderator may think, home reporting for radiologists has been around for more than 10 years and can bring major benefits, Dr. Neelam Dugar writes.October 5, 2015Clinical NewsTeleradiology platform use expands in networksThe working patterns of radiologists have undergone enormous change. Remote or homeworking is gaining acceptance, but some observers think radiologists must be located within radiology departments to support radiographers, says Dr. Neelam Dugar.March 30, 2015Page 1 of 3Next PageTop StoriesAdvanced VisualizationChatGPT promising as support tool for researchers getting started in AIChatGPT could serve as an academic reference tool for early-career radiologists and researchers.Advanced VisualizationLLMs outperform medical student in solving imaging casesClinical NewsIrish radiologist, 37, dies of cancerDigital X-RaySymphony of radiology: RSNA unveils art winnersIndustry NewsSiemens targets 3.3B patient touchpoints by 2030
