The CT, MR, ultrasound and x-ray images essential for clinical decision making contain sensitive patient information embedded within the DICOM metadata. As healthcare organisations increasingly collaborate across institutions and use imaging data for research, education and AI development, protecting patient privacy has become a priority, states medical technology company Rosenfield Health. This is where DICOM […]

As International Women’s Day approaches, radiology finds itself at a pivotal moment, says medical technology company Rosenfield Health. The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) 2023/24 census showed that women represented 42 per cent of the diagnostic consultant workforce. However, retention remains a hurdle and the RCR reports that the workforce remains undersupplied by 30 per […]

Medical technology company Rosenfield Health believes equipping PACS managers and radiologists with the tools to ensure ultrasound data integrity will help overcome the frustration of dealing with incorrect patient data or time-consuming anonymisation processes. Rosenfield says it has seen the way that equipping teams with the right software can completely change the tone of data […]

Heavy workloads, staff shortages and increasing complexity have made radiology one of the most demanding fields in medicine, according to medical technology company Rosenfield Health. “With Men’s Health Awareness Month in November, now is a good time to recognise that mental health in medicine, particularly among radiologists, deserves more attention. Many radiologists are working longer […]

The challenge: a data bottleneck in AI development National Imaging Academy Wales (NIAW) is a hub for training, innovation and research, facilitating increased radiologist training capacity and supporting training of clinicians for NHS Wales in many aspects of diagnostic imaging. The imaging academy has had an increasing role in AI developments since opening in 2018, […]

Healthcare is responsible for around 4.4 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to non-governmental organisation Healthcare Without Harm. Imaging departments powered by energy-intensive PACS contribute a significant share of this, says Rosenfield Health. Short-lived hardware cycles and high electricity consumption increase carbon burden, so initiatives that streamline data processing and extend equipment lifespans […]

We are in an era where AI is rapidly transforming healthcare, particularly in diagnostic imaging, where machine learning models assist radiologists in detecting diseases faster and more accurately. The UK’s new National Data Library, as reported by BBC News, will provide AI models with access to anonymised NHS health data. However, AI’s full potential depends […]
