This
event will illustrate the complexities of information overload on the
interpretation process for imaging professionals. The session address
the new workflow issues that have risen due to rapid adaptation of
advance and new imaging techniques, such as multi-detector CT, PET/CT
and Cardiac CT/MR imaging. Multiple case scenarios will be shown to
point out how experts deal with the issues of large datasets,
multi-modality, and advanced image processing workflows. The audience
will have a chance to see live how the experts use their favorite
applications to navigate through the mesh of complex cases. The session
is designed to highlight the disruptive workflows that current
radiologists and other clinicians face, mainly as a result of advances
in technology, such as MDCT, molecular imaging, cross-sectional cardiac
imaging, etc. The
session will highlight three workflow scenarios. Cases used in this
session are being made available to the vendors on the
SIIM exhibit floor so that the
meeting attendees can experience workflow issues firsthand and the
vendors can highlight products designed to address these issues.
In addition to cases from
the session, three other cases are being made available.
These cases cover issues related to multimodality
interpretation, large dataset interpretation, and
interruptions during interpretation. Scripts for these
can be downloaded by
clicking here. In addition to the
script, a vendor evaluation spreadsheet is also
available to help easily compare workflows with
different products. You can download the evaluation form
