January 13, 2020 — When a non-scientist tries to imagine a scientist, the image that often arises is one of a somewhat remote, rather idealistic genius sitting alone in their room or laboratory and somehow discovering the most amazing things without every having contact with the 'normal' world. But science is just as much a part of life as any other activity. So it's perhaps not all that surprising to learn that — just like in normal life — intuition can occasionally play a major role in scientific progress.

 

 

Talking about the benefits of quick, reliable image sharing among hospitals was how Duke University Health System grew its network of hospitals with this capability from 3 to some 500 sites between 2016 and the end of last year.

The initial outreach efforts underlying this dramatic change were decidedly old school, according to Hope Holiday Harten, administrative manager for radiology at Duke University Health System.

After languishing for years, enterprise imaging appears ready to enter the mainstream of health care.

January 8, 2020 — The $18 billion radiology industry continues to face a growing threat of consolidation, resulting in larger practices, higher medical costs, diminished patient care and increased physician burnout. In response, Collaborative Imaging has formed a sustainable business model that promises to end radiology consolidation by ensuring practices can sustain autonomy while providing an investment vehicle that protects continued financial success.
