Radiologists worldwide are facing mounting workloads, with exam volumes rising and workforce numbers struggling to keep pace. At the RSNA 2025 annual meeting in Chicago, a dedicated session explored how departments can improve efficiency using tried-and-tested methods – without waiting for artificial intelligence to arrive.
Computational pathology is becoming increasingly important in helping deliver precision medicine to a wider range of patients. Experts at the 37th European Congress of Pathology in Vienna discussed how algorithms can optimise laboratory workflows, generate stronger evidence for molecular tumour boards, and enhance clinical trial design.
The Blood Transfusion service at Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB) has implemented Clinisys WinPath LIMS, marking the first deployment of this system in Wales.
The promise of AI in healthcare is enormous – however, most who have actually worked with today's models will agree that the technology is not quite there yet. At MEDICA, a panel of AI experts and healthcare leaders tackled a fundamental question: What stands between AI's current state and its potential as a reliable healthcare companion? The discussion revealed that technical…
When radiologists at Stockholm's Capio Sankt Görans Hospital began working evenings and weekends to clear mounting backlogs, it became clear that something had to change. The solution? Replacing one of the two radiologists traditionally assigned to read breast cancer screenings with artificial intelligence (AI). The results: fewer false positives, more cancers detected, and radiologists…
Two major Dutch hospitals, Catharina Ziekenhuis in Eindhoven and University Medical Center (UMC) Utrecht, are integrating artificial intelligence (AI) from Qure.ai into their chest X-ray workflows.
Rising attendance in mammography screening programmes attest to the fact that women understand the importance of early breast cancer detection. However, the resulting workload increase is a growing challenge for many women’s imaging centres. At the 2025 SBI (Society of Breast Imaging) Symposium, breast imaging specialist Stamatia V. Destounis, MD, discussed her practice’s coping strategies.
Canon announces the launch of the Aquilion One / Insight Edition 160, a new addition to its computed tomography (CT) portfolio. The new system made its debut at Röntgenveckan (Stockholm, Sweden).
As digital transformation accelerates across healthcare, AIRA Matrix stands at the forefront of artificial intelligence innovation in pathology. The company will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of AI-driven diagnostic and analytical solutions at the upcoming European Congress of Pathology in Vienna this September.
Patient communication facilitated by chatbots, image quality optimized by machine learning: Artificial intelligence (AI) is entering radiology at breakneck speed, transforming the specialty almost beyond recognition. So, how will the future of diagnostic imaging under AI look like, and which role will humans still play in it? At the ECR congress in Vienna, experts explored the societal and…
AI-driven scribes that record patient visits and draft clinical notes for physician review may lead to significant reductions in physician burnout and improvements in well-being, a new study finds.
Laboratories across Europe are embracing sustainability through paperless workflows and automation. In this guest article, Gavin Hirst, Clinical Flow Cytometry Account Manager at Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, shares his thoughts on how digital transformation and eco-friendly practices not only advance climate goals but enhance efficiency, allowing scientists to focus on critical research rather…
Digital pathology software company Fujifilm Healthcare Europe and Ibex Medical Analytics, specializing in AI-powered cancer diagnostics, announce a formal partnership to support efficient and accurate cancer diagnosis.
What if every radiographer could help combat climate change while performing their daily work? Following the congress theme of ECR 2025, experts revealed how small changes – from education initiatives to simple workflow adjustments – can collectively transform the environmental impact of radiology.
Cataracts are often treated via SICS surgery in low- and middle-income countries, which often leads to poorer results due to limited resources and training. A new AI-based tool aims to improve this.
As Emergency Departments (EDs) get ever busier, focus has fallen on the role artificial Intelligence (AI) can play in supporting patients and clinicians in delivering urgent care. The topic took centre stage in a session looking at the ethics of AI in the ED at the annual congress of the European Society of Emergency Medicine (EUSEM) in Copenhagen.
Assistive AI systems are designed to ease the workload of physicians. However, implementation of the technology could actually worsen challenges related to error prevention and burnout, experts warn.
A greater emphasis on AI and sustainability, new approaches to mitigating staff shortage and more: At the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2025 in Vienna, Philips showcased its approaches to several critical issues in diagnostic imaging. The global healthtech company presented solutions addressing today's healthcare challenges while aligning with the congress's "Planet…
In today’s fast-paced healthcare landscape, efficiency and accuracy are essential in overcoming workload challenges. Pathology laboratories are under pressure to keep up with growing demands, all while ensuring standardised, consistent and high-quality results.
