Ever knock down a silo? You have to be quick. And lucky. Very … very … lucky. Maybe that’s why there are so many silos. Outdated. Counterproductive. Standing tall. In science. In business. In personal relationships (exemplified by Facebook pages and the “friends” who traffic them). And in medicine.

The internet and social media have transformed our lives. It has literally opened up a global connection to those with similar interests and passions. In my focused world of patient advocacy for breast health, I meet innumerable women, fervent in their yearly breast cancer screening yet diagnosed with a missed, delayed and advanced stage cancer because of their dense breast tissue. Like me, these women never knew about the impact of dense breast tissue on the reliability of their mammogram until after their diagnosis. Our mission is to correct this fatal flaw in breast cancer screening.

Mammography has long been considered the gold standard for breast cancer detection, acting as the first line of defense for millions of women every year in hopes of catching cancer early. The true efficacy of the modality has come into question in recent years, however, due to increased understanding about the impact of dense fibroglandular breast tissue on screening. This has led to the emergence and/or increased use of other modalities in an effort to improve cancer detection rates above what is currently capable with mammography.

The last two decades have brought a series of changes in medicine, technology and healthcare legislation that have impacted the field of diagnostic imaging and the role of the radiologist. Coupled with these changes, imaging volume is declining1 due to costs as well as concerns over patient radiation exposure.2 This environment often makes it challenging for radiology groups to protect their financial performance and ensure they deliver high-quality studies and readings. Fortunately, advances in imaging and information technology have emerged, helping radiologists increase the utilization of diagnostic imaging and moving the radiologist into a more central role in integrated patient care.3

Precision medicine is not only a buzzword, it is a call to action to radically advance our capabilities in the era of molecular targeted medicine. Positron emission tomography (PET) has firmly established its leading role as a capable oncologic molecular imaging technique over the last two decades, however its technological advances have been modest at best.

The remaining users of film and computed radiography (CR) may get some carrot, if they transition to digital radiography (DR). It may come in the form of improved productivity, reduced X-ray dose to patients and better image quality. But the legislation that may spur the transition is all stick.

Enterprise imaging as a concept has been around for several years, but many organizations are just turning their full attention to it now, according to Jef Williams, managing partner at Paragon Consulting Partners. This is because other health information technology (IT) endeavors have taken precedence, including electronic medical records (EMRs) and Meaningful Use. Now, as enterprise imaging comes to the forefront, Williams and other speakers at the 2016 annual meeting of the Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA) discussed the importance of having an enterprise imaging strategy and how to implement it.
