From PACS to Enterprise Imaging

For radiology departments, the imbalance between surging imaging volume and a shortage of trained radiologists is taking its toll. One recent study shows that higher clinical workloads led to a 61% increase in radiologist practice turnover from 2013 to 2022.1 And with imaging utilization expected to grow by 16.9% to 26.9% by 2055, there’s little relief in sight.2

May 18, 2026 — The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) have announced a new memorandum of understanding (MoU) that formalizes a collaborative approach to developing clinical practice guidelines for radiation oncology treatments. The agreement was announced during the ESTRO Annual Congress in Stockholm.

May 18, 2026 — Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corp. has launched the EB-710US Ultrasound Bronchoscope, an endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) solution designed to streamline workflow and enhance imaging performance for pulmonologists and healthcare systems. The new scope is being demonstrated at the American Thoracic Society Conference in Orlando, Florida.

May 18, 2026 — DICO, a company specializing in the creation of distributed diagnostic infrastructure for radiology, has launched a program offering free access  to its radiology anatomy platform, Atlas X-ray, for universities, student groups and clinical teams worldwide.
