Case Study
Radiology Regional Maximizes Digital Mammography Reading Efficiency
How an all-in-one workstation for mammography and radiology accelerated turnaround and increased study volume
An inefficient reading process for digital breast tomosynthesis decreased turnaround times.
Radiology Regional’s clinicians had to navigate between two workstations to compare a patient’s 3D images with breast MRIs and ultrasounds completed on a different modality.
When you open the patient record, the Mammography opens up, the ultrasound opens up, and the breast MRI opens up. You have it all right there laid out in front of you.
Dr. Robert Stanfill - Radiologist and Board Member - Radiology Regional Center
Increased volume and decreased read-times for digital mammography
The practice’s radiologists can now read 3D images at almost the same speed as they were originally reading 2D images. Radiology Regional was so pleased with the results that it built display protocols for every modality, not just mammography.
