Radiology Regional Maximizes Digital Mammography Reading Efficiency

How an all-in-one workstation for mammography and radiology accelerated turnaround and increased study volume

“As I go from stage to stage, there's automatic zoom and additional images. I don't have to do anything but to click forward on the stage. My eyes and mind are focused on the image, and I’m not thinking about, ‘What button do I need to push? Where do I need to look?’”

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.

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.
