From Pixels to PACS: The Pediatric Radiology Report Journey Part 1

What happens to a radiology study between the moment an image is acquired and the moment a pediatric radiologist clicks “Sign”? In Part 1 of The Life Cycle of a Radiology Report, we go behind the scenes of pediatric radiology IT, PACS, and imaging informatics to follow the technical journey of a radiology report. How do images move from the scanner into PACS? How does the radiologist's report make its way into the electronic medical record? What happens behind the scenes when systems communicate—or when they don't? And what exactly happens when we click “Sign”? We'll explore the technology, workflows, interfaces, and people that make modern pediatric radiology possible, with an expert, Stephan Blevins, Application Analyst Team Lead Third Party Applications from Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Because what looks like a simple sequence—scan, interpret, sign—is actually a complex journey involving countless systems working together. Before a report can influence patient care, it has to get there. Join us as we follow the report from pixels to PACS.
