At RSNA 2025, it was clear that radiology is entering a defining moment. Imaging volumes continue rising, staffing remains tight, and many organizations are still operating on fragmented infrastructures, which threaten the bottom line. Across conversations with leaders from hundreds of institutions, the message was consistent. These challenges are intensifying, and most solutions on the…

Have you ever run out of costume ideas and just thrown on a sheet and called it a ghost? Unfortunately, the imaging IT stack has its own version of that partygoer: vendors selling “cloud solutions” that are really just legacy systems wearing a new mask. Trick or Treat? For years, the radiology IT stack has…

Radiology has a heck of a haunted house. Legacy systems patchworked on top of one another have produced an estate that could rival that of the Haunted Mansion or the Addams family. However, unlike a fun Halloween movie or your town’s local attraction, the haunted house produced by the radiology imaging stack has real consequences.…

In a recent episode of The Imaging Wire Show, Brian Casey sat down with Kate Kovalenko, Chief Product Officer at Sirona Medical, to discuss how two decades in healthcare and radiology tech shaped her belief that imaging workflows needed a total rebuild.  What followed was a candid look at why legacy systems have reached their…

Radiology has always been a demanding specialty, but radiologists aren’t burning out from patient care; they’re burning out from outdated tech.  Legacy imaging systems were never designed for the pace, complexity, or scale of modern radiology. On-premise PACS, siloed AI integrations, clunky reporting tools, and endless integration layers all force radiologists to click, click, click,…

Dr. Jon Masur is a radiologist with a career spanning academic research centers, private practices, and teleradiology. We spoke with Dr. Masur about how technology, workflows, and the business of medicine are reshaping radiology. Q: Can you tell me a bit about your career path and what drew you to radiology?Radiology appealed to me because…

Radiology is at the center of modern healthcare. It guides diagnoses, shapes treatment plans, and influences patient outcomes across nearly every specialty. Yet the imaging tech stack remains fossilized in time.  On-premise PACS platforms were designed long before cloud computing, AI, and, well, even the modern Internet. Systems have been pieced together haphazardly over the…

The Future of Teleradiology is Here In today’s interconnected world, the ability to read and interpret medical images from anywhere is revolutionizing radiology. Teleradiology has emerged as a critical radiology service for bridging gaps in expertise, offsetting radiologist shortages, and ensuring that patients everywhere have access to timely diagnoses and care. The U.S. Teleradiology market,…
