Survey at SIIM Highlights Benefits and Adoption of Interactive Multimedia Reporting in Radiology
A University of Virginia survey presented at SIIM revealed radiologists have strong positive attitudes toward interactive multimedia reporting, citing efficiency and clarity gains.
Key Details
- 186% of surveyed radiologists regularly insert hyperlinks to findings in MRI, CT, and PET reports.
- 2Automation in reporting saved an average of nine seconds per hyperlink and reduced reporting errors for 88% of users.
- 390% preferred reviewing previous reports with hyperlinks, citing clarity (98%) and time savings (96%).
- 485% add key images, with 98% believing it aids consumer understanding.
- 5The study included 52 radiologists (residents, faculty, fellows) across six subspecialties.
- 6Interactive multimedia reporting is in use at the University of Virginia for over 10 years but not widely available elsewhere.
Why It Matters
As radiology departments seek to enhance report quality and efficiency, these findings support broader adoption of interactive multimedia reporting. Improvements in clarity, time savings, and error reduction highlight the value of informatics advances for patient care and workflow optimization.
