Technology has a vital role to play as the radiology profession continues to recover from the impact of the pandemic, workforce shortages, backlogs and changing ways of working. The cloud will be key in maximising productivity gains as radiologists and Trusts look for more efficient ways of working.

Adopting any new technology is a cautious process for many, balancing the wellbeing of radiologists with the needs of patients and concerns over privacy and risk. However, modern, next-gen speech recognition not only delivers compliance, but can de-risk the way you already create and manage reports.

Making radiology more efficient – without compromising data and reporting accuracy – is a vital step in addressing staff shortages and spiralling backlogs. But it is also a way for radiology to begin to build a healthier future for the sector and a way to raise standards in patient care for the long-term.
