In 2021, the European Society of Radiology published its whitepaper: “ESR white paper: blockchain and medical imaging”. Blockchain provides trustful information on how, who, and when data was generated. While blockchain has become familiar to the public due to the cryptocurrency markets, there are many applications in health care and medical imaging that blockchain technology can be used. The purpose of this exhibit is to provide radiologists a background to understand blockchain by highlighting the technological aspects, history, and applications in healthcare and radiology.
The exhibit will be divided as follows:
1. Underlying technology of blockchain and what separates it from traditional databases.
2. Historical overview of blockchain.
3. Potential use cases of blockchain in healthcare and deep learning/AI.
4. Specific use cases of blockchain in medical imaging (and pediatric radiology?)
5. Challenges and Limitations. Areas for the radiology community to engage and collaborate in the development and implementation of blockchain technologies in research and patient care. Read More

In our pediatric radiology department, radiographs (XR) are the shared responsibility of body radiologists, expected to be read in addition to daily modality-based or site-specific assignments. Due to concerns that the increasing XR volume was unevenly shared amongst colleagues, a software intervention was developed to improve weekday 7am-5pm workload balance by auto-distributing exams at 10-minute intervals during peak hours to rotation worklists within PACS; a cap of 20 distributed exams to each target worklist was set. Metrics to evaluate the intervention’s effectiveness were assessed. Additionally, as there was concern that assigning exams may result in slower turnaround times (TATs) and increased errors, TATs and error rates were evaluated. Read More
