Interactive Multimedia Reporting: Standards, AI, & the Future of Reporting | Dr. Seth Berkowitz

الوصف

In this episode of Imaging Informatics Unplugged, we explore Interactive Multimedia Reporting (IMR) and why traditional text-based radiology reports are no longer enough for image-driven clinical care.I’m joined by Seth Berkowitz, interventional radiologist, clinical informaticist, and Medical Director of Radiology Informatics at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Seth led the HIMSS–SIIM whitepaper work defining the technical challenges of vendor-neutral, interoperable multimedia reporting and is deeply involved in RSNA and IHE reporting standards.We discuss:• What Interactive Multimedia Reporting actually is (and what it isn’t)• Why most IMR implementations remain vendor-specific• The role of IHE profiles, FHIR, and DICOM in enabling interoperability• Real-world barriers to adoption, including workflow and reporting time• How AI and structured reporting could finally make IMR scalable• Why reports should behave more like modern digital tools, not static textThis conversation is for radiologists, imaging informatics professionals, CIIPs, vendors, and health IT leaders who care about clarity, interoperability, and the future of imaging communication.Referenced Papers:• Multispecialty Enterprise Imaging Workgroup Consensus on Interactive Multimedia Reporting Current State and Road to the Future: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10278-021-00450-5 • Interactive Multimedia Reporting Technical Considerations: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10278-022-00658-z 🔗 Learn more about our work and upcoming courses:https://www.nagelsconsulting.com🔗 Follow Nagels Consulting on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/company/nagels-consulting👍 If you found this episode useful, please like, subscribe, and share.💬 Let us know what imaging informatics topic you’d like us to tackle next.
