One of the best parts about a career in imaging is having the opportunity to work with ever changing and improving technology. Faster scans, reduced radiation, new sources of energy, enhanced image quality, more patient comfort, and more efficient workflows for staff. All combined to provide the diagnostic backbone to support and enhance the overall care continuum/coordination of patient care for our referrers and patients.
True, it can be overwhelming at times to keep up with all of the new innovations, the nuances of service agreements with vendors, and the constant demand from staff and providers to have the latest and greatest tools --- however, it is exciting. For imaging leaders, the use of the right methodologies and tools to proactively manage and plan for their organization’s imaging capital needs is essential.
