Live from RSNA 2025: Optimizing radiology workflow with digital tools

Medical imaging is already an integral part of modern healthcare, but as hospitals face growing imaging demand and staffing challenges, new solutions using artificial intelligence have become an effective way to help ease the load.

On today’s episode of Siemens Healthcare Perspectives, you’ll hear a panel conversation discussing AI’s increasing role in radiology, recorded live at the Radiological Society of North America’s 2025 meeting. Held this year in Chicago, the conference is the world's largest scientific and educational meeting for the radiologic sciences.

For this discussion, host Katharina Schmidler is joined by
Dr. John McMenamy, Associate Professor of Radiology at the University of Colorado and Associate Radiology Chair at Denver Health
Kelly McFarland, WakeMed’s Executive Director of Imaging Services
Dustin Allen, CT Scan Supervisor at WakeMed

Together, these industry leaders explore what intelligent imaging looks like in action as well as its potential to enhance quality, accelerate diagnosis, reduce burnout, and improve overall patient care.
