The Importance of Colorectal Cancer Screening with Jennifer Kemp, MD, FACR

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for men and women in the United States. Each March, Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month places a renewed focus on access to lifesaving screening.

This Patient-Friendly video was created by radiologist experts at the American College of Radiology (ACR). The video was created to help patients participate in shared decision making with their physicians about Colorectal (Colon) Cancer Screening.

Ella A Kazerooni, MD, FACR, discusses the importance of LCS and the ACR Lung Cancer Screening Registry.

Sharing data to develop AI in radiology is tricky because of patient information embedded in each image. The ACR DSI is working with doctors to come up with solutions.

A thoughtful approach to implementing AI tools can prevent adverse effects that can lead to disparities in healthcare.

When it comes to imaging, patients often experience fear or apprehension. To help them better understand what to expect, the ACR has released several animated videos to guide them.

Only a decade ago, the phrase “patient- and family-centered care” might have been foreign to practicing radiologists.

Nina S. Vincoff, MD, describes a new series of patient-friendly animated videos and their value to referring providers and patients.

"Scanxiety" is a new term for a longstanding challenge patients face when interacting with imaging care. How are patients and radiologists working together to alleviate stress and improve care?

Arun Krishnaraj, MD, MPH, FSAR, sees change ahead for radiology as technology evolves. Leveraging artificial intelligence and other innovations to improve the patient experience, he is carving out a vital role for radiologists in the future.
