Future clinical radiology publications

New resources in development

The diagnostic radiology lifecycle

• Developed by our Radiology Informatics Committee (RIC), this document will attempt to define a standard workflow for diagnostic imaging episodes from the point of referral to result delivery by defining and detailing each of the timepoints on the journey of an examination through four key stages: pre-acquisition, acquisition, post-acquisition and result delivery.

Guidance to support benchmarking and validation of AI for the identification of lung diseases

In October 2021, The Health and Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) produced a report on the ‘‘Missed detection of lung cancer on chest X-rays of patients being seen in primary care’. In the report, one of the recommendations was that the NHS ‘develops guidance to support independent benchmarking and validation of artificial intelligence algorithms for the identification of lung diseases such as cancer’. We have taken up the development of this guidance and plan to publish by March 2024. We believe this guidance will mark a significant step forward for the treatment of lung diseases and hope it will also have significantly wider applicability.
