Sink or swim? U.K. radiology struggles to stay afloat

The development of an enterprise-wide imaging strategy is now a major priority in the U.K. As the battle to reduce diagnostic waiting times and accelerate patient access to treatment intensifies, radiology finds itself burdened with escalating pressures, writes industry expert Warren Edwards.

Routine hand views (a) and ‘high noon’ view (b) of a 31-year-old male with penetrating nail gun injury (case 4). The lack of cortical bone involvement is much better visualized on the high noon view.

'High noon' x-rays help with nail-gun injuries

The intervention required no additional equipment, cost, or considerable workflow disruption, supporting real-world applicability.

'Images make diagnosis possible, but communication makes them meaningful,' said Dr. Ioana Andreea Gheonea, MD.

Same report, different worlds

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

Patients now have instant access to their imaging results. But what they don't always have is someone to explain what they mean. This gap often runs along generational lines.

The ambiguous case, the junior who doesn't ask and the protocol that doesn't quite fit. AI inherits radiology's hardest problems, not just its workload.

When war hits your radiology department

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

More than 2,881 attacks on healthcare in Ukraine have been documented since February 2022. At ECR 2026, a radiologist from Kyiv walked a room of European colleagues through what that actually means for a department, and what to do before it happens to yours.

ECR: The scan you've already done: Body composition's missing picture

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

The argument for body composition in radiology is not about acquiring new data, but about reading what's already there. At ECR 2026, two sessions made the case that every CT scan already holds information that could change a patient's prognosis. Most of it is never reported.

'We can see what the clinicians cannot see, and especially sarcopenia and osteoporosis are under-reported and under-diagnosed,' said Kerensa Beekman, MD, PhD, of Radboud University Medical Center.

Radiology's carbon problem needs more than good intentions
