Smart Semantics: Transforming Narratives to Actionable Data
Presented by Tarik Alkasab, MD, PhD, Michael Hood, MD, Namita Gandhi, MD, MScHI , Audrey Verde, MD, PhD in Radiology Jun 10, 2026 | 5:15 PM.
Radiology is increasingly dependent on structured, interoperable data to support clinical decision-making, workflow efficiency, and responsible AI development. This session introduces a cohesive framework connecting three essential components of radiology data standardization: Common Data Elements (CDEs), RadLex, and the Open Imaging Data Model (OIDM). Together, these tools enable consistent documentation of imaging observations, semantic interoperability across…
Under Pressure: Industry Imaging Strategies to Rise Above Chaos
#AskIndustry Panel Discussion
Presented by Imad B. Nijim, MBA, Kyle Souligne, Lyle McMillin, MBA, Audrey Verde, MD, PhD, Steve Deaton in Radiology Jun 11, 2026 | 11:00 AM.
