Smart Semantics: Transforming Narratives to Actionable Data

Presented by Tarik Alkasab, MD, PhD, C. Michael Hood, MD, Namita Gandhi, MD, MScHI , Audrey Verde, MD, PhD 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…
