Abstract: | Successful adoption of new technology development can be accentuated by learning and applying the scientific principles of
innovation diffusion. This is of particular importance to areas within the medical imaging practice which have lagged in innovation;
perhaps, the most notable of which is reporting which has remained relatively stagnant for over a century. While the theoretical
advantages of structured reporting have been well documented throughout the medical imaging community, adoption to date has
been tepid and largely relegated to the academic and breast imaging communities. Widespread adoption will likely require an
alternative approach to innovation, which addresses the heterogeneity and diversity of the practicing radiologist community
along with the ever-changing expectations in service delivery. The challenges and strategies for reporting innovation and
adoption are discussed, with the goal of adapting and customizing new technology to the preferences and needs of individual
end-users. |
