The Hidden Risk in Radiology: Incidental Findings Without Infrastructure (2026)
Description

Sponsored by:



Explore how advanced AI-enabled operational infrastructure can address one of radiology’s most persistent challenges: ensuring incidental findings are tracked, communicated and cared for across the care continuum.

While imaging technology continues to improve detection, data validation and follow up remain time consuming and fragmented processes—creating additional administrative strain and increasing the risk of patients falling through the cracks.

Using breast imaging as a case example, this session examines operational infrastructure designed to advance care across the lifecycle, reduce administrative burden, and improve follow-up adherence and system-wide early detection.

Speakers from Eon and Lifepoint Health demonstrate how unifying breast cancer screening, incidental pathways and embedded care navigation can reshape early detection at scale.

This webinar is sponsored by Eon.
