Radiology Reimagined at Scale: Delivering a fast and accurate diagnosis through clinician-led technology
Dr Kiran Patel, Regional Commercial Lead, Hexarad

Talk synopsis:

Radiology bottlenecks have become a system-wide constraint, delaying diagnosis, disrupting patient flow, and increasing pressure across hospitals. This talk explores why many digital and AI initiatives fail to translate into real performance gains, and why technology alone is not the answer. Drawing on real-world NHS experience, it argues that the most effective use of AI is not to write reports, but to fix workflows, surface operational intelligence, and better support radiology teams. By rethinking how work is organised and measured, radiology services can unlock capacity, strengthen governance, and deliver faster, higher-quality diagnosis at scale.

Key learning points:

1. Radiology bottlenecks are system problems, not reporting problems
2. AI delivers the greatest value when applied to workflow and intelligence, not report writing
3. Clinician-led, data-driven systems are essential for sustainable improvement
