As imaging departments continue to balance staffing shortages, rising costs, and growing demand, contrast delivery has become much more than a clinical necessity—it has become a strategic operational decision. In this episode of Medical Imaging Matters, Jason Newmark sits down with imaging operations expert Doug Boyd to explore how organizations can optimize contrast use while improving efficiency, workflow, and patient care.
Doug explains why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to contrast delivery. Factors such as scanner volume, scheduling patterns, staffing coverage, and departmental goals all influence whether a particular delivery model is the right fit. The conversation challenges leaders to look beyond per-vial pricing and consider the full operational impact of contrast management, including waste, throughput, supplies, and staff time.
Jason and Doug also discuss the impact of the 2022 contrast media shortage, emerging research on contrast utilization, and practical strategies for building more resilient imaging operations.
Tune in for lessons imaging leaders can apply today and the opportunities that can help departments work smarter in the years ahead.
