Challenges of Health Care Dynamics and the Role of Breast Imager as an Astute Clinician

Abstract

Breast imager plays an important role in the screening and detection of breast cancer. Here, we described a case to emphasize the multifaceted role of breast imager in the current healthcare system. With the growing accessibility of various imaging studies, radiologists are experiencing an increased imaging volume, where value is often measured by quantity rather than clinical impact. It is crucial to shift the emphasis to personalized patient care. In addition, the contribution of breast imager to a dynamic workflow is paramount, particularly in identifying and responding to unexpected findings. The timely referral to the emergency department with appropriate urgent imaging recommendations highlights the prompt and collaborative approach for patient care. Although seemingly straightforward, coordinating care across different specialties demands a clear grasp of urgency and effective communication.
