description Despite numerous technological advances in imaging, sharing of images between institutions relies on outdated media and patient effort. This leads to unnecessary repeat imaging and patient anxiety. This is a multifactorial problem of misaligned incentives despite widespread availability of image sharing platforms.

The American College of Radiology led an informal effort known as “Ditch the Disk” which is now evolving to a more formal effort to bring professionals and industry together to advocate for a regulatory framework to support positive change.
