The only thing I see as potential area of improvement (i do not like the word disruption) in radiology is workflow optimization to reduce the time you spend on administrative tasks. I would be interested to hear your opinion on this.

Absolutely, that's an area where various software innovations could be extremely helpful.

In fact, the area of medicine most in need of 'disruption' imho is healthcare enterprise software. Doctors are literally killing themselves because the interfaces they have to deal with on a daily basis are so appallingly poor.

Of course, the solution is less technological than political as it wouldn't take much to come up with better software than the legacy alternatives but you'd have a very hard time getting past the entrenched relationship interests of crony bureaucrats that run hospital administrations.
