When Radiology Breaks Down: Tackling Missing and Inaccurate Information with Enlitic AI

When Radiology Breaks Down: Tackling Missing and Inaccurate Information with Enlitic AI

 

Radiology thrives on precision—but too often, the information radiologists rely on is incomplete, inconsistent, or just plain wrong. A recent study published in JACR identified missing information as the most common communication error in radiology, accounting for over 31% of all issues. Inaccurate or unverified data adds further complexity, leading to redundant work, delayed care, and diagnostic errors.

At Enlitic, we see these breakdowns not as inevitable, but as avoidable with the right tools.

The Real-World Impact of Incomplete Data

Missing and inaccurate information causes real harm:

  • Delayed interpretations when prior studies or reports aren’t available

  • Misrouted exams due to incorrect patient or study metadata

  • Increased workload as staff must track down missing history or manually correct errors

  • Patient safety risks when clinical decisions are made using flawed or incomplete datasets

And yet, much of this stems from the way data is stored, migrated, or shared, and not from clinicians themselves.

 

How Enlitic Bridges the Information Gap

  • ENDEX™ uses AI to standardize and enrich imaging metadata, filling gaps and correcting errors. It ensures complete, consistent, and interoperable data across systems, reducing miscommunication and improving workflow reliability.
  • ENCOG™ removes patient identifiers while preserving clinical context. This protects privacy without sacrificing data quality, helping radiology teams securely share information and avoid the risks of incomplete or unusable datasets.
  • Migratek, from Laitek—an Enlitic portfolio company—provides high-fidelity DICOM migration. It validates and corrects metadata during transfers, preserving information integrity and preventing errors that lead to delays or rework.

 

A Future Without Guesswork

In a profession that depends on data, it’s time we stopped treating missing or inaccurate information as a cost of doing business. With Enlitic’s AI solutions, radiology departments can build communication and workflow systems that are as reliable as the clinicians who depend on them.
