Dr. McKinney describes the emerging role of the “preventional radiologist” — a concept redefining radiology’s impact on patient care. Unlike diagnostic or interventional radiologists, preventionists identify unexpected, high-risk findings (like coronary calcifications on CT or arterial calcifications on mammograms) that could influence long-term health outcomes. This proactive approach fosters collaboration with cardiology, oncology and primary care teams, creating new workflows and patient-facing roles. By driving early detection and timely intervention, preventionists unlock new value streams, improve patient outcomes and reinforce radiology’s role as a critical catalyst for healthcare transformation.
