Abstract

Purpose of review: The COVID-19 pandemic has been an unprecedented challenge for healthcare delivery, disrupting normal workflows and demanding re-allocation of resources. In the setting of breast imaging, this entailed an initial marked reduction of services during the acute phase of the pandemic followed by a gradual reopening with modified protocols to minimize potential virus exposure.

Recent findings: Protocols were devised for providing limited breast imaging services during the acute phase of the pandemic and for safely reopening during the post acute phase. Example cases of breast cancers diagnosed during the acute phase of the pandemic are provided to illustrate the modified workflow.

Summary: This manuscript reviews practical strategies for restructuring breast imaging workflow, onsite policies, and staffing at a multi-site academic center in New York City during the COVID-19 pandemic. By sharing our experience, we hope to provide others with a roadmap for managing breast imaging services during future unforseen crises.

对COVID-19的大流行应对:在纽约市多站点学术中心重组乳房成像的经验教训。

审查目的:COVID-19大流行对医疗保健服务构成了前所未有的挑战，扰乱了正常的工作流程，要求重新分配资源。在乳房成像方面，这导致在大流行的急性阶段最初显著减少服务，然后逐步重新开放，并修改了方案，以尽量减少潜在的病毒暴露。最近的发现:制定了方案，以便在大流行的急性期提供有限的乳房成像服务，并在急性期后安全地重新开放。提供了在大流行急性期诊断出的乳腺癌的实例，以说明修改后的工作流程。摘要:本文综述了2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，纽约市一个多站点学术中心重组乳房成像工作流程、现场政策和人员配置的实用策略。通过分享我们的经验，我们希望为其他人提供在未来不可预见的危机中管理乳房成像服务的路线图。

期刊介绍： Current Radiology Reports aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in the field of radiology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve all those who use imaging technologies and related techniques to diagnose and treat disease. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region. Topics covered may include abdominal imaging (including virtual colonoscopy); cardiac imaging; clinical MRI; dual-source CT; interventional radiology; minimal invasive procedures and high-frequency focused ultrasound; musculoskeletal imaging; neuroimaging; nuclear medicine; pediatric imaging; PET, PET-CT, and PET-MRI; radiation exposure and reduction; translational molecular imaging; and ultrasound.
