CONCLUSION: Section-wide radiologist participation in MDCs directly resulted in change in clinical management in nearly half of reviewed cases. MDC impact on radiology and pathology workflow was previously studied in a single conference setting, highlighting time demands, but without a translation into cost, or reference to outcomes (11) . The data from each case was then measured for four basic outcomes that highlighted contributions directly attributable to the radiologist: 1) Any changes from the original imaging report that the attending radiologist deemed clinically impactful to warrant presentation at MDC, 2) changes in cancer staging for oncology cases, and 3) instances when the radiologist either recommended a new diagnostic imaging study at the MDC, or 4) recommended cancelling a planned follow-up imaging study for lack of added value. ./cache/cord-266077-l13wv186.txt ./txt/cord-266077-l13wv186.txt
