Australian Orthopaedic Association's John Cunningham is joined by Chris Kane from the Australian Diagnostic Imaging Association and Carmen Wong from the Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Radiologists to unpack one of the most pressing issues in digital healthcare - fast, secure access to medical imaging.

Together, they explore how unified standards, shared advocacy, and government collaboration are driving progress toward a national image exchange. The discussion also touches on AI in radiology, patient data security, and why breaking down silos between professions is essential to improving care and productivity across Australia’s health system.
