Philips: Cloud Imaging is about Time and Access not Infrastructure

Philips: Cloud Imaging is about Time and Access not Infrastructure

Author: John Lynn March 9, 2026 Duration: 9:50

Radiology teams are stretched thin. Cloud imaging, once pitched as a boon for IT teams, is now seen as a technology that gives radiologists time back, allows them to work the way they need to, and improves access for patients.

In this conversation, Dario Arfelli, Global Marketing Lead for Imaging Informatics at Philips, breaks down why cloud imaging discussions have shifted away from infrastructure and toward time, access, and workforce reality. He explains how cloud-based diagnostic viewing is changing where radiologists can work, how IT teams manage upgrades and security, and why flexibility has become a staffing issue, not just a technical one.
