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.
