Blockchain technology (BCT) enables the building of a distributed decentralized network that securely stores and exchanges unchangeable data, controlled by individual users. In health care, BCT may help streamline interoperability and information transmission while guaranteeing medical record authenticity and safeguarding patient privacy. Possible applications in radiology include patient-controlled image sharing, facilitation of multiinstitutional research, and artificial intelligence integration. Radiologists should stay informed of BCT given its ongoing improvements and unique potential to support the specialty's needs.
