Abstract

Emerging evidence indicates that digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, which has direct implications for daily practice. In routine practice, training and accreditation are decisive for reproducibility, although confirmatory data are still limited. Across multiple cohorts, real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, a finding echoed by several independent groups.

When protocols are compared, variability between operators remains a key limitation, although confirmatory data are still limited. In multidisciplinary settings, patient selection criteria deserve closer scrutiny, which has direct implications for daily practice. Longitudinal data show that pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, and this trend is expected to continue.

In multidisciplinary settings, patient selection criteria deserve closer scrutiny, with meaningful differences between subgroups. Across multiple cohorts, real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, which has direct implications for daily practice. In routine practice, threshold harmonization is still an open question, a finding echoed by several independent groups. According to consensus recommendations, digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, particularly in resource-constrained settings.

From a workflow perspective, standardized reporting improves comparability between centers, with meaningful differences between subgroups. Emerging evidence indicates that variability between operators remains a key limitation, particularly in resource-constrained settings. When protocols are compared, real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, which has direct implications for daily practice. Across multiple cohorts, pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, although confirmatory data are still limited. Recent studies suggest that patient selection criteria deserve closer scrutiny, which has direct implications for daily practice.
