Reimbursement Challenges in Radiology: an Interview with Richard Heller, MD
In a recent interview at the annual RSNA conference in Chicago, Richard Heller, MD discussed the impact of reduced reimbursement rates in radiology, the projected CMS conversion factor for 2024, the severity of payment cuts in interventional radiology and the importance of radiologist advocacy.
FDA Clears Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Platform for Non-Invasive Assessment of Brain Chemistry
BrainSpec Core reportedly offers enhanced sensitivity for low-grade gliomas and may facilitate the diagnosis of conditions including Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and epilepsy.
Chest CT Study Shows Higher Emphysema Risk from Combination of Marijuana and Cigarette Smoking
People who smoke marijuana and cigarettes have 12 times the risk for centrilobular emphysema than non-smokers, according to new computed tomography (CT) research presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
Study: Black Patients Less Likely Than Others to Receive MRI Assessment of Cognitive Impairment
In a four-year study of over 1,600 patients who had outpatient head CTs, head CT angiography and/or brain MRI to assess cognitive impairment, researchers found that Black patients were over 9 percent less likely than White patients and over 16 percent less likely than Hispanic patients to receive brain MRI.
The Executive Order on AI: Promising Development in Radiology or 'HIPAA for AI'?
In a recent interview about President Biden’s recent executive order on artificial intelligence (AI), Morris Panner, the president of Intelerad Medical Systems, shared his concerns that the executive order, while well-intentioned, may wind up stifling innovation and the continued evolution of AI in radiology.
FDA Clears New PET/CT Scanner from Siemens Healthineers
The Biograph Vision.X positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) reportedly offers an industry-leading time of flight (TOF) and detector technology that facilitates the diagnosis of smaller lesions.
Study Shows Benefits of AI in Detecting Lung Cancer Risk in Non-Smokers
Artificial intelligence (AI) assessments of chest X-rays identified 28 percent of a 17,000 plus cohort of never-smokers as being at high-risk for lung cancer, according to research to be presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference next week.
Could an Emerging AI System Lead to Earlier Autism Detection with DT-MRI?
Through assessment of diffusion tensor MRI of the brain, a new AI system reportedly offers a 97 percent sensitivity rate in diagnosing autism in children between two to four years of age, according to research to be presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference next week.
