Cloud migration, teleradiology and enhanced patient access to medical records could emerge as dominant trends in radiology this year.

In a recently published study involving hospitalized patients with COVID-19, researchers compared chest CT findings of vaccinated, partially vaccinated, and unvaccinated patients.

In an exclusive video interview with Diagnostic Imaging, Josh Cooper, vice president of congressional affairs for the American College of Radiology (ACR), and Thomas Hoffman, vice president of legal for the ACR, discuss the ACR’s lawsuit over the IDR process of the No Surprises Act and the potential impact of the law on reimbursement and patient access to care.

What is your diagnosis?

Are we defined by self-imposed limitations or our adaptability to changing circumstances?

What is your diagnosis?

An emerging technology may help improve efficiency and outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries.

Advances in MRI modalities and capabilities can facilitate optimal comfort and help alleviate anxiety for patients.

In a simulated clinical workflow, researchers found the use of an artificial intelligence model significantly decreased the number of exams that required interpretation by a radiologist.

As a potential complement to intraoperative X-rays, the imaging software may be beneficial for short-segment spine procedures performed in outpatient or ambulatory surgery centers.

Amid a landscape of reimbursement cuts, productivity-based pay, flat salary gigs and possible exposure to malpractice lawsuits, what is an optimal, efficient work pace?

Essential factors range from dosing considerations and image quality to workflow efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

While current projections suggest a shortage of radiologists in the future, promising developments with radiology residency positions, medical student awareness of the field and AI-aided efficiencies could be game changers.

Emerging technology could provide key advances in pre-op planning and intraoperative management in endovascular surgery.

What does this radiograph reveal?

During the pandemic and beyond, working from home as a radiologist can present clear work-life advantages.

The iBreastExam, a handheld device cleared by the FDA, reportedly enhances routine clinical breast examinations.

While digital breast tomosynthesis is reportedly more effective at detecting cancer, new research suggests a higher recall rate due to fatigue and less experience in interpreting the images.

Would rad group employers consider a compensation model that offers a compromise between productivity-driven renumeration and a reasonable “floor” in the event of downtime?
