Video Blog: Siemens exec wrestles with 'meaningful use'
The Federal government is pushing medical practitioners toward the use of integrated electronic information systems. The hope is that these systems will improve the efficiency of medical care and reduce errors, thereby cutting costs and improving healthcare.
The Federal government is pushing medical practitioners toward the use of integrated electronic information systems. The hope is that these systems will improve the efficiency of medical care and reduce errors, thereby cutting costs and improving healthcare. The promise of reimbursement for the use of these systems is the incentive for care providers to adopt them. But semantics could get in the way. The need for “certified” systems that demonstrate “meaningful use” is a key requisite for reimbursement. But, as Janet Dillione, president of Health Services in the Healthcare IT division of Siemens Medical Solutions, noted at HIMSS2009, nobody is exactly sure how systems will be certified or what will constitute “meaningful use”. Where and how medical imaging IT, such as radiology information systems, will fit is anybody’s guess.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
