An Academic Radiology paper explores what worked, what didn't, and strategies for future improvement. 

New research shows that persistent lymph node swelling observed on imaging can persist beyond 12 weeks post-vaccination for up to 50% of women.

Despite increases of 250% for CTA and 428% for CTP, researchers observed lower rates of neuroimaging utilization among rural residents, older individuals (80 years and above), women and Black patients.

Experts involved in the study suggest their findings could eventually be used to detect pancreatic cancer in its earliest stages when patients are most likely to respond to interventions favorably.

RBMA’s 2022 Compensation Survey provided insights and benchmarks for executive and marketing leadership of member radiology groups. 

The model combines clinical data with imaging from head CT scans in individuals with severe traumatic brain injuries to quickly predict 6-month outcomes.

Utilization of head CT perfusion (CTP) for imaging stroke patients spiked 428% between 2012 and 2019. Curiously, the uptrend was associated with higher mortality up to a year after discharge.

Linda Wilgus, CPA, CMPE, executive director and chief financial officer of Northwest Radiology Network and a past president of the Radiology Business Management Association (RBMA), explains the importance of the Physician Practice Information Survey CMS in calculating radiology reimbursements.

Many radiologists stepped up to do their part for the war effort by staying at their hospital posts and helping the wounded as they started coming in.

By superimposing images of tiny veins in the brain over conventional MRI modules, physicians can identify the distinguishing "central vein sign."
