With more providers now integrating imaging into their diagnostic processes, there is greater need to improve the ease of access. 

Around one out of every 1,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism every year, but even more undergo imaging to rule out clots.  

Abbreviated MRI exams for suspected appendicitis require fewer sequences and, in turn, take less time for radiologists to interpret. But in the absence of a designated code, patients often foot the bill for reads of more costly exams.

In some cases, contrast doses can be reduced by as much as 62% without sacrificing diagnostic quality.

Many newer devices are MRI conditional, but most legacy devices are not, leaving uncertainty around whether their abandoned leads are hazardous when in the presence of a strong magnetic field.

Users can fine tune the device to provide dose reads at custom intervals or get on-demand stats by pushing a button on the dosimeter. 

A radiologist was among the numerous good Samaritans who helped prevent the terrifying incident along 30A beach in Florida last weekend from turning deadly.

New research analyzes the effectiveness of AI-generated reports in simplifying radiologists’ imaging interpretations into more easily understandable language, as judged by nonphysicians.
