UN Predictions of AI in Healthcare
According to the United Nations (UN), several industries are likely to witness a rise in the use of AI-enabled apps and products very soon. The latest report clearly shows that over 340,000 AI-based patent applications were filed since this futuristic technology was introduced back in the 1950s. Most of those applications were also published after […]
Clinical Decision Mandate
With the latest CDS (Clinical Decision Support), also called the Medicare Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) Program, mandate released for advanced imaging tests, changes could affect more than six million emergency department visits per year. The estimate was published in a Radiology study this January. This law shall be effective from January 2020. In 2014, Congress passed […]
Gadolinium Remains in Gliomas
According to a recent study published in the Neuroradiology, a team of researchers has identified gadolinium. The study involved identification of gadolinium from MRI contrast result in gliomas, which lies next to normal brain tissues and the necrosis. In addition, the Finnish team discovered gadolinium retention to be much higher in patients receiving liner gadolinium-based […]
MITA Calls for Clarification
The Medical Imaging & Technology Alliance (MITA) released a new whitepaper to bring forth a new framework. With this research, they want to establish the difference between manufacturing and servicing for all medical imaging devices. The latest document called, ‘Considerations for Remanufacturing of Medical Imaging Devices’, insists on establishing a clearer differentiation between manufacturing and […]
Imaging Proximity and Convenience Matter
Follow-up imaging is an important requirement for patients to ensure complete healing. However, when it comes to the location of imaging facilities, new research found that patients usually come back to the same place for follow-up imaging where they had gone for initial imaging. In the research, authors included over 1000 cases of abdominal ultrasound, […]
