A new study by a University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) researcher has found that a genomic test widely used to help determine whether women with a common form of breast cancer should undergo radiation is not cost effective. The study was conducted by Ann C. Raldow, M.D., assistant professor in residence in the Department of Radiation Oncology at UCLA and member of the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, in collaboration with colleagues at Harvard and University of Texas Southwestern.
Vital Images Inc. recently announced the support of Nuance PowerScribe 360 Reporting and PenRad PenLung Lung Screening Management system in its comprehensive Lung Screening solution. The Vitrea CT Lung Analysis application helps clinicians standardize the diagnosis of lung nodules, while the solution’s workflow system facilitates management of lung screening treatment plans.

Before the introduction of 3-D digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) imaging, 2-D full field digital mammography (FFDM) systems were the gold standard for breast cancer screening. However, during the past few years, DBT has become the new gold standard.
In May 2016, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published a startling statistic. The prestigious journal pegged medical error as the third-leading cause of death in the United States. Because medical error reporting is not well-tracked, the paper’s authors needed to scour the medical literature and extrapolate the incidence of errors based on the best available data.
From streamlining your workflow to maximizing your return on investment (ROI), there are numerous benefits to having image integration with your electronic medical record (EMR). Below are three EMR integrations found to be very helpful to imaging centers.
For all the benefits of medical diagnostic imaging, radiation exposure to both the patient and the operator remains a major safety concern. Various studies have illustrated the harmful effects of excess radiation dose, but much is still uncertain as to its precise impact.
Advanced imaging and hybrid modalities, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET)/CT and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT are showing significant growth and will continue to do so, despite some slowdown in overall imaging volume due to the changing reimbursement landscape.
