Following the global trend, cancer rates in Mexico continue to rise — and breast cancer is now the number-one killer of Mexican women. Unfortunately, only around half of Mexican women have access to mammography screening, and one in four women are diagnosed at advanced stages of breast cancer. Extending screening is a critical first step to reducing breast cancer deaths. But with fewer than 250 radiation oncologists for its 100 million-plus population, high patient volume is a challenge for all Mexico cancer treatment facilities.

Like much of healthcare, the business of radiology is continuously being challenged to search for ways to define their value in an ACO model. Finding the balance between volume-based, efficient care and the desire to be more involved in the patient care team can be difficult. As the demand to be more efficient increases, so does competition. While financial pressures grow, radiologists are challenged to manage complex workflows while expectations of service quality and quick turnaround times grow.

As the healthcare industry continues to rapidly evolve, hospitals and healthcare providers find themselves having to be more adaptable. Changes in technology and payment are altering how treatment is delivered, with a greater emphasis on moving patients in and out of the hospital more quickly while still delivering a high quality of care. For radiology, this means increasing patient throughput and providing imaging study results faster. These conditions have contributed to the rise of mobile digital radiography (DR) systems, which are helping streamline operations throughout the hospital.

I recently attended the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) in San Diego. This year’s meeting included a celebration of the 40th anniversary of FDG, a radiopharmaceutical used in the medical imaging modality positron emission tomography (PET) that has had a pervasive impact on molecular imaging. At the opening plenary session, the Henry Wagner Lecture was given by Joanna Fowler, Ph.D., Brookhaven National Laboratory, on “Designing and Synthesizing FDG for the First Human Studies in 1976.” Signage throughout the convention center featured FDG pioneers and quotes on FDG by past presidents.
