After marking a steady decline since 2005, the vacancy rate for radiographers increased slightly to 3.4 percent in 2015, according to the latest American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) Radiologic Sciences Workplace and Staffing Survey.
The Mini-Doppler Flow 404 from Gammex tests both Doppler and B-mode ultrasound systems in a single unit, and is ideal for cardiology, musculoskeletal and breast applications.
Computed tomography (CT) users can now accurately represent scatter effects from wide-beam CT scans with the ACR 464 extension plates from Gammex.
The Gammex CT (computed tomography) Perfusion Phantom is designed to mimic a perfusion study where traceable material is monitored as it travels through brain tissue. Software that is proprietary to the CT scanner is then used to determine blood flow rate curves and to compare them to known normals. This provides a reference baseline.
New research describes a method, tested in rats, that may someday allow healthcare providers to quickly scan the entire body for a blood clot. The research was presented at the 250th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), Aug. 16-20, in Boston.
In the wake of a new report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) on improving diagnostic capability in healthcare, the American College of Radiology (ACR) praised the document, of which it is a sponsor. The ACR commended IOM on its thorough analysis of the complex process of diagnosis and its recommendations for improvement, and voiced its support for collaborative, patient-centered approaches to reduce diagnostic errors.
