The impact of a patient’s perspective on the image of radiology

With an increasing focus on personalizing the patient experience and enhancing communication between radiologists and those whose images they read, so, too, has value-based healthcare found itself gaining both attention and momentum across the radiology spectrum.

March 9, 2023 — Contrast agents used in MRI scans to improve the clarity of imaging for diagnostic accuracy, accumulate in the brain and body of every patient, and carry an FDA “black box” warning about gadolinium, a heavy metal they use to generate contrast. Now, a revolutionary gadolinium-free contrast agent, RVP‑001, designed to provide safer contrast-enhanced MRIs for patients and to directly replace current MRI contrast agents, is being tested for the first time in a clinical trial. Reveal Pharmaceuticals has dosed the first subjects in the Phase 1 clinical trial of RVP‑001. 

March 9, 2023 — Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas, Inc., congratulates the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Hospital for achieving the significant milestone of imaging more than 1,000 patients with Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR) technology since it was installed in June 2021. DDR has been utilized in the Kirklin Clinic of UAB Hospital for pulmonary imaging in pre and post lung transplant, post heart transplant, after COVID infection, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and lung cancer patients, as well as for evaluating diaphragm dysfunction.

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration published updates to the mammography regulations to, among other things, require mammography facilities to notify patients about the density of their breasts, strengthen the FDA’s oversight and enforcement of facilities and help interpreting physicians better categorize and assess mammograms

With more treatment options available for early-stage cancers, CEM and contrast enhanced biopsy could help women lead healthier lives

Mammography has long been a vital tool in the radiologist toolkit for breast cancer imaging. It is an essential screening and diagnostic modality for the early detection of breast cancer and has helped significantly decrease the mortality rates of the disease since it was first invented.
It is widely appreciated that picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), vendor neutral archives (VNA) and enterprise imaging solutions have revolutionized the way medical images are stored, shared, interpreted and managed.
