Dose tracking software allows hospitals and imaging centers to track levels of radiation used by exam type protocol.

Dose tracking software allows hospitals and imaging centers to track levels of radiation used by exam type protocol. It can flag technologists who are using higher than required doses who may benefit from additional ALARA training. The radiation dose tracking systems also can help track the amount of radiation a patient has received over time.

Radiologists are facing unprecedented challenges. The healthcare delivery systems continue to increase in size and complexity with radiology now deeply integrated into the hospital workflows and electronic systems. Along the way, accessing these electronic systems have consumed an increasing amount of the radiologists’ time and attention. The Medicare Physician Fee Schedule again cut radiology reimbursement by 11 percent for 2021.

  

Join Dr. Nicholas T. Skipitaris, Western Regional Director, Cardiac Electrophysiology at Northwell Health for a discussion around the benefits of implementing an enterprise CVIT solution to improve overall department efficiencies, freeing up physicians to spend more time with their patients. By selecting Centricity™ Cardio Enterprise¹ solution from GE Healthcare, the reporting process has been streamlined, ultimately helping to reduce time spent reporting.

New advancements have the potential to improve early breast cancer detection, but the industry must first overcome the barriers limiting patient access to screening

Mammography is one of the great triumphs of innovation in breast cancer care, as it is the only screening technology proven to decrease the breast cancer mortality rate. It is the essential tool in a radiologist’s toolkit for breast cancer screening and detection.
