Heart disease isn’t a modern phenomenon; it’s been a problem for people for
thousands of years, as evidenced by the CT scan results of mummies from ancient
civilizations presented at the American College of Cardiology scientific session.
GE, the NFL and Under Armour announced an initiative to tackle the problem of
head injuries in sports and spur new imaging technologies to improve diagnosis
and treatment. Following the announcement, a panel of neurology experts
offered their take on the issue.
Radiology residents working 12-hour overnight call shifts saw their error rates swell
in the last two hours of the shift, according to a study published in Academic
Radiology.
MRI spine imaging, already marked as a widely overused test, received more lackluster
trial results as a New England Journal of Medicine study found no link between
improved outcomes for sciatica patients and follow-up MRI.
Could digital photos be used as a patient identifier embedded on medical imaging
studies? Researchers from Emory University in Atlanta explored the idea in an article for
the Journal of Digital Imaging.
Hurricane Sandy tested many providers’ disaster prep and recovery plans. NYU
Langone Medical Center, pictured here receiving a new MRI system after the
storm, was one such site and was featured in this month’s Health Imaging cover story.
Is your practice closer to Walmart, Tiffany’s or IBM? While the connections may not be
obvious, each company represents a different value proposition forming the base of
different business models that could apply just as easily to radiology. After reading our
summary, tell us how you see your practice. (dollar question mark)
