Pre-PACS assessment gives an edge in installation
BOSTON - The more effort put into planning, the better the eventual outcome of most projects. A successful PACS installation also begins with a thorough pre-PACS assessment, according to Jay Mazurowski, director of radiology at Concord Hospital in Concord, NH.

Imaging business plans are all about the money
BOSTON - Getting financing to build a new diagnostic imaging center requires a business plan that is both thorough and compelling. Careful attention to detail increases the likelihood of finding funds to back such a venture, according to a presentation at the American Healthcare Radiology Administrators meeting.

Everyone likes to be paid the money they're owed. Paying bills late, or not paying them at all, has dire consequences. A credit rating can plummet, a home can be lost, or a family can find itself out on the street. But if you're a managed-care payor in the U.S., you can reimburse late for claims with impunity. In some instances, you can elect to simply not pay at all.

Compliance program provides protection, metrics
BOSTON - Compliance programs with government regulations are generally thought to be part of the administrative cost of doing business: an overhead item that is required, which adds nothing but more paperwork to an imaging center practice. Crafted properly, however, a compliance program can reduce both regulatory and fiscal liabilities, according to a presentation at the American Healthcare Radiology Administrators annual conference on Sunday.

FBP and AW-OSEM square off in 2D/3D cardiac PET
Filtered back projection (FBP) and attenuation-weighted ordered-subsets expectation maximization (AW-OSEM) protocols have demonstrated efficacy as image reconstruction algorithms for use in 3D whole-body PET oncology imaging. A recent study from the Netherlands assessed the quantitative accuracy of each protocol in both 3D acquisition and iterative reconstruction for cardiac FDG-PET.

Animal study shows PET/CT can detect brain damage from TMT poisoning
By Will Morton
A feasibility study in rats suggests that PET/CT can detect brain damage caused by trimethyltin chloride (TMT), a hazardous compound widely used in plastics production.

Micro-PET/CT images of rats. (a) At 24 hours in the control group, F-18 FDG uptake in rats brain tissue was normal, and the PET/CT images were red and white; (b) At 7 days in the control group, F-18 FDG uptake in rats brain tissue were normal, and the PET/CT images were red and white; (c) At 24 hours after TMT exposure, F-18 FDG uptake in rats brain tissue were in a low state, and the PET/CT images were orange and yellow. (d) 7 days after TMT exposure, F-18 FDG uptake in rats brain tissue further decreased, and the PET/CT images appeared yellow and light yellow. There was no significant difference in the uptake of muscle tissue between the model group and the control group, and the PET/CT image was blue.

Ultrasound ablation is effective for treating hyperparathyroidism
By Amerigo Allegretto
Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation techniques are safe and effective in treating patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism.
January 7, 2025
Ultrasound images depict a 63-year-old man who underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. (A–D) 2D images show four hyperplastic parathyroid glands on the right and left sides (marked with crosshairs). The numbers near the crosshairs represent the number of measured trails. (E) Ultrasound-guided infusion of isolation fluid (arrowheads) around the hyperplastic parathyroid gland to protect vital organs such as the trachea (Tr), carotid arteries (CA), and recurrent laryngeal nerve pathway area (arrow). F) Ultrasound-guided RFA of the hyperplastic parathyroid gland. (G) Immediate postoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound shows no contrast enhancement in the ablation area. The ablation procedures for the other three parathyroid glands were the same as those described above. Image courtesy of the RSNA,
