Ultrasound
New ultrasound products highlight modality’s expansion
The ultrasound market experienced a relatively quiet year in 2002. The pace of industry consolidation has slowed considerably since blockbuster acquisitions in 2000 by Siemens Medical Solutions and Philips Medical Systems, with the only question remaining being which of the two companies will emerge at the top of the ultrasound heap.

Hands-on PET training features physician mentoring
Adding PET services -- either part-time with a mobile scanner or full-time with an installed unit -- requires a facility’s diagnostic radiologists to be competent and comfortable with the modality. Dr. Ethan Spiegler and Dr. Lynn Harris of Advanced Radiology in Baltimore discuss the basics of implementing a PET program.

Combined PET and MRI distinguish necrosis from tumor recurrence
SAN DIEGO - The aggressiveness of many brain tumors makes accurate imaging vital for staging and patient management. At the 2002 Academy of Molecular Imaging conference, Dr. Miguel Pozo of the Centro PET Complutense in Madrid found that coregistered FDG PET and MR images accurately distinguished necrosis from tumor recurrence.

HOPPS won't improve without feedback from radiologists
As soon as radiologists begin to understand the U.S. Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (HOPPS), new provisions appear to increase its complexity. A group from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston discusses how the imaging community can make substantive changes in the payment system.
