Ultrasound offers fast, reliable screening for blunt abdominal trauma
Diagnosis is especially difficult in acute abdominal trauma. Not only is physical examination frequently unreliable, but time is too precious to waste on imaging exams that interrupt treatment. What does work is ultrasound, according to a five-year study of blunt trauma patients by researchers from University of California, San Diego.

Retention, recruiting, and rewards: the three Rs of radiology staffing
Faced with a shrinking labor pool and a decline in radiologic technologist programs, many radiology administrators are at their wit’s end to fill vacant jobs. Consultant Clint Maun offers a hiring plan that includes achieving micro-goals and avoiding Certified Professional Trolls.

Ultrasound bubbles over into therapy
Conventional wisdom holds that when you hit the jackpot, you take your winnings and leave. Dr. Evan Unger, president and CEO of ImaRx Therapeutics in Tucson, AZ, doesn't seem to pay much heed to that type of thinking, especially when it comes to developing his line of cutting-edge therapeutic agents.

Point-of-service coding ties payment to treatment
PHOENIX - Payment for healthcare services in the U.S. depends on the complex and unforgiving task of procedure coding. A presentation Friday at the American Healthcare Radiology Administrators Changing Workforce conference offered a strategy called point-of-service coding that promises to increase compliance as well as paid claims.

Rural telemedicine network digitizes film on the cheap
A lack of funding in many imaging centers has forced administrators to be creative when it comes to capital acquisitions. In the rural Southwestern U.S., clinics connected to telemedicine networks have turned to digital camera technology as an innovative solution to equipment budget constraints.

Japanese researchers address challenge of multivendor PACS
Due to budget constraints, personnel turnover, and the availability of technologies, PACS networks are often made up of equipment from several different vendors. Researchers from Tokushima University Hospital in Japan describe the challenges and opportunities they uncovered in a multivendor PACS environment.

Big PACS may mean a bigger workload for radiologists
Demand for the UCLA School of Medicine's PACS didn't just take hold over the past five years; it caught fire. But the rapid growth made some radiologists at the facility wonder: Do the largest PACS networks really ease the workload for radiologists who use them?

Avreo extends ARIIS services and pricing
Like any relationship, corporate mergers can be prone to difficulties. PACS vendor Avreo knows this firsthand, having recently canceled a planned merger with Imagemedical.com of Palo Alto, CA. Instead, New Orleans-based Avreo (formerly Riptide) has decided to focus on strengthening its Advanced Radiology Integrated Internet Solution (ARIIS).

Dynamic PET/CT and pathologic images for a 66-year-old male participant. (A) Axial dynamic PET/CT image acquired during intravenous administration of Ga-68 PSMA-11 demonstrates the hypermetabolic primary prostatic tumor. The right-sided portion of the lesion used for volume of interest (VOI) analysis is outlined in pink, reflecting the margins seen on a prior T2-weighted MRI scan. Tumor radiotracer uptake extends across midline into the left anterior apex (*). (B) Axial dynamic PET/CT image acquired during selective right prostatic arterial administration of Ga-68 PSMA-11 demonstrates intense radiotracer uptake in the VOI outlined in pink. There is comparatively minimal uptake in the unperfused left-sided portion of the tumor (*). The arterial sheath and catheters in the right groin are partially visualized (arrow). (C) Photomicrograph (hematoxylin-eosin stain; unmagnified) of the prostatic apex after radical prostatectomy. The midline (dotted line) and dominant tumor margins (solid line) are shown. Small additional areas of carcinoma (■) without T2-weighted MRI correlates were also identified at pathologic examination.
