While they gave the system points for patient convenience, it's still unclear whether such a unit has a role in a clinical environment.June 5, 2007Nuclear MedicineSNM Image of the Year; CAD for PETJune 4, 2007Practice ManagementCalifornia radiology group sues UnitedHealthcare over payment cutsA dispute over third-party insurance reimbursement for scans of contiguous body parts has broken out into litigation in California.

But a group from Duke University in Durham, NC, hopes to make radiography competitive again with the use of digital x-ray tomosynthesis and a computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm.June 3, 2007Previous PagePage 100 of 190Next PageTop StoriesBreastDBT performance improves with patient ageDBT led to higher cancer detection rates and lower abnormal interpretation rates in older women in a study over 93,000 women.Digital X-RayAI fails to compensate for night-shift fatigue among residentsPractice ManagementTrainee-led informed consent talks with patients often insufficientCTHigh CAC scores nearly doubles 30-year mortality in young adultsSponsor ContentFREE webinar: find your imaging capacity
