Could decision-support software help radiology fend off RBMs?
CHICAGO - One of the (many) trends vexing medical imaging is the rise of radiology benefits management (RBM) firms. But decision-support software could give physicians the tools they need to more effectively order imaging studies without the heavy-handed oversight that RBMs typically use, according to a presentation at this week's Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society meeting.

MedCurrent tackles front end of insurance verification
A new start-up company is bringing to market software that tackles the thorny issue of patient insurance verification. MedCurrent is taking a different approach to the process, offering a service that vets patients' insurance status prior to imaging studies being performed, rather than after the fact.

Digital tomo works well for some kidney, ureteral stones
A new study by Belgian researchers indicates that digital tomosynthesis could be useful for assessing ureteral and kidney stones, particularly for screening patients prior to CT. But the digital radiography technique has different levels of accuracy depending on the location and size of stones.

Mammography CAD recalls baffle CADET II researchers
Why do radiologists reviewing mammograms accept some prompts made by computer-aided detection (CAD) software, while others are rejected? Even researchers from one of Europe's most prominent CAD studies aren't sure, according to research presented at this month's European Congress of Radiology.
