Cynthia E. Keen[email protected]Advanced VisualizationTechnological advances drive new 3D CPT codesIf your imaging practice frequently bills for 3D image reconstruction, you should be aware of recent changes in current procedural terminology (CPT) codes for advanced visualization techniques. The changes reflect the rapid pace at which 3D is being adopted for routine clinical use.February 20, 2006PACS/VNACanadian radiologists pursue lossy compression researchAlthough radiologists around the world utilize lossy compressed images, there's no consensus or uniform set of what constitutes acceptable standards. But the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) aims to change that.February 15, 2006AIChest x-ray CAD reaches reimbursement milestoneReimbursement is critical for the success of any new imaging technology. Adoption of chest x-ray CAD may have received just that boost following a recent release of an American Medical Association (AMA) Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code and a subsequent published non-Medicare resource-based relative value scale (RBRVS) code.November 21, 2005BreastDo DMIST results underestimate FFDM's impact?The results of the landmark Digital Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (DMIST) likely came as no surprise to radiologists who interpret digital mammograms. But the findings may underestimate the impact of full-field digital mammography (FFDM), according to some mammography experts.October 23, 2005BreastJury is still out on U.K. CAD utilizationSince 1998 more than 2,100 mammography computer-aided detection (CAD) systems have been sold in the U.S., but the technology has yet to be deployed by the National Health Service in the U.K. Past clinical studies have not made a persuasive case for its implementation. However, U.K. researchers of the Computer Aided Detection Evaluation Trial (CADET) believe that their findings merit further immediate evaluation of CAD technology.October 3, 2005BreastCAD marks: To save or not to save?The use of computer-aided detection (CAD) has become part of the diagnostic component of a mammography exam. And while there is no legal or professional requirement to keep CAD markings, radiologists may want to save them, according to some healthcare legal experts.August 31, 2005BreastCARS panel discusses the future of CADBERLIN - The potential of using computer-aided detection (CAD) as a diagnostic and clinical support tool in medicine has just begun to be discovered and commercially developed. Presentations at the two days of special sessions on CAD at the 2005 Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) meeting revealed that discovery and utilization are just the tip of the iceberg of possibilities.June 27, 2005CTtesting bard1 2 3June 19, 2001Previous PagePage 88 of 88Top StoriesMolecular ImagingSNMMI: Dual-targeting radioligand therapy safe for several cancersA new "dual-targeting" radioligand therapy has been shown to be safe and effective in humans.Molecular ImagingVideo from SNMMI: Phillip Kuo on new Alzheimer’s disease imaging guidelinesMolecular ImagingSNMMI: Dual PET/MRI technique could help manage primary aldosteronismMolecular ImagingSNMMI: Retreatment with Lu-177 PSMA-617 shows promise in mCRPC patientsSponsor ContentJoin Us June 26 at 12 Noon ET for a FREE webinar!
