The shift by insurance companies from reimbursement to fee-for-service has impacted the way physicians and practices are receiving compensation. In a recent survey conducted by Merritt Hawkins, researchers noted 25 percent of physicians have “compensation tied to quality and patient experience metrics.”

MIT researchers have developed an artificial intelligence-(AI) based algorithm that can register three-dimensional (3D) images 1,000 times more quickly than standard medical image registration techniques.

The combination of wearable monitoring with predictive analytics could hasten identifying acute exacerbation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a study published in JMIR mHealth and uHealth.

Previous studies on the impact telehealth tools had on caregiver support showed potential benefits, but evidence of quality is lacking, according to a new systematic review.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has shut down a $100 million study designed to settle the question over whether one alcoholic beverage per day is part of a heart-healthy diet.

Using an algorithm that allows radiologists to request follow-up emails as they dictate radiology reports can engage providers across the board and improve patient care, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

The Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA) submitted formal comments June 11 to the Energy and Commerce Committee applauding the organization’s investigation into medical device vulnerabilities and outlined suggested policies to advance cybersecurity for legacy medical imaging equipment.

Diabetes triples the risk of death from ischemic heart disease or stroke in women and doubles the risk in men with no previous vascular disease, according to new research published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge have been studying a machine learning algorithm they say makes the process of medical image registration more than 1,000 times faster.

Though it’s not yet approved for use in clinical trials, research out of the University of Cambridge has found that computed tomography of the joints could be a more accurate, less invasive alternative to x-ray for monitoring patients with arthritis.
