The findings are the result of an analysis of more than 13,000 imaging reports containing additional follow-up recommendations.

Bob Still, executive director of the Radiologist Business Management Association, believes CMS’s proposed physician fee schedule for 2023 will harm vulnerable populations and seriously injure U.S. healthcare. Hear him out.

One out of every seven radiologist follow-up recommendations contained in imaging reports is not carried out, experts recently reported in JAMA Network Open.

More than half of a couple hundred patients who completed a new survey, 52%, ran into trouble when trying to see their medical images and reports or share same with their care team.

Radiology researchers from six leading medical schools have laid out some attuned and readily adoptable strategies for groups challenged to prosper in a time of difficult reimbursement dynamics.

Two weeks ago CMS proposed a 2023 physician fee schedule (PFS) that stands to slash pay to U.S. diagnostic radiologists by 3% and interventionalists by 4%. This week the U.K.’s National Health Service put that country’s radiologists in a similar bind.

Female authorship in musculoskeletal radiology research has seen a steady climb over the last two decades—a positive trend that is indicative of progress in a field where leadership is largely dominated by males. 

Reviewing a 20-month run with a radiologist-to-technologist communications tool, researchers have found minor problems with image quality 10 times more common than patient callbacks for repeat imaging.
