“These results suggest that hospitals need to substantially improve the integration of their online pricing data with frontline staff who interact with patients," investigators wrote in JAMA Internal Medicine. 

The program landed on tethered cord syndrome, which a neurosurgeon later confirmed as the correct diagnosis. 

Both will work in tandem to produce new research and products, aspiring to “transform the experience of patients and clinicians in the practice of radiology.” 

The new recall, which includes more than 155,000 implantable pulse generators, is due to ongoing issues with the devices being unable to exit MRI mode and return to normal use. 

“As the use of monoclonal antibodies becomes more widespread, close collaboration between neurologists and radiologists is needed," one expert advised. 

This change in clinical practice could increase scanner throughput, leading to decreased costs, patient discomfort and motion artifacts, experts noted. 

An organization could add an additional $87,532 on one MRI machine or over $260,000 via CT each year through strategic site selection, experts estimated.

“We argue that the results could be replicated elsewhere if guidelines are followed and the urologist and MRI radiologist are dedicated,” researchers noted.
