Medical Imaging

Physicians utilize medical imaging to see inside the body to diagnose and treat patients. This includes computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, angiography,  and the nuclear imaging modalities of PET and SPECT. 

The Radiology Patient Action Network (RPAN) and the Radiology Business Management Association (RBMA) are calling on Congress to take action to protect healthcare from tariffs. RPAN and DF images combined

Tariffs threaten imaging access for patients, RBMA warns

Radiology practices are already operating on razor thin margins, with price increases prompting calls for congressional action to prevent further damage.

Cardiologists make history, perform world’s first ventricular ablation guided by real-time MRI

“MRI images provide a better view of the anatomy of the heart and the instruments used for treatment, but also of the changes made to the treated cardiac tissue,” one cardiologist explained. “Unlike X-ray images, the entire area surrounding the heart can be seen, including the blood vessels and valves."
