ACR and others have submitted a formal national coverage determination request, asking the agency to address payment gaps for virtual colonoscopies. 

A team of researchers have developed a new tool that benchmarks brain development and growth based on over 120,000 MRI scans.

In a new study published in the AJR, pre-scan same day eGFR testing revealed that out of 10,256 patients who had these labs, only 1.4% displayed levels below the recommended cutoff.

Researchers revealed the MRI findings were associated with worse externalizing behavior scores in children with prenatal alcohol exposure and are a cause of concern for pediatric brain development.

Along with X-rays, the new outposts will also offer primary care, lab work, EKGs, behavioral health, dental, optical, and hearing services, all for a flat fee, the retailer reported. 

Sant’Andrea University Hospital in Rome saw overall imaging volumes plummet 21.5% but improved numbers among vulnerable populations using real-time data, experts wrote in European Radiology. 

Experts suggest that their findings indicate dose reference levels could be shirt size specific in the not so distant future, according to a study published in the European Journal of Radiology. 

The authors hope their findings could lead to earlier diagnoses and improvements in patient care.
