Patients with Lung-RADS 4A findings who spoke with a clinician by phone were three times more likely to see things through, experts wrote in JAMA Network Open. 

The boost comes after the Los Angeles-based imaging center chain recently closed a $259M public stock offering, with a sizable chunk earmarked for expansion initiatives. 

John Tentinger, MD, said he has been working on the deal for about a decade, purchasing the 25-acre piece of land for $5.5M. 

About 40% of rads said they accept studies across all areas of expertise. Yet, less than half are “very confident” reading them. 

Patients are waiting upward of nine months for biopsies, prompting concerns from the local radiological society. 

The disparity persisted even when adjusting for demographic and socioeconomic factors, experts reported Friday in JAMA Network Open. 

SimonOne utilizes AI, advanced clinical protocols and the “best available” equipment to detect diseases before symptoms arise, the PE-backed group announced. 

Inspira Health is bringing together its long-time imaging partner and an outside competitor to help bolster access and expand services.
