Mammo Screening Deserts Limit Access November 17, 2025
It’s no secret that there are sharp regional differences in healthcare access in the U.S. But a new report puts a price on the access problem as it pertains to mammography – nearly 10k additional cases of breast cancer a year due to limited access in “cancer screening deserts” that don’t have mammography equipment. Mammography […]

Why MRI Providers Make Patient Comfort a Top Priority November 16, 2025
Smart MRI providers know patient comfort is linked to profitability. After all, the comfort quotient impacts image quality, diagnostic accuracy, operational efficiency, and patient satisfaction. When patients are claustrophobic or uncomfortable, it negatively impacts MRI providers… But it doesn’t have to be this way. Providers should seek out high-performance MRI systems designed with patient comfort […]

Opportunistic Screening Takes Big Step Forward November 13, 2025
Opportunistic screening took a big step forward this week with new research in Nature Scientific Reports showing how an AI algorithm from Riverain Technologies was able to calculate coronary artery calcium scores from non-contrast CT scans – with performance close to that of radiologists. Opportunistic screening gives radiologists the chance to detect clinical conditions other […]

Radiology Untethered: Sirona’s Approach to Unified Radiology November 13, 2025
Radiology stands at a breaking point. Hospitals and imaging practices are overwhelmed by fragmented IT systems, cumbersome technology integrations, and staff burnout. Medical imaging is the central hub through which more than 80% of healthcare data flows, but it’s become hobbled by technology that was never designed to work together. Sirona Medical is changing the […]

Medicare Payment Pushback to 2026 Physician Rates November 6, 2025
CMS gave U.S. medical specialists a fright on Halloween with the publication of its final 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. The new MPFS rates lock in a controversial “efficiency adjustment” for specialist physicians (including radiologists) and continue a decline in Medicare payment rates for specialists. Physicians have long complained about low reimbursement rates in the […]
