Achieving unprecedented clinical and business efficiencies. Winning new business. Brandishing vanguard-level technology prowess while employing zero IT staff. Such are the returns mid-size radiology practices are realizing from their selection of the cloud-based, hardware-agnostic IRP/Plexus Imaging Workflow Management system.

The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) board of directors has unanimously voted that it does not support the proposal by the American Board of Nuclear Medicine (ABNM) and American Board of Radiology (ABR) to develop a new single training pathway that incorporates both nuclear medicine (NM) and diagnostic radiology (DR). 

If you think your patients and patient information are secure from hackers, you may want to stop and take a closer look. According to a presentation made by two security researchers at DerbyCon 5.0 in Louisville, Ky., many healthcare provider computer systems and medical devices in the United States are vulnerable to hackers.

The time has come for the profession of radiology to embrace a label it has been furiously trying to beat back for years: commoditization. The battle against those who wield it as a pejorative is not just futile, it's also counterproductive.

Intense pressure to move from fee-for-service to value-based care and reimbursement driving commercial payer, hospital system and group practice consolidations are forcing independent radiology practices of all sizes to reassess, and where required, increase their relevance to the systems they serve in order to remain successfully independent.

The pace of consolidation in the medical imaging industry, which could be accurately described as feverish from 2010 to 2013, has cooled.

HOUSTON (May 7, 2015) – Digisonics (Booth #523), a leading integrator/provider of Enterprise PACS and Structured Reporting Systems, will showcase its latest offerings to improve workflow efficiency at this year’s Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.
