The radiology world was turned on its head this week with the publication of a new paper in JAMA Internal Medicine on CT radiation risk. Researchers estimated that all the CT scans performed in the U.S. in a single year would cause more than 100k cancers over the lives of the patients who got them. Radiation risk has always been the Achilles heel of CT, radiology’s workhorse modality for advanced imaging.

Reimbursement is one of the major stumbling blocks holding back wider clinical adoption of artificial intelligence. But new legislation was introduced into the U.S. Congress last week that could ease AI’s reimbursement path. For AI developers, getting an algorithm approved is just the first step toward commercial acceptance. Perhaps even more important than FDA clearance is Medicare reimbursement, as healthcare providers are reluctant to use a product they won’t get paid for.

If you think new imaging IT technologies will reduce radiologist workload in the future, you might want to think again. Researchers who analyzed hundreds of studies on new scientific advances predicted that nearly half of them would increase radiologists’ workload – especially AI. Radiologists are desperately in need of help to manage rising imaging volumes during a period of global workforce shortages.

It’s no secret that radiology faces a variety of challenges, from rising imaging volumes to workforce shortages. But can imaging IT vendors help? A new paper in Academic Radiology suggests they can, and provides a list of the half-dozen imaging IT tools that radiologists say they need most. Radiology is already one of the most software-oriented specialties in medicine.

Non-radiologist providers are reading almost half of medical images acquired in the office practice setting. A new analysis in AJRraises questions about both the quality of these interpretations as well as whether they are contributing to imaging overutilization. Radiologists have jealously guarded their role as the primary interpreters of medical images, but keeping referring physicians away is like holding back the tide – especially when they control the patients.
