MBI could help breast centers caught in economic squeeze
As breast imaging facilities consider new technologies as possible adjuncts to mammography, the weak economy is becoming a factor in their decision-making process. In the face of falling patient volumes and squeezed capital equipment budgets, could molecular breast imaging (MBI) offer an alternative that enables breast centers to do more with less?

Study: X-ray radiation dose to obese may be higher than thought
Radiation dose delivered to obese patients during radiography and fluoroscopy procedures may be higher than previously estimated -- and could be reaching levels as high as 28 mSv for an abdominal x-ray exam, according to a new study. But careful patient positioning may be able to help reduce dose in the obese.

Medical imaging hopes to cut losses in Medicare reform debate
The U.S. medical imaging community is experiencing both anticipation and angst as Congress and the Obama administration prepare to tackle rising healthcare spending. Many imaging observers are concerned that the government may repeat recent history by approaching imaging reimbursement with a hatchet rather than a scalpel.
