Report: Radiation therapy market regains stability
Radiation therapy providers in the U.S. are again buying new equipment and upgrades after surviving the effects of the Great Recession, which caused utilization to fall 22% from 2007 through 2008, according to a new report from market research firm IMV Medical Information Division.

CORE 320 study evaluates CCTA and SPECT for CAD diagnosis
A new comparative effectiveness study has found that 320-detector-row coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is better than SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). But MPI still helps avoid unnecessary cardiac catheterization and revascularization.

Study affirms CCTA's value to rule out myocardial infarction
Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is clinically safe and may use medical resources more effectively than conventional methods for evaluating chest pain in patients who are at low or intermediate risk of myocardial infarction, according to research presented earlier this month at the American College of Cardiology meeting.

A rocky road awaits radiologists during Obamacare rollout
SAN FRANCISCO - Higher taxes, lower reimbursement, and more federal control over the use of advanced imaging in clinical practice. Dr. Frank J. Lexa used these terms to describe a dark vision of radiology after healthcare reform at the 2012 California Radiological Society annual meeting.
