Making Medicare affordable: The case for imaging management
When the Obama administration unveiled its 2013 budget last month, it proposed saving up to $5 billion in healthcare costs for Medicare and Medicaid, in part by requiring preauthorization for imaging services. In this op-ed piece, representatives from radiology benefits management firm American Imaging Management explain why that's a good idea.

Use of PCCT with gadoxetate disodium shows promise for liver imaging
By Kate Madden Yee
Using photon-counting CT (PCCT) with the gadolinium-based contrast agent gadoxetate disodium shows promise for improved liver visualization at a lower dose than is required for CT exams using other GBCA agents.

Using AI with mammography can help select women for breast MRI
By Amerigo Allegretto
Using AI with mammography can help select women at high risk of breast cancer for supplemental MRI.
February 4, 2025
Images depict a 55-year-old woman with a family history of breast cancer who underwent combined mammography and MRI screening. (A) Right and (B) left mediolateral oblique and (C) right and (D) left craniocaudal mammograms show a large known cyst in the left breast (arrow in B and D), but were otherwise assessed as being unremarkable. Breast tissue was judged to be extremely dense. (E) Concurrent axial subtraction MRI scan shows a large, diffuse, invasive lobular cancer (circle) in the right breast. The AI system provided a case-based cancer suspicion score of 8 on a scale of 0-10, which would have led to selection for MRI screening using both the score 5 and score 8 thresholds, but not the score 9 threshold.
