Who should do your radiology billing?
When it comes to medical billing, there are two options: in-house billing and outsourced billing. The question is which one is right for your specific radiology group. With reimbursement shrinking, radiologists must weigh the pros and cons of both options.

Ultrafast MRI exam bests standard MRI for classifying breast cancers
By Amerigo Allegretto
An ultrafast MRI-based radiomics exam performs just as well as standard MRI and isn’t dependent on radiologist experience.

Ultrafast and standard MRI in a 30-year-old woman with triple-negative invasive ductal carcinoma. (A) Ultrafast MRI taken 16.8 seconds after contrast agent injection. (B) Standard MRI taken 58.8 seconds after contrast agent injection. Both images show an oval-shaped, irregular marginated, rim-enhancing mass in the left outer breast. For 3D tumor segmentation, the entire enhanced tumor margins were drawn from top to bottom of each tumor in axial views of U2 phase postcontrast ultrafast MRI and the initial phase postcontrast standard MRI. Among the 14 ultrafast images, U1 is the first phase in which the signal intensity of the hotspot region of interest of the tumor is 10% higher than the average signal intensity of unenhanced images. U2 is the immediate next phase of U1 and the well-established tumor enhancement time.
