The National Electrical Manufacturers Association has launched a new Web site, http://www.medicalimaging.org/, designed to educate the public on the value of medical imaging.
The site uses peer-review literature to highlight the ability of medical imaging and image-guided therapy technologies to detect disease early and provide minimally invasive therapy. This improves the quality of healthcare services, enhances patient safety, and makes the healthcare system more efficient, according to NEMA.
The site is also aimed at countering arguments that medical imaging is a contributor to rising healthcare costs, according to the Rosslyn, VA, organization. The site's content is based on studies from medical journals, as well as reports from private industry, think-tanks, and government agencies.
