Radiology Imaging

The radiology imaging channel includes technology news related to computed tomography (CT), digital radiography (DR / X-ray), ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiographic fluoroscopy (R/F), mammography, angiography, 3-D printing, contrast media injectors, molecular imaging, neurological imaging, pediatric imaging and radiation dose management. 

As a result of applying budget neutrality, specialties like interventional radiology and radiation oncology — which have high medical supply and equipment costs and lower clinical labor costs — are slated for potentially significant reimbursement reductions.
