November 10, 2010 – A new version of a medical decision support solution will be unveiled at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting in Chicago. OderRight 2.0, by MedCurrent, gives physicians the information they need at the time radiologic tests are ordered so that the most appropriate study is performed.


Hospitals everywhere are starting to convert from computed radiography (CR) to digital radiography (DR) in order to achieve better image quality, improved productivity and higher patient output. While DR is infiltrating the radiography market, CR still dominates due to its lower price, portability and flexibility in retrofitting older X-ray equipment.

With the approved but yet-to-be-well-defined healthcare plan, severe economic upheaval and changing regulations having a significant negative impact on radiology, 2010 was a challenging year, to say the least.
