May 19, 2010 - The Imaging e-Ordering Coalition announced today it is seeking assistance from ordering and imaging providers who are willing to document their administrative expenses in ordering through a radiology benefits management (RBM) company, including the appeals process for those orders.

May 18, 2010 - Proton beam therapy is becoming more accessible in the United States.

While proton beam therapy has proved to be more precise in delivering dose to tumors compared to conventional external beam radiation, the larger proton beam accelerator is more expensive, and the process requires special training.

May 18, 2010 - Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America, affecting one in six men. It is estimated that there are more than 2 million American men currently living with prostate cancer.

May 18, 2010 - New wireless digital radiography (DR) systems are in increasing demand as the untethered detectors are well suited for producing digital images in confined spaces, positioning around patients with limited mobility, remote imaging, emergency rooms, sterile environments, and the intensive care unit (ICU).

May 18, 2010 - Fetal nuchal translucency (NT) thickness is the standard of care in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) for detecting increased nuchal translucency, a factor associated with increased risk of aneuploidy, fetal structural malformations, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

May 17, 2010 - The radiation oncology community will discuss steps manufacturers of linear accelerators, radiation therapy treatment planning systems and radiation therapy simulators can take to help reduce misadministration and misaligned exposures.

May 17, 2010 - Physicians and other caregivers can collaborate and communicate over networks via standard computer systems, laptops, tablets, mobile smart phones, and new devices such as the iPad.
