The outpatient-imaging sector has been consolidating as a result of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, which decreased reimbursement for several types of imaging exams. Now, hospitals are absorbing struggling outpatient centers, and as the entities merge, a unified interface is required between the outpatient centers and their affiliate hospitals.

The clinical adoption of 64-slice CT equipment has spiked over the last two years due, in large part, to an aggressive shift of cardiac procedures to computer tomographic angiography (CTA) and MR angiography.

It’s no secret many clinicians have predicted coronary CT angiography (CCTA) would replace invasive angiography for the detection of coronary artery disease for low- and medium-risk patients.


Could “mCT” be the new moniker for molecular imaging as manufacturers try to reinvent the molecular imaging market?
