Decision support for radiology is designed to benefit the radiologists, hospitals and the healthcare system in several ways - by improving patient outcomes, decreasing healthcare costs and urging providers to take part in pay-for-performance (P4P) initiatives. However, decision support has not been readily embraced without some resistance.


The rising tide of teleradiology services is being heralded by some as a breakthrough in radiology that will ultimately improve the quality of healthcare and provide new jobs for U.S. radiologists.


With the election of a new president and Congress, not to mention a tumultuous economy, medical imaging, just like many other medical sectors, faces uncertain times going in to 2009.


Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) is an application that has been recently bolstered by the development of quantitative tools that enhance the system’s clinical capabilities in the nuclear cardiology community.


Despite the current decline triggered by the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA), the U.S. medical imaging market is expected to recover by 2010. In 2008, the medical imaging market was valued at over $9.2 billion, growing at an associated CAGR of 4.2 percent by 2015.

The gap between medical display quality and COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) is quickly coming down to just the attributes added by the medical display manufacturer to stabilize the back lights and incorporate a look-up-table (LUT) for compliance to DICOM Part 3.14, grayscale standard display function (GSDF).

However, performance minimums for primary reading, LUTs and back light stabilization maintain the divide between displays that meet radiology reading requirements and those that target the consumer.

Healthcare IT professionals from many countries are looking to the U.S. for examples on how to best deploy and implement imaging informatics technology. In addition, they want the professionals who administer and manage these critical systems in their countries to be highly qualified.
