There is a high incidence of ultrasound work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) among sonographers. Aside from the lasting personal toll, sonographer injury intensifies workforce shortages, which can cause unexpected operational and financial challenges for your ultrasound department.

November 12, 2020 — GE Healthcare announced U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance of its SIGNA 7.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner.

The use of cardiovascular computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is one of the areas that has seen a sudden increase in use and value since the start of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The use of cardiovascular computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is one of the areas that has seen a sudden increase in use and value since the start of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While SARS-CoV-2 has significantly impacted cardiovascular care delivery, with a large reduction in elective diagnostic testing and face-to-face patient care, it also resulted in a necessary re-examination of how cardiac care is delivered.
Just as it has been difficult for us to predict the course of this pandemic, so too have healthcare organizations been challenged to predict and evolve their operations to optimize patient care — as well as revenue. In the initial wave, healthcare’s technology needs shifted rapidly.

Just as it has been difficult for us to predict the course of this pandemic, so too have healthcare organizations been challenged to predict and evolve their operations to optimize patient care — as well as revenue. In the initial wave, healthcare’s technology needs shifted rapidly. Some organizations immediately shifted as clusters emerged, increasing bed capacity, converting non-clinical spaces to intensive care units and expanding telehealth programs.

What a year this has been. As I write this column in late-October, The New York Times (NYT) reported over 8.7 million cases of novel coronavirus in the U.S. to date, and more than 225,600 deaths. At least 534 new coronavirus deaths and 74,323 new cases were reported in the United States on Oct. 26 alone. Over the past week, there have been an average of 71,092 cases per day, an increase of 40 percent from the average two weeks earlier. Globally, the numbers are just as grim.

Enterprise imaging (EI) gives physicians the necessary resources to give their patients the best care possible, yet doing this both efficiently and effectively can be challenging. First a plan must be developed that details the objectives that need to be achieved, followed by an outline to meet these objectives.

November 11, 2020 — Low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening methods may prevent one death per 250 at-risk adults screened, according to a meta-analysis of eight randomized controlled clinical trials of lung cancer screening.

November 11, 2020 — Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), in combination with synthetic mammography, improves cancer detection over digital mammography alone, according to a study from Italy published in the journal Radiology.

This paper will focus on the infrastructure of both software and hardware required to support the collection, normalization, and contextualization of all forms of clinical content. Collectively discrete content and imaging data is subsequently acted upon by Artificial Intelligence algorithms in the creation of predictive/suggestive and prescriptive analytics which can be used by clinicians to help reduce turnaround times and help improve patient care through better patient outcomes.
