“A likely explanation is that higher-acuity inpatient and emergency settings involve more clinically complex examinations, creating additional opportunities for AI to provide value by serving as a complementary detection tool alongside radiologist interpretation” via @RadiologyBiz @JACRJournal

"The pandemic created an urgent need to reduce patient exposure risk and minimize healthcare visits, but this study shows that this need translated to beneficial clinical changes" via @RadiologyBiz @ElizabethYRula

"This [study] is among the reasons the @RadiologyACR supports passage of the Patients First Act [H.R. 9693], legislation that includes a section requiring physicians ordering advanced imaging to consult appropriate use criteria prior to those studies being performed" via @AuntMinnie @JACRJournal #PatientsFirstAct #AppropriateUseCriteria #MedicalImaging #Radiology #HealthPolicy
Self-interpretation by ordering clinicians may be tied to higher imaging use, according to new research. Read the full story: buff.ly/IZRSMJv #Radiology #MedicalImaging #DiagnosticImaging

“Our results point to the importance of radiologists as part of the care team to ensure that imaging is necessary, appropriate & aligned with clinical need. Policy that establishes more stringent standards for non-radiologist interpretation may reduce inappropriate imaging that increases economic burdens and poses patient-safety risks" via @RadiologyBiz @JACRJournal

New evidence out of @NeimanHPI suggests that ordering clinicians self-interpreting images is tied to low-value imaging, adding to the patient cost burden. @RadiologyACR said this study highlights the need for the Patients First Act. #radiology #health auntminnie.com/practice-mana…

A new @JACRJournal study of over 24 million Medicare office visits found 188% higher odds of imaging when ordering clinicians interpreted their own imaging. Practices that referred imaging to radiologists had lower utilization, and researchers estimate office-based imaging could be reduced by 17% without self-interpretation. #Radiology #MedicareResearch neimanhpi.org/press-releases…

For years, imaging volumes climbed. But turnaround times barely moved. Then, suddenly, the curve broke. 📈 🎙️Eric Christensen, PhD explains why what happened over the last few years may be a warning that radiology has finally run out of slack. 🎧 Listen to the full episode now: shorturl.at/0mGek #Radiology #Radtwitter #Radres @NeimanHPI @JACRJournal

🚨 New podcast: What happens when radiologists reach their limits? Neiman HPI Research Director Eric Christensen, PhD, joins Contrast & Clarity (@Contrast_Pod) with the @JACRJournal to discuss growing imaging demand, workforce pressures, and why recent data suggest radiology may have little capacity left to absorb additional workload. 🎙️ Listen to the conversation: shorturl.at/kPDCt #Radiology #RadTwitter #HealthPolicy
🚨 Radiology may have officially run out of slack. For years, we handled more imaging by working harder and reading faster. Now? The data suggest we have hit maximum capacity. 🎙️ Eric Christensen, PhD joins us to ask: What happens when we simply can’t read any faster?
