Complementary Technologies in Women's Imaging Having Positive Impact

Providers keeping a close eye on hurdles that hint at change within women's imaging.

2013-05-14

OREM, UT, May 14, 2013 (Press-News.org) Advanced women's imaging is taking center stage as providers are now looking at the performance of supporting technologies to ensure accurate diagnosis. That and other key insights can be found in a newly released KLAS report entitled Women's Imaging 2013: Measuring the Options.

This report also dives into the biggest obstacles facing women's imaging as told by the providers. Reimbursement, patient education, and state notification bills about breast density are some factors that healthcare providers are watching closely as they look to the future of women's imaging.

"There is a lot of energy around women's imaging and how different technologies are coming together to improve the delivery of care," said Monique Rasband, research director at KLAS and report author. "But another side of the story will shed light on what effect the lack of reimbursement and laws such as the notification bill are having on women's imaging."

The vendors highlighted in this report include Hologic for their top performance, Siemens for improvement in their automation, GE Healthcare for their solid network of field support engineers and MRS for becoming a leader in MIS for the first time.

Other vendors highlighted in this report include Aurora, Carestream, Dilon, FUJIFILM, PenRad and MagView.

Colorless Green Ideas

2013-05-14

Language universals are due to "Brain Relativity" and have little to do with different languages evolving with the same structures independently. Noam Chomsky used what is now a famous sentence: colorless green ideas sleep furiously. He noted that reversing the order made no sense: furiously sleep ideas green colorless. When one applies Brain Relativity to the problem, the problem disappears. Colorless green ideas sleep furiously is almost a complete sentence in English: The colorless green ideas sleep furiously. Adding the word "the" makes it a ...

Will trucking accidents increase amid the oil boom in West Texas?

2013-05-14

In recent years, the oil production surge in West Texas' Permian Basin has increased oil drilling in the state to levels reminiscent of the 1980s. But, even though this particular boom has injected much needed money into this region's economy, it will likely strain many of the area's roads with increased trucking traffic. Sadly, given that many of the Texas roads in this region were not designed to handle such high levels of trucking congestion, trucking accidents almost seem inevitable. Rise in West Texas oil production According to a recent article by The Dallas ...

2013-05-14

Going through a divorce can be an especially trying and emotional time for both spouses. Sadly, in some instances divorcing couples are so distraught, or in a hurry to end the difficult process, that they forget to tie up all the loose ends. Unfortunately, overlooking even the smallest of these details during a Virginia divorce can have far-reaching consequences if not rectified promptly - which was recently illustrated in a Virginia case heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. Is a Virginia widow or ex-wife entitled to federal life insurance benefits? The recent Supreme ...

Confronting the iceberg: delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis

2013-05-14

A delayed diagnosis or a misdiagnosis of a condition can lead to serious complications -- including death. For example, delays in diagnosing melanoma after pointing out irregular moles might mean a less favorable outcome. In other cases, a complete misdiagnosis of an illness could prove fatal. This could occur if a family physician sends a child home with a stomach virus diagnosis after failing to ask more questions and catch indications of acute appendicitis. Patients need to be aware of how doctors reach a diagnosis and ask questions. New research has found that more ...

US soldier alleges harassment for association of her name with Islam

2013-05-14

The disturbing story of a U.S. Army sergeant's painful odyssey through three tours of duty while enduring regular harassment because of her name illustrates just why federal civil rights law prohibits religious discrimination in federal employment. Through active duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, Sgt. 1st Class Nadia Christian Nova, formerly known as Naida Hosan, was the recipient of verbal abuse because of her then-last name's similarity to family names associated with the practice of Islam. AP recently released a detailed feature story in which Nova, who is Catholic with ...

Sex offender registration has dire consequences for juveniles

2013-05-14

Since the 1990s, every state in the U.S. has had laws requiring those convicted of certain sex offenses to register with local law enforcement and obligating police to make the information on the registries public. Many states, and some municipalities and counties within states, have laws prohibiting those on their sex offender registries from living in certain areas near schools, parks or other areas children frequent. These laws do not exclude juveniles convicted of sex offenses from registry requirements. A report from Human Rights Watch issued in May 2013 revealed the ...
