Non-hospital imaging saves big bucks | Dermatology needs radiology | RCM partners: Konica Minolta + ImagineSoftware

Harvard’s David A. Rosman, MD, MBA, explains how moving imaging outside of hospitals could save billions of dollars for U.S. healthcare.

Dermatologists increasingly rely on medical imaging modalities—especially but not solely ultrasound—to help diagnose complex and diverse skin disorders. 

Konica Minolta partnered with ImagineSoftware to integrate its AI-driven revenue cycle management platform into the Exa PACS-RIS solution. 

If 25% tariffs go into effect, it could have a big impact on the cost of medical imaging and radiotherapy systems, with many manufacturing facilities in Mexico.
