Last year was the first time in a decade physician salaries didn’t increase by at least 2 percent, according to a survey published this week by AMGA Consulting. Though radiologists saw a dip in their average salaries, they’re still faring well compared to specialties like neurology and internal medicine.

As healthcare providers work to develop and implement enterprise imaging strategies, they often run into the same roadblocks again and again. A new white paper published in the Journal of Digital Imaging examined many of these issues, providing insight into what specialists can do to get past such problems and move forward.

A report evaluating five years of radiology-related medical professional liability claims found 80 percent of all diagnosis-related claims stem from the misinterpretation of clinical tests. Additionally, 80 percent of missed diagnosis claims in radiology result in either permanent injury or death.

Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) powered by artificial intelligence can accurately assess diminutive colorectal polyps, according to a new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine. But is the CAD’s performance level high enough that specialists can follow the recommended “diagnose-and leave” strategy for diminutive polyps?
