Here are some interesting new technologies and key trends from the vast expo floor at the Radiological Society of North America 2022 meeting.

Ed Gaines, JD, vice president of regulatory affairs and industry liaison, Zotec Partners, discussed the impact of the 2023 Medicare Fee Schedule on radiology at RSNA 2022 in Chicago last week. RSNA and several other medical societies say the cuts are not sustainable.

Clinicians who routinely manage patients screened for lung cancer with low-dose CT have a new 1-page printout to illuminate evidence-based care pathways when faced with significant but questionably urgent incidental findings.

Women with dense breasts or other heightened risk factors for breast cancer may be on the cusp of receiving 100% coverage for additional imaging beyond standard mammography.

Claustrophobic or not, most would choose the radiation-free modality over CT and tend to consider imaging-exam outcomes more worrisome than MRI in and of itself anyway.

I’ll be honest, I had no plans to go into teleradiology straight from residency. However, I fell into it because economic conditions meant choices were slim as I started my career in 2014.
