Researchers are continuing to find potential uses for AI in cancer detection, according to a study published Oct. 30 in Academic Radiology. 

Here are five health systems and private practices that have opened radiology and medical imaging centers recently:

Radiology is at a pivotal point. Workforce shortages in health care, including radiology, contribute to the increasing levels of burnout.

CMS has issued a new add-on payment for radiopharmaceuticals that use domestically produced radioisotopes, starting Jan. 1, 2026, as part of its 2025 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System rule shared Nov. 1. 

A recent American Society of Radiologic Technologists survey found the average salary of radiologic technologists rose 12.3% since 2022, reaching an average of $86,484.

A radiologist is suing Portland, Ore.-based Northwest Permanente for $8.25 million after allegedly experiencing retaliation for reporting patient care fraud, according to a Nov. 1 Statesman Journal report. 

As one of only 27 centers in the U.S. to house the technology, WellSpan York (Pa.) Hospital is utilizing the power of precision AI to treat prostate cancer. 

Madison-based University of Wisconsin will establish the Thomas Grist, MD/GE HealthCare Foundation Distinguished Chair in Radiology Research, funded by a $3 million gift from the GE HealthCare Foundation.

Production at a European nuclear reactor may restart earlier than expected, potentially relieving an expected radioisotope shortage that could affect medical imaging operations globally.

The American College of Radiology has updated its appropriateness criteria guidance with eight new and 18 revised topics. Established in 1993, the criteria is reviewed by experts in diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology each year.
