News & Analysis | | Delivery of Care: Creating Communication Inroads | | The healthcare industry continues to look for ways to improve care delivery, quality of care, and outreach. However, these discussions often fail to consider the challenge of real-world logistics.

| Addressing the MRI and CT Adoption Gap in Cardiovascular Imaging Certification | | While nuclear cardiac imaging and echocardiography have been the mainstays of cardiovascular imaging modalities, MRI and CT offer cardiologists additional diagnostic tools that could improve outcomes in patients with heart disease. For example, advances in coronary CT technology allow for novel analyses such as removal of artifacts related to coronary calcification, detailed coronary plaque characterization, and even dynamic myocardial perfusion analysis. |
| Online Reviews Reveal Patterns of Discrimination in Hospital Setting | | Earlier research has shown that discrimination based on minority patients' race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability generates worse health outcomes.
