Abstract:
Increasing health care consumerism has been proposed as a solution for rising U.S. health care costs. Although price transparency initiatives aim to inform patients about outof-pocket costs (OOPCs), challenges remain regarding price transparency tools, including limited accuracy of estimates, accounting for multiple payers for the same service, the need for quality measures, optimal OOPC delivery, and psychosocial consequences of OOPC information. As radiology practices consider implementing price transparency initiatives, improvements should address enhancing patients' experience with OOPC communication.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
