This editorial provides insight into value-based healthcare in Australia, including organisations such as New South Wales (NSW) Health, which has a focus on implementing and scaling value-based healthcare. This includes exemplary programmes in applying value-based principles in commissioning medical imaging services and expanding hypofractionation radiation therapy for breast cancer patients across the system. This special issue also showcases research in value-based healthcare and its application in medical radiation sciences in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), computed tomography (CT) and hypofractionated radiation therapy.

X-ray Imaging
Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

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...
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...
