First Volumetric OCT Device Cleared in the US for Endoscopic, Esophageal Imaging
For the first time, an optical coherence tomography imaging system will enable both physicians and pathologists to visualize real-time, high-resolution, volumetric images of organs and tissues up to 3-mm deep, at better than 10-micrometer resolution. More...06 May 2013
Ordering of US Hospital Imaging Tests Remains the Same with or Without Knowing the Cost
In a study designed to determine if physicians who are informed of the precise cost of expensive medical testing in advance would order less of them, US investigators found out that the answer is no. More...07 Feb 2013
