Letter From the Editor



DRA-diology

DOTmed was among the first outlets to report the impact of Deficit Reduction Act on Medicare reimbursement for non-hospital imaging procedures. Our first report from the ground was in April 2007.

A recent study from ACR confirms what we found anecdotally -- that the impact is adverse and diverse, with modalities including MR, interventional and ultrasound hit worst.

Read more about this ongoing challenge to radiology, along with other news about technologies, discoveries and business topics. And don't miss the June issue of DOTmed Business News, focusing on nuclear medicine. It's now online.

See you tomorrow.
