MRI radiomics features can differentiate breast cancers based on human epidermal growth factor receptors (HERs), according to research published January 24 in the American Journal of Roentgenology. Researchers led by Yuqin Peng from Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou, Guangdong found that their nomogram based on MRI radiomics can distinguish HER2-zero from HER2-low or HER2-positives cancers, as well as HER2-low from HER2-positive cancers.

Out-of-network billing by radiologists – often referred to as “surprise billing” – dropped significantly beginning in 2007 and imaging claims are now almost completely in network, according to a recent study. In an analysis of billing trends, the rate of out-of-network (OON) imaging claims declined from 12.6% in 2007 to 1.1% in 2021, with the decline occurring broadly across imaging modalities, noted lead author Jay Parikh, MD, of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
