Imaging AI tools and algorithms continue to be rapidly developed and deployed into clinics, but experts say theres an elephant in the room that still needs to be addressed: reimbursement. Specifically, AI supporters are focusing on the lack of current procedural terminology (CPT) codes representing imaging services performed with AI. CPT codes are needed for appropriate insurance reimbursement.

The 2024 version of the LI-RADS Ultrasound Surveillance system improves detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) over earlier iterations, a study published January 22 in the American Journal of Roentgenology found. Researchers led by Sang Hyun Choi, MD, PhD, from the University of Ulsan in Seoul, South Korea found that LI-RADS version 2024 (v2024) leads to higher sensitivity but lower specificity for HCC detection compared to LI-RADS version 2017 (v2017).

About 40% of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime, and patients are getting younger. At the same time, the cost of treatment continues to rise, with employers spending 8.5% more on cancer care for each employee than they did last year. The best thing employers can do for their employees and business tomorrow is to invest in cancer detection and care today.
