An exploratory study was undertaken to determine the role and practice issues of radiology coding in health information management (HIM) practice. The study sought to identify the challenges of radiology coding and the solutions implemented to address these challenges. A self-report survey was sent to 828 American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) members identified as directors...

Machine learning (ML) and deep (DL) technologies introduced in the fields of medical physics, radiology, oncology have made great strides past few years. A good many applications proven to be an efficacious automated diagnosis radiotherapy system. This paper outlines DL's general concepts principles, key computational methods, resources, as well implementation models diagnostic radiology radiat...

background: healing of critical-sized defects (csds) is one of the major challenges facing orthopedic surgeons. to assess the bone healing process usually plain radiography is used. serial radiography results in certain side effects and recent findings are indicating the early detection of bone healing via ultrasonography. objectives: the purpose of current study is to compare the diagnostic ac...

The development of new radiation detectors of low cost but with adequate materials is a very important task for countries that have to import ionization chambers such as Brazil. A special double faced ionization chamber was developed for use in conventional diagnostic radiology beams and computed tomography energy ranges. The results show that this new chamber present applicability in conventio...

For the most part, a system of component coding is used in these cases, in order to accurately describe the separately identifiable surgical and imaging services performed by the radiologist. In this way, the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code structure recognizes that there can be variations in the services performed during diagnostic angiography and vascular transcatheter therapies, wh...
