										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when individuals and organizations around the world unite to raise awareness about one of the most prevalent and potentially life-threatening diseases affecting women and, in some cases, men. Throughout this month, <a href="https://vestarad.com/creative-mammogram-awareness-campaigns/">campaigns</a>, events, and educational initiatives aim to promote early detection, support those impacted by breast cancer, and advance research efforts. In this article, we will delve into the latest news and developments in the field of breast cancer awareness and research, highlighting the ongoing efforts to combat this disease and improve the lives of those affected by it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h3><b>Migraine and Breast Cancer: Is There a Link?</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Migraine, a debilitating neurological disorder affecting 14-15% of the global population, has been associated with various health risks, including stroke, high blood pressure, epilepsy, tinnitus, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).</span><a href="https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/is-there-a-link-between-migraine-and-breast-cancer-risk" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Recent research has explored a potential link between migraines and breast cancer,</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> both influenced by estrogen levels. While some studies suggest a higher breast cancer risk in individuals with migraines, others indicate the opposite or mixed results.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4610" src="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/migraine-breast-cancer.jpg" alt="woman with a migraine" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/migraine-breast-cancer.jpg 640w, https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/migraine-breast-cancer-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A study by researchers from the Cancer Center at West China Hospital of Sichuan University in China delved into this connection, utilizing genetic data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Their Mendelian randomization analysis revealed that women with any type of migraine face an increased risk of overall breast cancer and estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. Notably, women experiencing migraine headaches without aura showed a heightened risk of ER-negative breast cancer, with suggestive associations for overall breast cancer risk.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, medical experts caution that this study is retrospective and associative, requiring replication in diverse populations to establish a causal relationship. The degree of increased risk is relatively small compared to other genetic factors influencing breast cancer risk. Nevertheless, this research opens the door to future investigations into the complex interplay between migraines, genetics, and breast cancer, shedding light on potential contributors to this disease.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h3><b>Are Older Women At Risk for Overdiagnosis?</b></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/996809" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A study involving 54,635 women aged 70 and older</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> found that continuing breast cancer screening after age 70 carries a significant risk of overdiagnosis, which is the detection and treatment of cancers that would not have caused harm in a person&#8217;s lifetime. Over 80% of women aged 70-84 and over 60% of women aged 85 and older continued screening. The study showed that overdiagnosis estimates ranged from 31% of breast cancer cases in the 70-74 age group to 54% in the 85 and older group. However, there was no statistically significant reduction in breast cancer-specific death associated with screening in any age group. Overdiagnosis was primarily driven by detecting in situ and localized invasive breast cancer, not advanced cases. The study emphasizes the importance of considering patient preferences, risk tolerance, comfort with uncertainty, and willingness to undergo treatment when making screening decisions for older women. The study&#8217;s limitations include the potential misclassification of diagnostic mammograms as screening and the inability to adjust for certain breast cancer risk factors.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A</span><a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/hex.13849" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">recent qualitative study</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> aimed to investigate the factors influencing general practitioners&#8217; (GPs) decisions to fulfill patient requests for imaging studies during clinical consultations. Ten GPs from private medical centers in Northwest Sydney were interviewed, and their perspectives were analyzed through content analysis. On the other side of the spectrum, we explore an American study that reveals the importance of encouraging more people to undergo screenings.</span></p>
<h2><b>Patient Imaging Requests</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The study revealed six key themes that emerged from the interviews regarding GPs fulfilling patient imaging requests:</span></p>
<p><b>Patient Expectations:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Patients&#8217; desires and expectations played a significant role in GPs&#8217; decisions to fulfill imaging requests. Some patients expected certain tests due to their health concerns or beliefs.</span></p>
<p><b>&#8216;Therapeutic Scans&#8217;:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> GPs recognized that some patients viewed imaging scans as a form of reassurance or therapeutic action. This influenced GPs to fulfill requests to alleviate patient anxiety.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I find X-rays have become a therapeutic requirement, [and] that their [patients&#8217;] problem often dissipates once the request is given. (Female, 40)”</span></p>
<p><b><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4591" src="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/imaging-requests-patient-concerns.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/imaging-requests-patient-concerns.jpg 640w, https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/imaging-requests-patient-concerns-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /></b></p>
<p><b>&#8216;Impressive Labels&#8217;:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The use of serious-sounding terms in imaging reports contributed to patients&#8217; perception of the severity of their condition. This, in turn, led to increased requests for such scans.</span></p>
<p><b>Entitlement:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Some patients exhibited an attitude of entitlement, expecting imaging scans without sufficient medical justification. GPs were more likely to decline such requests, especially during initial visits.</span></p>
<p><b>Defensive Medicine:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> GPs expressed concerns about potential legal repercussions if they refused imaging requests. Fear of litigation influenced GPs to fulfill requests to avoid legal issues.</span></p>
<p><b>&#8216;New Patients&#8217;:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> GPs were cautious about fulfilling imaging requests from new patients, as they needed time to establish trust and assess the necessity of the requested scans.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The study concluded that GPs faced challenges in balancing their role as gatekeepers of imaging with patient expectations. Clear guidelines, patient education, and GP training were suggested as potential strategies to manage patient expectations and provide appropriate care. The study sheds light on the complexities of patient-GP interactions regarding imaging requests and highlights the need for evidence-based strategies to navigate these challenges. The study was conducted within the Australian Medicare system, where medical imaging is relatively accessible and affordable, and the findings contribute to understanding the dynamics of patient-GP interactions in this context.</span></p>
<h3><b>Cancer Screenings Saves Millions of Years of Life</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile an</span><a href="https://www.michiganmedicine.org/health-lab/cancer-screenings-have-saved-us-least-65-trillion" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">American study conducted by teams from the University of Chicago, University of Michigan, and study sponsor Grail LLC</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> estimates that Americans have gained an additional 12 million years of life due to preventive cancer screenings over the past 25 years, leading to an economic impact of around $6.5 trillion. These screenings, targeting early signs of breast, colon, cervical, and lung cancers among high-risk adults, emphasize the importance of encouraging more individuals to undergo recommended cancer checks and exploring novel screening methods. The study suggests that if all eligible individuals received current screening for these cancers, it could save an extra 3.3 million life-years and add $1.7 trillion in economic impact.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3360" src="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/breastcancer-mammo.jpg" alt="mammograms" width="640" height="512" srcset="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/breastcancer-mammo.jpg 640w, https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/breastcancer-mammo-300x240.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The research utilized a mathematical model to assess the impact of cancer screenings endorsed by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). This federally authorized panel evaluates evidence for preventive medical services and provides recommendations using letter grades. Since 2010, screenings with &#8220;A&#8221; or &#8220;B&#8221; grades have been covered by most insurances without patient costs under the Affordable Care Act.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although screenings for <a href="https://vestarad.com/what-to-expect-during-a-breast-cancer-screening-at-an-imaging-center/">breast</a>, colorectal, cervical, and lung cancers have saved millions of life-years, their full potential remains untapped. The majority of life-years saved and economic impact come from cervical cancer screening due to its early and consistent screening intervals for individuals aged 18-65. However, the study acknowledges that the availability of the HPV vaccine since 2006 could affect the future value of cervical cancer screening.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While there are validated <a href="https://vestarad.com/top-5-essential-health-screenings-for-women/">screening</a> tests lacking for many cancer types, decreased death rates from cancers with available screenings have contributed to the overall reduction in U.S. cancer deaths. To establish more broadly validated cancer screenings, further research is needed, potentially evaluated by the USPSTF. Novel screening tools like blood tests for multiple cancer types are in development, but AI-based tests have yet to undergo review by relevant bodies for efficacy and recommendations.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Burnout in the medical setting refers to a state of emotional, <a href="https://momentumhcs.com/how-can-hospitals-promote-mental-wellness-for-their-workers/">mental</a>, and physical exhaustion experienced by healthcare professionals. It arises from chronic and excessive stress caused by demanding work environments, long hours, high patient loads, and the emotional toll of dealing with patient suffering. Symptoms of burnout include feelings of cynicism, detachment from work, reduced sense of accomplishment, and a decline in professional performance. Burnout not only impacts the well-being of medical practitioners but can also compromise patient care and safety. It also impacts staffing at all levels in healthcare, from nurses to executives.</span></p>
<h3><b>What’s Going on Now?</b></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/healthcare-labor-trends-2023/641352/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Healthcare employees nationwide</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> have initiated strikes in their efforts to secure better pay and improved staffing conditions in their employment agreements. Additionally, resident physicians are becoming increasingly engaged in labor organizing.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_4567" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4567" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4567 size-full" src="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/radiology-burned-out.jpg" alt="burnt out" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/radiology-burned-out.jpg 640w, https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/radiology-burned-out-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4567" class="wp-caption-text">A doctor experiences burnout</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to experts, these labor trends will present ongoing challenges to health systems as facilities strive to return to pre-pandemic operations while trying to control the labor costs that escalated last year. The sector is expected to face persistent <a href="https://vestarad.com/how-is-technology-helping-with-the-healthcare-labor-shortage/">staffing shortages</a>, particularly among nurses, due to widespread burnout and increased turnover. As a result, healthcare facilities continue to rely on expensive contract labor to fill the gaps in their workforce, even as the rates of severe COVID-19 hospitalizations decline.</span></p>
<h2><b>Burnout in Radiologists</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The &#8220;Medscape Physician Burnout &amp; Depression Report 2023: &#8216;I Cry and No One Cares'&#8221;</span><a href="https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/hospital-physician-relationships/29-physician-specialties-ranked-by-2022-burnout-rates.html#2" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">reported that 54 percent of radiologists surveyed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> felt burned out. Further, just</span><a href="https://radiologybusiness.com/topics/healthcare-management/leadership/radiologists-happiness-pandemic-burnout-medscape" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">61% of radiologists</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> said they’re happy or very happy away from work.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://healthimaging.com/topics/clinical/COVID-19/some-radiologists-stress-lowered-during-covid-it-was-short-lived" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Recent data published in the European Journal of Radiology</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> presents the experiences of breast radiologists with burnout during various stages of the COVID pandemic. Surprisingly, the study reveals that, at the height of COVID, many radiologists reported improvements in five out of six common stressors, such as work pace, work-life balance, caregiving responsibilities, and financial strain. However, this relief was short-lived, as patient capacity increased again, leading to a surge in workload, backlogs of studies, and a slight increase in burnout levels compared to before the pandemic.</span></p>

<h3><b>Addressing Staffing Shortages and Burnout</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Addressing burnout is crucial to maintain a healthy healthcare workforce and ensure the delivery of high-quality medical services. Strategies like promoting</span><a href="https://momentumhcs.com/nurse-practitioners-how-to-balance-work-life-and-avoid-burnout/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">work-life balance</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, providing support and resources for stress management, and fostering a positive and supportive work culture are essential to mitigate and prevent burnout in the medical field.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2011,</span><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/average-child-may-get-7-radiation-scans-by-age-18/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a large study</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> examined the use of x-rays and other radiation imaging on children—they estimated that the average child would get more than seven radiation scans by the age of 18. No doubt, then, that the role of a pediatric radiologist is important in accurately diagnosing and treating diseases and conditions in children. Their specialized knowledge, expertise in radiation safety, and collaboration with other healthcare professionals contribute to the well-being and optimal care of pediatric patients. It&#8217;s estimated that only</span><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16357371/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">3% of all radiologists in the US are pediatric radiologists</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, making this a small subspeciality. In this article, we will review the role and responsibilities of a pediatric radiologist.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A pediatric radiologist is a specialized medical doctor who focuses on using medical imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases and conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. They have expertise in interpreting and analyzing imaging <a href="https://vestarad.com/new-studies-in-ultrasound-an-exciting-frontier-in-medical-research/">studies</a> specifically related to pediatric patients.</span></p>
<h2><b>The role of a pediatric radiologist involves the following:</b></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Interpreting Imaging Studies:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Pediatric radiologists review and interpret various imaging studies such as X-rays, ultrasounds, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine scans. They analyze the images to identify abnormalities or signs of disease. If you choose to work with Vesta Teleradiology, we have</span><a href="https://vestarad.com/company/radiologists-at-vesta/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">US board certified radiologists</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that handle subspecialty preliminary and final interpretations in pediatric imaging.</span></p>
<p><b><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4431" src="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/pediatric-imaging.jpg" alt="brain scans" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/pediatric-imaging.jpg 640w, https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/pediatric-imaging-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /></b></p>
<p><b>Diagnosing Diseases and Conditions:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> By studying the imaging results, pediatric radiologists can diagnose a wide range of diseases and conditions that affect children. This can include congenital anomalies, infections, tumors, fractures, organ abnormalities, and other medical conditions.</span></p>
<p><b>Minimizing <a href="https://vestarad.com/are-x-rays-safe/">Radiation Exposure</a>:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Pediatric radiologists are particularly mindful of the potential risks associated with radiation exposure in children. They employ techniques and protocols that minimize the amount of radiation used during imaging procedures, ensuring the safety of young patients while still obtaining the necessary diagnostic information. For example, when appropriate, pediatric radiologists may use lead shields or aprons to protect sensitive areas of a child&#8217;s body that are not being imaged. This helps minimize unnecessary radiation exposure to healthy tissues. They also undergo specialized training in pediatric radiology, which includes radiation safety and dose optimization techniques.</span></p>
<p><b>Guiding Treatment Decisions:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Pediatric radiologists collaborate with other healthcare professionals, including pediatricians, surgeons, and oncologists, to help guide treatment decisions. The imaging findings they provide play a crucial role in determining the most appropriate course of treatment.</span></p>
<p><b>Performing Image-Guided Procedures:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> In addition to interpreting images, pediatric radiologists may also perform image-guided procedures. These procedures can include biopsies, drainages, and minimally invasive interventions. They use imaging technology to guide their instruments and ensure precise placement.</span></p>
<p><b>Collaboration and Consultation: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pediatric radiologists work closely with other healthcare professionals, including referring physicians, to discuss imaging findings, provide recommendations, and answer any questions. They may also consult with pediatric subspecialists to provide further expertise in specific areas of pediatric radiology.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Overall, the role of a pediatric radiologist is vital in the accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of medical conditions affecting children. Their specialized knowledge and skills in pediatric imaging contribute to the well-being and treatment outcomes of young patients.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Medical imaging is a powerful tool for diagnosing and treating medical conditions; however, it can also expose patients to excess radiation levels. Fortunately, recent technological advancements have resulted in the development of new ways to reduce radiation exposure during imaging.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are a few ways these advancements are helping patients receive the care they need while reducing their radiation exposure.</span></p>
<h2><b>New Guidelines</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clinicians have always used guidelines for the use of CT scans. Still, they recently developed</span><a href="https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-01-pediatric-trauma-team-exposure-children.html"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">new guidelines</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for the benefit of CT scans on the head, neck, chest, and abdomen/pelvis areas of the body–especially in pediatric practice.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_4152" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4152" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4152 size-full" src="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/children-xray-safety.jpg" alt="x-ray safety for kids" width="640" height="960" srcset="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/children-xray-safety.jpg 640w, https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/children-xray-safety-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4152" class="wp-caption-text">New guidelines for CT scans</figcaption></figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clinicians can</span><a href="https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-01-pediatric-trauma-team-exposure-children.html"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">reduce or eliminate the need</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for CT scans if the child is awake and alert, if the blood work is normal, and if the patient is not experiencing abdominal pain.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A</span><a href="https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-01-pediatric-trauma-team-exposure-children.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> study of 146 children</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">not exposed to the excess CT scan radiation using the new guidelines showed no clinically significant missed injuries.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most significant advancements in this area is using</span><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3271708/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">smart software</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to reduce radiation dose in computerized tomography (CT) scans. This software analyzes patient size, age, and other factors to determine the dosage necessary for an accurate scan that minimizes radiation exposure. In some cases,</span><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6500754/#:~:text=Using%20the%20low%2Ddose%20CT,assessment%20and%20preoperative%20surgical%20planning."> <span style="font-weight: 400;">reducing radiation doses by up to 90 percent</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">has been possible without any decrease in diagnostic accuracy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h3><b>Lower Radiation Levels in the New CT Machines</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to using innovative software to reduce doses, researchers are also looking at new technologies, such as</span><a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/07/200723115909.htm"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">low-dose CT machines,</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that can achieve similar results without any additional processing needed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Technicians have designed these machines with unique components that</span><a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/ct-scan/about/pac-20393675"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">limit X-ray emissions</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">while still providing high-quality imaging. As a result, patients can receive the same level of care without worrying about unnecessary radiation exposure.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h3><b>Reducing Radiation Exposure with Ultrasound</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally,</span><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4797692/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">reducing radiation exposure through ultrasound technology</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is more progressive. For clinicians using sound waves instead of X-rays or other forms of energy, ultrasound technology can provide doctors with highly detailed imaging with no risk of exposing patients to dangerous radiation levels.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://vestarad.com/medical-ultrasound-awareness-month-advancements-through-the-ages/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ultrasound</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is an ideal option for pregnant women and children who may be more sensitive to the effects of radiation than adults.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Providing the highest quality of patient care remains a primary goal for most doctors and medical professionals. That’s why technologies that allow virtual options are used more and more throughout the healthcare industry. A 2021 research study by Pew Research Center revealed</span><a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/fact-sheet/internet-broadband/#smartphone-dependency-over-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">93% of Americans use the Internet in their homes</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which shows the usefulness that virtual medical care for less serious patient needs can provide.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These technological advancements are available in more serious cases as well. Doctors and specialists no longer need to travel to the hospital to provide critical care with Tele-ICU.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is Tele-ICU?</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The American Journal of Medicine defines Tele-ICU, or Telemedicine Intensive Care Unit,</span><a href="https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(16)30839-7/fulltext" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> as the remote delivery of clinical (critical) care services through audiovisual conferencing technology.</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” Through this system, doctors can monitor their patients from a distance, allowing them to track vital signs, review medical records, and communicate with the patient&#8217;s family. This helps doctors provide more personalized care to their patients and helps them make informed decisions about the patient&#8217;s care.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tele-ICU also helps reduce the number of visits to the hospital, as the patient can be monitored remotely, reducing the risk of infection. Through telemedicine, doctors can be alerted faster of changes in the patient&#8217;s condition, allowing them to act quickly and appropriately. Tele-ICU provides better communication between doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers, reducing miscommunications and allowing them to coordinate care more effectively.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">5 Ways Telemedicine Benefits Doctors and Patients</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, why do we need tele-icu? Tele-ICU is an invaluable tool for providing better care for intensive care patients. Telemedicine as a whole is an altogether better experience for both the doctor and patients. It’s</span><a href="https://www.healthit.gov/sites/default/files/playbook/pdf/telehealth-startup-and-resource-guide.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">integrated into the overall care that medical providers give</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and in most cases is billed the same as a regular in-office visit. Here are five reasons why telemedicine is a beneficial resource:</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_4121" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4121" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4121 size-full" src="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/doctor.jpg" alt="physician" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/doctor.jpg 640w, https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/doctor-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4121" class="wp-caption-text">A physician working remotely</figcaption></figure>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">     </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Telemedicine allows for more efficient communication between doctors and patients, eliminating the need for lengthy office visits.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">     </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Telemedicine enables doctors to quickly and easily access medical records from any location, providing more accurate and up-to-date information to make treatment decisions.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">     </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Telemedicine enables patients to connect with specialists all over the world, allowing them to access more specialized care.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">     </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://vestarad.com/telemedicine-service-providers/">Telemedicine</a> reduces healthcare costs by eliminating the need for travel, overnight stays, and the use of expensive medical equipment.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">     </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Telemedicine helps to reduce the spread of infectious diseases by increasing the use of remote consultations and reducing the need for face-to-face contact.</span></li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Advanced Practice Providers</span></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9250728/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The National Library of Medicine published a study on utilizing advanced practice providers or APPs</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, to help aid in the current physician shortage by using advanced practice providers for tele-critical and Telehealth services. Yet, even as this solution could benefit several cities without many options for a critical care provider otherwise, as well as save lives, the acceptance of such a program is not as widespread as it could be.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The pandemic pushed remote critical care to the forefront in 2020. Looking toward the future,</span><a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/tele-icu-services-market-2023-report-research-for-dynamic-growth-of-product-in-future-by-analysis-of-previous-year-growth-share-and-challenges-with-cagr-forecast-2028-2023-01-04" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">tele-icu is expected to grow</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">once more medical staff and hospitals decide it is a helpful way to treat their patients.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Point of care<a href="https://vestarad.com/medical-ultrasound-awareness-month-advancements-through-the-ages/"> ultrasound</a> (POCUS) is revolutionizing the healthcare industry and changing how doctors prescribe treatment for patients.<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8606703/"> POCUS</a> is a diagnostic tool that utilizes ultrasound imaging to diagnose, monitor, and guide treatments for medical conditions.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This technology has been around for decades but is presently utilized more broadly throughout the healthcare system. Let’s take a closer look at POCUS and how it transforms <a href="https://vestarad.com/improving-patient-care-with-innovative-technology/">patient care</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h2><b>What Is Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS)?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is an ultrasound-based diagnostic tool used in clinical settings that</span><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8606703/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">uses sound waves</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to create images allowing doctors to see inside the body without having to do surgery or other invasive procedures.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">POCUS can</span><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8606703/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">detect various medical conditions</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, such as heart defects, abdominal diseases, vascular diseases, musculoskeletal problems, and gynecological issues. POCUS can also be used in emergency settings to assess a patient’s condition quickly and determine if further intervention or testing is needed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h2><b>How Is Point of Care Ultrasound Transforming Healthcare?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One benefit of POCUS is its</span><a href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/how-point-care-ultrasound-devices-speed-diagnostics-and-support-health-equity"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">cost-effectiveness</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> compared with other imaging tests, such as MRI or CT scans, and POCUS does not require expensive equipment as those tests do.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_4103" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4103" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4103 size-full" src="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ultrasound-pocus.png" alt="POCUS" width="640" height="508" srcset="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ultrasound-pocus.png 640w, https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ultrasound-pocus-300x238.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4103" class="wp-caption-text">Point of care ultrasound</figcaption></figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, it can be done</span><a href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/how-point-care-ultrasound-devices-speed-diagnostics-and-support-health-equity"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">quickly and easily</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> at the point of care, which reduces wait times for patients and increases accuracy in diagnosis, as well as reduces unnecessary treatments or hospital admissions. Furthermore, since it does not use</span><a href="https://vestarad.com/are-x-rays-safe/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">radiation</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> as other imaging tests do, there are</span><a href="https://psnet.ahrq.gov/web-mm/ultrasound-looked-fine-point-care-ultrasound-and-patient-safety"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">no additional health risks</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> associated with this technology, making it safer overall for patients.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another advantage of POCUS is its ability to provide</span><a href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/how-point-care-ultrasound-devices-speed-diagnostics-and-support-health-equity"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">real-time data</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> about a patient&#8217;s condition, which helps doctors make more informed decisions about treatment plans for their patients.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, because POCUS used in most circumstances</span><a href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/how-point-care-ultrasound-devices-speed-diagnostics-and-support-health-equity"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">does not require special training</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or expensive equipment, these systems are becoming increasingly available in low-resource areas where access to traditional</span><a href="https://vestarad.com/how-diagnostic-imaging-centers-can-benefit-from-teleradiology/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">diagnostic imaging</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> may be limited. This benefit means more people have access to high-quality healthcare regardless of where they live or available resources.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The</span><a href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/how-point-care-ultrasound-devices-speed-diagnostics-and-support-health-equity"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Gates Foundation</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> recently provided financing to bring 1,000 handheld ultrasound devices to Africa. When low to mid-income nations can improve the accuracy of an efficient diagnosis–local doctors can save more lives.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://psnet.ahrq.gov/web-mm/ultrasound-looked-fine-point-care-ultrasound-and-patient-safety"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since 2012</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, however, emergency medicine program accreditation requires competency in POCUS.</span><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6544692/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Competency assessment</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in this field includes demonstrations of technical skill and how it relates to the specific clinical practice.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) offers numerous benefits over traditional imaging tests. Its cost-effectiveness allows physicians to provide accurate diagnoses without breaking the bank. In contrast, its portability allows it to</span><a href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/how-point-care-ultrasound-devices-speed-diagnostics-and-support-health-equity"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">reach underserved populations</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> who may not otherwise have access to quality healthcare services.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With further advances in technology coming soon, we could see even more widespread use of this powerful diagnostic tool across all areas of medicine in the near future.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3D printing is an incredible technological tool both in and out of the medical world. Fortunately, this revolutionary technology has opened up an entirely new realm of possibilities for medical professionals to better their patient</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">’</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">s care. </span></p>
<h2><b>Why Is 3D Printing Important To Medical Professionals?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3D printing has enabled doctors to </span><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8299499/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">create models of patients&#8217; organs, tissues, and bones</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that can show the precise image of the patient&#8217;s anatomy, enabling them to make more thorough and accurate diagnoses. This means that diseases can be caught faster, leading to a higher percentage rate of positive outcomes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These models are helpful to ensure quality by using test treatments on a physical model before trying them on a patient. This can help to reduce the risk of adverse reactions and ensure that the treatment is as effective as possible. In addition, 3D printing can be used to create prosthetic limbs, allowing patients to receive a personalized prosthesis that is custom fit to their body.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_4090" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4090" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4090 size-full" src="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/prosthetics.jpg" alt="prosthetic limbs" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/prosthetics.jpg 640w, https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/prosthetics-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4090" class="wp-caption-text">Prosthetic limbs</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, 3D printing is being used to create custom medical implants. Medical implants are used to replace missing or damaged tissue. They are typically made of titanium or other materials, but 3D printing has enabled medical professionals to create custom implants that are specifically designed for each patient. This has improved patient outcomes and allowed doctors to create implants that are more effective than ever before.</span></p>
<h3><b>3D Printing In Radiology</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In an </span><a href="https://www.acr.org/Practice-Management-Quality-Informatics/Quality-Care-News/Newsletter/Quality-and-Safety-eNews-March-2022/Spotlight-on-3D-Printing" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview for the American College of Radiology</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Kenneth C. Wang, MD, Ph.D. said, &#8220;the benefit of printing comes from the patient-specific nature of what is depicted. And that almost always starts with imaging. That&#8217;s why we, as radiologists, are so well positioned to be at the center of these workflows. We can use our deep understanding of imaging modalities, anatomy, and disease to create models, interpret findings and also to know the limitations of the images, and communicate with other providers.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3D printing has become an increasingly common and useful tool for radiologists. Because it can be used to create customized models of organs, bones, and other body parts, it gives radiologists a better visualization and understanding of medical conditions that couldn&#8217;t be seen before. The in-depth imaging 3D printing provides can also be used to create medical implants, such as scaffolds for bone regeneration and customized joint replacements. </span></p>
<figure id="attachment_4108" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4108" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4108 size-full" src="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/3d-printing-radiology.jpg" alt="3d printing imaging" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/3d-printing-radiology.jpg 640w, https://vestarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/3d-printing-radiology-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4108" class="wp-caption-text">3D printer</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3D-printed models of organs can be used to practice minimally invasive procedures and to create guides for surgeons to follow during operations. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This will help with </span><a href="https://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/html/10.1055/s-0041-1729129" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">medical education, allowing students and radiologists</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to visualize the anatomy and better understand medical conditions. Finally, 3D printing can be used to create patient-specific medical devices, such as hearing aids and prosthetics, to customize them and make them more comfortable for patients.</span></p>
<h3><b>Conclusion</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Overall, 3D printing has revolutionized the world of</span><a href="https://vestarad.com/hospital-teleradiology-service/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">radiology</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. It has allowed medical professionals to make more precise and accurate diagnoses, create custom medical devices, create models of organs, tissues, and bones, and create custom medical implants.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’ve been to the doctor’s office,</span><a href="https://vestarad.com/hospital-teleradiology-service/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">hospital</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, or any healthcare building recently, you might have noticed an upgrade in technology. Instead of a sign-in sheet, you may have been handed a fingerprint scanner. In lieu of a paper and pen, a nurse may have an iPad or desktop computer to take your medical history. For years, medical offices around the country have already had an online scheduling and note-taking system, so it may not come as a surprise that innovations have reached their way to medical imaging and radiology. 5G technology has made vast improvements in the medical space since 2018, says</span><a href="https://www.itnonline.com/content/significant-expansion-5g-networks-could-be-catalyst-towards-smart-hospitals" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Imaging Technology News</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and will continue to make waves, globally, for years to come.</span></p>
<h3>Advancements with 5G</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://vestarad.com/medical-ultrasound-awareness-month-advancements-through-the-ages/">Ultrasound</a> and telehealth technology has advanced this year with 5G technology, particularly with people who live in remote locations without easy access to hospitals, says</span><a href="https://radiologybusiness.com/topics/patient-care/digital-transformation/5g-remote-transmission-ultrasound"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Radiology Business.</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 5G connectivity makes transmission of 4K images and ultrasound images much more efficient and clearer than LTE technology, says the article. Patients who need appointments or images read by medical professionals are able to receive the care they need through telehealth services and remarkably clearer images. In addition to this, 5G technology has helped remotely train the practitioners, who were not</span><a href="https://vestarad.com/company/radiologists-at-vesta/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">radiologists</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, to take the ultrasound examinations. Having a wider pool of practitioners to perform these tasks is proof that 5G has a promising future in the healthcare community.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another advancement brought about by 5G technology is biomedical devices, says Applied Sciences.  When a patient has an implantable and wearable biomedical device with wireless communication technology, doctors are able to have updates and treatments in real time for those in their care. These devices gather data from sick patients and instantly transmit the progress to a doctor to be checked, remotely. Because of the reliability of a 5G network, life supporting devices are able to work quickly, and without complications of interruption. According to the article, developing the “self-health” systems aided by 5G technology will be critical for the lack of healthcare workers we will experience by 2035.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looking ahead, Imaging Technology News predicts the 5G networks could be the “catalyst towards</span><a href="https://vestarad.com/what-is-a-smart-hospital/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">smart hospitals</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">;” a center of streamlined systems and information that efficiently carries through the patient experience. Some of those concepts, says the article, includes a smart scheduling system, facial recognition or fingerprint scanners, and multiple imaging transfers between medical professionals. Importantly, too, 5G networks will enable “crosstalk” between medical devices, monitoring devices, and medical records, creating one, integrated system.</span></p>
