New real‑world study published in @Radiology_AI from a partnership with @NorthwellHealth shows how AI performs at clinical scale. Researchers analyzed 32,501 CT pulmonary angiograms performed across Northwell's integrated healthcare system over 18 months. ✔️ ~98% agreement between AI & radiologist interpretations ✔️ Stronger performance for ruling out PE than confirming it ✔️ Radiologist interpretation remains essential AI supports care but humans remain essential. #RadiologyAI #PulmonaryEmbolism #MedicalImaging #AIinHealthcare #ClinicalAI neimanhpi.org/press-releases…

As #ACR2026 comes to a close, we’re proud to show how HPI is responding directly to ACR members’ priorities. The HPI 2025 Impact Report highlights new, data‑driven studies addressing workforce shortages, cancer screening, scope‑of‑practice laws, and the environmental impacts of imaging care. 📊 Explore the HPI 2025 Impact Report: neimanhpi.org/policy-briefs/…

This is #ACR2026—connection, collaboration, and advocacy in action. @JudyYeeMD, our HPI Newsletter Expert Spotlight, exemplifies this through her leadership and recent study showing CT colonography is the most cost‑effective colorectal cancer screening option for Black adults. Proud to feature leaders like Dr. Yee in the HPI newsletter. 📬 Read the latest HPI newsletter: neimanhpi.org/policy-briefs/… 👉 Subscribe: neimanhpi.org/newsletter-sig…

📊 Data‑driven policy insights took center stage at #ACR2026 in today’s economics forum. New research findings presented by Dr. Cindy Yuan, show radiology turnaround times surged 113% from 2014–2023, with most of the increase concentrated in 2022–2023. Authors: Eric Christensen, PhD, Alexandra Drake, @ElizabethYRula, Cindy Yuan, MD, @waldchristoph, Michele Johnson, MD, @GregoryNNicola @JACRJournal Read the full details ➡️neimanhpi.org/press-releases…

📊 Economics Forum at #ACR2026: HPI co‑author @LaurenGoldingMD, incoming Chair of Economics, unpacked why “MIPS is the gift that keeps on giving.” After 11 years, clinicians still chase easier measures—not specialty‑specific value. Time for an overhaul? neimanhpi.org/press-releases…

Did you know? Dr. Jay Parikh—TRS Past President—is also an HPI Affiliate Research Fellow focused on critical radiology workforce issues. His latest studies highlight rising attrition across all subspecialties and a 61% increase in practice turnover in 2023. #ACR2026 #RadiologyWorkforce Check out these and all recent HPI studies here➡️neimanhpi.org/press-releases/

How far would you travel for better cancer imaging & access to theranostics? A new @JACRJournal study shows advanced PET imaging significantly increased travel distances for rural neuroendocrine tumor patients until a longer–half-life tracer helped close the gap. Important insights for radiology, health policy, and rural care. #Radiology #HealthEquity #Theranostics neimanhpi.org/press-releases…

Ga-68 DOTATATE/DOTATOC captured 33.8% market share in its 2017 debut and reached 90.9% by 2020. Read the full story: buff.ly/LJEyJWH #Radiology #MedicalImaging #DiagnosticImaging

A study from the Nieman Institute @ACRBulletin @RadiologyACR shows why #MIPS is meaningless Over 50% of topped-out measures were reported by <5% of clinicians Median reporting was just ~7% of eligible #physicians Yet these #measures are treated as if performance has plateaued system-wide @DrOzCMS @ElizabethYRula @LaurenGoldingMD @SprakerMDPhD @toddscarbrough @HPAnnie2000

“Our findings show that many MIPS quality measures were deemed topped out based on performance reported by a relatively small subset of eligible physicians. This raises concerns about whether topped-out designations accurately reflect quality performance across the broader clinician population,” via @RadiologyBiz @LaurenGoldingMD

Check out ACR at #RBMA2026. 📸 New workforce data + action‑oriented solutions from @NeimanHPI's Elizabeth Rula, PhD, insights on non‑physician practitioners from @RichDuszak and conversations on quality & AI led by #ACRDSI's @PaigeNiereng. @RBMAConnect @DSmethermanMD @MythreyiC

"Alternative approaches -- such as applying topped-out and cap-and-removal policies at the clinician or entity level rather than universally -- could preserve incentives for continued quality improvement while maintaining flexibility within the program" via @AuntMinnie @LaurenGoldingMD

New study in @Health_Affairs Scholar: MIPS is designed to reward high‑quality care and encourage improvement over time. New findings from the Neiman Institute suggest that measure capping and removal policies may unintentionally work against those goals. @LaurenGoldingMD @ElizabethYRula #Medicare #MIPS #ValueBasedCare #CMS neimanhpi.org/press-releases…
