“ After years of rapid growth, CT use in the Medicare population declined by 1.7% in 2010. The proportional decline was even greater in inpatients, hospital outpatient departments, and offices. The only place of service for which growth continued was emergency departments. Without the effect of emergency departments the decline in 2010 would have been 4.7%. This downturn should help alleviate previous concerns about overly rapid CT growth.” The Recent Downturn in Utilization of CT: The Start of a New Trend? Levin DC et al. J Am Coll Radiol 2012;9:795-798
“ It also remains to be seen whether this development is good or bad for our health care system. It would be good if unnecessary or inappropriate studies were being curtailed. But it would be bad if access were being lost to important technology.” The Recent Downturn in Utilization of CT: The Start of a New Trend? Levin DC et al. J Am Coll Radiol 2012;9:795-798
“ Quality control does not negatively affect productivity. Performance monitoring and echnologist mentoring are essential for quality assurance and result in considerable improvement.” Quality Improvement in 3D Imaging Pierce L et al. AJR 2012:198;150-155
