Intelerad CEO Jordan Bazinsky outlines how advanced technology and strategic partnerships can help medical imaging withstand financial, regulatory, and workforce pressures.
Key Details
- 1Medicare radiology reimbursement declined 3.4% in 2024 and 2.83% in 2025, part of a 25% decrease since 2005.
- 2FDA staff reductions may delay imaging device and AI tool approvals, affecting innovation availability.
- 3Radiologist workforce shortage persists; ARRT exam takers fell 18% between 2006 and 2022, with demand for CT and MRI rising 3-5% yearly.
- 4AI, integrated platforms, telehealth, and compliance tools are recommended to improve efficiency, care coordination, and regulatory adherence.
