“The dream of a Star Trek-style hand held medical scanner is now closer due to a new development in electromagnetic Terahertz (THz) wave technology, also known as T-rays. This technology, also seen in full-body security scanners, is currently able to detect very small and otherwise hidden biological phenomena such as increased blood flow around tumorous growths.

“Radiologists might sometimes wonder if they’re operating in a health care vacuum. As federal initiatives and health IT lead to greater integration of the care delivery system, and health information exchange (HIE) initiatives means more providers are communicating, though, that sense will change.

Radiologists have used such technology for report dictation for years, but more often than not, are underwhelmed by the results, he said.

“Recently, there has been a great deal of confusion on whether HITECH and Meaningful Use apply to radiology. This has resulted in many radiologists hesitating to make a decision on whether or not to participate in the current Meaningful Use initiatives. With this uncertainty, it is leading to a potential delay in adopting updated workflows and technologies to meet the new demands. The danger – radiology may fall behind the innovation and leadership curve.
