November 12, 2012

The Affordable Care Act has a “growing profound effect” on radiology, according to Cindy Moran, assistant executive director for the American College of Radiology.

The changes brought by health care reform are good news for radiology, Moran said, and individual providers should get involved and take leadership positions as the industry transforms.
