Imaging Services for Medical Professionals

Testing services for all patients require a referral from a provider.

Clinical Decision Support Tool

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) may impose penalties on healthcare organizations that do not consult a clinical decision support (CDS) tool when ordering advanced imaging tests. The goal is to help providers select the most appropriate advanced imaging test for patients.

For providers with Epic, the tool is included in the ordering process. Providers who currently do not consult a CDS tool can register for free access with CareSelect Imaging’s CDS tool . This helps standardize ordering according to established best practices.

Tomosynthesis Mammogram Research Study

Providers, your help is needed in recruiting women for a potential landmark study.

Bronson is participating in the Tomosynthesis Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST), a multicenter randomized trial on early breast cancer detection. TMIST examines whether 3D technology’s ability to find more cancers results in fewer advanced cancers compared to 2D.

Pre-eligibility criteria for women:

  • Age 45–74 eligible for screening mammogram
  • No prior history of breast cancer
  • No current breast implants
  • No new symptoms or signs of breast disease (nipple discharge, lump)
  • Willing to get a mammogram at Bronson Advanced Radiology Services

The study has funds available for uninsured women who do not qualify for charity care.
