This is slightly more of a cut than had been predicted in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) Proposed Rule that was issued in July. As we reported in our analysis of the Proposed Rule , this reduction in payments continues a trend that has seen the Medicare fee schedule reduced by nearly 10% over the past 10 years.

X-rays are a common component of diagnostic testing and industrial monitoring, used for everything from monitoring your teeth to scanning your suitcase at the airport. But the high-energy rays also produce ionizing radiation, which can be dangerous after prolonged or excessive exposures. Now, researchers have taken a step toward safer X-rays by creating a highly sensitive and foldable detector that produces good quality images with smaller dosages of the rays.
