Collaboration with OSU gives us that strong base to better the cancer
research and diagnostics, and could have a lasting impact on the

be performed according to guidelines from the American College of Radiology or
other organizations.

Biomedical Informatics using the latest in computer grid technology."
To battle the issues of duplication and overuse of expensive imaging,
health plans are using precertification and radiology copays and dictating
guidelines for physicians."
Demographic trends and continued technological advances will also mean
higher utilization in the future; cardiac imaging expected to be one of the
next big areas of medicine.

who has teamed up with BioImagene to develop Digital Pathology as both
a research as well as a diagnostic tool. "I am very excited about this collaboration because it
brings together the pathological know-how and the digital imaging
know-how to work in a synergistic fashion so that real progress can be
made. The Department of Pathology has
already advanced virtual slide imaging technology and has created a
database of virtual slide images. The data
management systems and web-based nature of BioImagene's technology
facilitate collaboration, improving the standard of patient care and

Health Plans Attempt to Rein in Radiology Costs

"This collaboration combines the pathology experience of Ohio Sate
and its unique patient database with the computer software imaging
expertise of BioImagene to develop and validate imaging algorithms
that can be applied to various areas of anatomical pathology,
including tissue microarray interpretation , immunocytochemistry, in
situ hybridization, and hematoxylin and eosin-based diagnosis," Dr. This is a win-win situation for all stakeholders -- OSU,
BioImagene, industry, and community," said Mohan Uttarwar, President
and CEO of BioImagene. According to findings in the
recent Health Plan Data and Analysis reports, while prescription drug costs
and hospital-payer contracts have received the most attention in the past five
years, radiology costs have been growing at a remarkable rate. "We expect more sophisticated use of data as vendors and health plans
consider ways to reward quality and try to uncover why costs vary so much by
region.

taking steps to rein in the cost of radiology.
"But the segment is growing by 18% to 20% a year. In contrast, interventions
in prescription drug management by health plans have slowed the growth rate of
pharmaceutical costs to below 10% in some cases.
