  About Nicholas Wickersham

  Explanation of Specialties

NICHOLAS WICKERSHAM is a specialist in DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY. Other specialties include INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY, and NUCLEAR MEDICINE.

DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY: Radiologists review and interpret x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, PET scans and other types of imaging tests. However, there are some imaging tests that radiologists typically do not review. Cardiologists usually review their own echocardiograms and stress tests and Ob/Gyns usually review their own ultrasounds. Like Pathologists, Radiologists often do not directly interact with patients. Typically a technician performs the scan for the radiologist to review. (more information)

INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY: Interventional radiology (IR) is a way to diagnose and treat cancer and other conditions without major surgery.With IR, your doctor looks inside your body with imaging tests such as ultrasounds, CT scans, or MRIs. Then they use small tools, like needles and tubes, to do a procedure or give treatment right where you need it. During these procedures, your doctor can put tools into your body through tiny cuts that can be as small as a pinhole. Interventional radiology helps with cancer in a number ... (more information)

NUCLEAR MEDICINE: Nuclear medicine is a specialized area of radiology that uses very small amounts of radioactive materials, or radiopharmaceuticals, to examine organ function and structure. Nuclear medicine imaging is a combination of many different disciplines. These include chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer technology, and medicine. This branch of radiology is often used to help diagnose and treat abnormalities very early in the progression of a disease, such as thyroid cancer.Because X-rays pass throu... (more information)

MIPS is an acronym for Merit-Based Incentive Payment System. Authorized by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reaouthorization Act of 2015, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") developed MIPS to reward clinicians for the value of care they provide rather than the volume of care, quality over quantity. The MIPS final score determines a provider's Medicare Part B payment adjustments. MIPS also created a means for consumers to rank providers.

MIPS scores are calculated using four performance categories, quality, cost, improvement activities, and promotion of interoperability. Higher scores are better.: The highest final MIPS score is 100.

Radiology: Exposure Dose Indices or Exposure Time and Number of Images Reported for Procedures Using Fluoroscopy
Implementation of improvements that contribute to more timely communication of test results	Yes
Nuclear Medicine: Correlation with Existing Imaging Studies for All Patients Undergoing Bone Scintigraphy	100%
Radiation Consideration for Adult CT: Utilization of Dose Lowering Techniques	100%
Radiology: Inappropriate Use of Probably Benign Assessment Category in Screening Mammograms	0%
Radiology: Reminder System for Screening Mammograms	100%
Radiology: Stenosis Measurement in Carotid Imaging Reports	100%

These are important measures that CMS tracks for each doctor. Not all doctors or medical professionals have data.
