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.

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.

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
Radiation Consideration for Adult CT: Utilization of Dose Lowering Techniques	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.
