ContrastConnect press releases
-
If you've been premedicated before an MRI due to a mild contrast reaction—or told you can't have contrast because of a shellfish allergy—your doctors might have been following outdated protocols. New guidelines are changing everything about how we prevent contrast reactions.
-
America is facing a growing radiologist shortage, forcing patients to wait weeks, if not months, for essential diagnostic imaging services. However, health experts say that the virtual supervision model, which was recently permanently approved by the CMS, can help.
-
Starting January 2026, imaging centers can supervise certain diagnostic procedures remotely using real-time video technology—but only if your state allows it and you meet strict HIPAA requirements. Could virtual supervision finally solve your staffing challenges while maintaining patient safety?
-
Starting January 1, 2026, Medicare replaced physical supervision requirements with virtual oversight for diagnostic tests—but only if you meet specific two-way video standards. Audio-only communication is insufficient, and the compliance requirements carry specific technical mandates.
-
Starting January 2026, imaging centers can supervise contrast procedures remotely through video technology—but compliance isn't as simple as federal approval suggests. State laws vary dramatically, and one survey found 30% of centers reported surprising results about response times under virtual supervision models.
-
CMS has finalized virtual supervision for 2026, while California's AB 460 permits remote contrast administration. Learn what the experts consider best practices to scale virtual contrast coverage efficiently.
-
Weekend and holiday imaging coverage has always been a staffing nightmare for radiology centers—but CMS's 2026 virtual supervision authorization could change everything. The catch? Your technology infrastructure needs to be ready, and most facilities are already behind on preparation.
-
Medical facilities face a critical deadline as virtual supervision becomes permanent in 2026, but implementing remote CT and MRI operations requires more than just technology. Are you prepared to navigate ACR guidelines, staffing challenges, and the infrastructure needed to maintain patient safety across multiple locations?

Starting January 1, 2026, CMS is permanently adopting virtual direct supervision for imaging centers. However, many small facilities are unaware that regulatory permission is only the first step—compliance requires specific on-site clinical staffing and "always-on" connectivity. Here is the evidence-based framework for a successful implementation.
-
California's AB 460 authorizes virtual supervision of contrast procedures starting January 1, 2026. To meet the requirements of California's updated Health & Safety Code, imaging facilities must align their technology and staffing with new state standards. Is your facility ready?
-
Imaging centers are struggling to keep up with patient demand amid the radiologist shortage. But ContrastConnect and other experts say that virtual supervision, which has now been approved on a permanent basis by the CMS, can reduce clinical backlogs.
-
Starting January 2026, CMS allows radiologists to supervise contrast imaging procedures remotely using video technology—but only if specific on-site personnel are present. Imaging centers say they're ready, but technologists remain concerned about one issue.
-
Starting January 2026, CMS will permanently allow direct supervision via real-time audio/video for applicable services. That shift can help outpatient imaging centers build more resilient coverage models—without changing the need for on-site readiness and contrast safety protocols.
-
Healthcare's radiologist shortage is set to hit 42,000 by 2033, but CMS just made a game-changing policy permanent starting January 2026. One remote specialist can now oversee multiple facilities simultaneously—but there's a crucial technology requirement most don't know about.
-
Starting January 2026, CMS is making virtual supervision permanent for CT/MRI procedures with contrast, but fluoroscopic procedures still require in-person oversight. Here's what imaging centers need to know about these compliance requirements.
-
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services just made a permanent decision that will transform how radiologists oversee contrast injections—and one survey found that 30% of facilities actually saw faster response times with remote supervision than traditional on-site models.
-
As CMS continues to allow virtual direct supervision through real-time audio-visual technology, are imaging center teams truly prepared for the compliance and training requirements that come with it?
-
Rural hospitals are discovering virtual contrast supervision can solve their radiologist shortage crisis and improve patient outcomes, but implementation success depends on meeting specific regulatory requirements. Here's what makes a difference.
-
A landmark 2025 consensus on contrast media management is set to trigger big changes in contrast reaction treatment and virtual contrast supervision at imaging centers across the United States.
