Dr. Martinus Richter from Krankenhaus Rummelsberg will be moderating a panel of experts from around the world. Professor Alberto Leardini from the Rizzoli Institute, Dr. Francois Lintz from Clinique de L’Union, Dr. Cesar de Cesar Netton from the Hospital for Special Surgery, and Dr. Alastair Younger from the Footbridge Centre for Integrated Orthopedic Care will join and discuss the latest thinking in weight-bearing CT.

The goal of the study group is to promote dialogue and collaboration on weight-bearing CT research, as well as create standardizations for weight-bearing CT measurements and analysis.

Weight-bearing CT scans use low doses of radiation while creating an image of the foot and ankle while the patient is standing in a natural standing position. Having patients in a natural standing position is beneficial for doctors because they can see the bones and tendons of the foot and ankle under normal conditions. Patients with pain and deformities seem to benefit most from using weight-bearing CT scans.

While many years of research have shown the benefits of these types of scans, we know there are many out there who still have questions. This International Study Group will provide you with answers. We would also love to have orthopedics and podiatrists with experience with weight-bearing CT to join us and share your own experiences with the technology.

Anyone interested in learning more about weight-bearing CT, including the Cone Beam CT imaging equipment for orthopedics and podiatrists designed by CurveBeam, is invited to join us for presentations from these experts.

Why CAHPS still swings Star Ratings at half its old weight

Why CAHPS still swings Star Ratings at half its old weight

mPulse’s Sam Oliver and Reva Sheehan said the CAHPS chapter moved with overall Medicare Advantage Star Ratings from 2026 to 2027 after CMS cut its weight from 4 to 2. With 11 measures slated to exit by 2029 and the equity reward cancelled, they urged quality teams to model CAHPS impacts and population mix alongside reweighting changes.

  • 01CMS cut CAHPS from a weight of 4 to 2 in the CY2025 final rule, effective with the 2026 Star Ratings, yet mPulse's chapter data shows CAHPS still moved in the same direction as overall stars for the 2027 cycle.
  • 02The April 2026 final rule removes 11 administrative measures, but none leave before the 2028 Star Ratings; the 2027 measure set is unchanged and the Health Equity Index reward is cancelled.
  • 03CAHPS stars are set by percentile cutoffs and reliability tests, and in the 2025 Star Ratings 13 percent of CAHPS results landed on a different star than the cutoff implied, 93 percent of them lower, according to RISE Health.

Why ECG device makers may stop rebuilding arrhythmia analysis from scratch

Why ECG device makers may stop rebuilding arrhythmia analysis from scratch

Monebo's Kinetic Software Library provides ectopic beat detection, QRS feature extraction, and heart rate and rhythm analysis for ECG devices. For ECG device engineering and regulatory teams, rhythm analysis could become a choice between building it and licensing it.

  • 01Fifty-one later FDA clearances trace their predicate lineage to Monebo's earlier libraries, a track record anyone evaluating the new one can check.

AI Takes Center Stage at AHA 2026. Experts Warn It Must Be Built for Everyone

AI Takes Center Stage at AHA 2026. Experts Warn It Must Be Built for Everyone

AI-enabled ECG, echocardiography and imaging studies are a major theme at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2026 in Chicago, November 6 to 9. A Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine policy brief led by Emory cardiologist Dr. Jose R. Medina-Inojosa argues precision cardiology must be designed with equity from inception. He says the biggest factor is not algorithm accuracy but the pathway from result to clinical action.

  • 01AHA 2026 late-breakers on AI include WATCH-LV, AI ECHO INSIGHT, PROVAR+ and LIFE-AI, all presented Monday, November 9.
  • 02Medina-Inojosa says equity from inception means training and validating on representative data and reporting subgroup performance before deployment.
  • 03Programs in Nigeria and Uganda show AI-ECG and AI-guided echo can extend cardiac care where specialists are scarce.
