Member technologies include medical equipment that
employs noninvasive modalities that include x-ray, computed tomography
(CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear, positron emission
tomography (PET), and ultrasound. The deployment of healthcare
information technology, which is used in the diagnosis and treatment of
disease, can avoid unnecessary and costly exploratory surgery and
assists healthcare professionals in making timely and accurate treatment
decisions.
