Technology acquisition: trends in imaging.

A great deal has happened in the imaging area this year. Our imaging special report examines changes in the field: from hospitals' new negotiating tactics to the impact of the new Medicare capital payment regulation. In an in-depth report, we examine new trends developing in hospitals' and hospital groups' contracting for imaging equipment purchasing.

Finally, we revisit the capital fold-in regulation itself.
