Restructure of AIM Advanced Imaging Clinical Appropriateness Guidelines

Beginning January 1, 2024, Empire became Anthem. This article, published under the former brand, now applies to Anthem.

AIM advanced imaging clinical appropriateness guidelines have been restructured to improve usability and to further link clinical criteria with supporting evidence.  These structural enhancements resulted in no changes to existing clinical criteria or content.
