FEBRUARY 29, 2024

VIENNA -- It's definitely possible to develop a successful cardiac imaging practice, according to a professional development presentation delivered February 28 at the ECR in Vienna. Together with our radiographers, I learned to scan cardiac patients and learned special anatomy from pediatric cardiologists and pediatric cardiac surgeons."

DECEMBER 11, 2023

AI algorithms appear to have clinical value based on detecting normal x-rays – that is, by flagging chest x-rays as normal versus abnormal, they may reduce reading times for radiologists, according to research presented recently at the RSNA meeting in Chicago. In a session on chest imaging, scientists from AI developers Lunit and DeepTek.ai

A snapshot of the life of a radiology trainee… Clinical Radiology is a specialty that involves utilising imaging modalities to help clinicians in the management of patients across all branches of medicine and surgery. This experience has definitely prepared me for the journey ahead in this evolving career pathway.

Clinical presentation is typically systemic or respiratory. RT-PCR Swab test A positive RT-PCR test needed for a definitive diagnosis of disease. Thus, false negatives are a real clinical problem so several negative tests might be required to be confident about excluding the disease.

Of the 120 chest radiographs assessed, 60 were from lung cancer patients (32 males) and 60 were controls (36 males). However, Dr. Park noted that the definition of “high diagnostic performance AI” can vary depending on the task and the clinical context in which it will be used. Patients had a median age of 67 years.

This is an important and definitive line to draw. Austin Radiological Association is a premier radiology practice that serves a wide variety of hospitals and owns a good number of outpatient imaging clinics in central Texas (full disclosure: I was previously a partner at ARA). The same is true with children’s imaging.

To test application of knowledge, clinical vignettes can provide the basis for the question, beginning with the presenting problem of a patient, followed by the history (duration of signs and symptoms), physical findings, results of diagnostic studies, initial treatment, subsequent findings, etc. Consider the acronyms AAA, RCA, TBI, and BBB.

However, as radiologists we know that there is not always a single definitive outcome from an imaging study. Often an “error” is determined later in the light of additional information and a developing clinical picture. Correction: initially review the study blindly before reading the clinical information.
