Making an Opinionated Project

Ben White

Or, “Why Independent Radiology is different from most job boards (but also still boring)” So recently I created a simple, small website called Independent Radiology. It’s a boring job board, but it’s also different from most job boards. Jason Fried from 37signals (makers of Basecamp, HEY, and other stuff) argued years ago that software should be opinionated.

Do you have to perform intussusception reduction immediately?

AuntMinnie

Intussusception reduction can be performed within eight hours of ultrasound diagnosis, not necessarily within two hours, according to research published September 4 in the American Journal of Roentgenology. A team led by Livja Mertiri, MD, from Texas Children's Hospital in Houston found comparable success for pediatric intussusception reduction in children who were treated emergently (within 2 hours) and those who were treated urgently (within 8 hours).

Vanitha Sankaranarayanan Gives Her All, Benefiting Surgeons in the Operating Room

UCSF Biomedical Imaging

Vanitha Sankaranarayanan stood in awe, dressed head-to-toe in sterile scrubs, in the operating room. She observed as a neurosurgeon performed brain surgery guided by critical information from a diffusion tenser imaging (DTI) brain scan – the images she was hired to create – displayed on a digital screen showing the brain’s essential motor pathways in bright color on-screen, so the surgeon could see where they were in relation to the tumor and how best to avoid them during surgery.

Does AI actually improve radiologists' diagnostic performance for ICH?

AuntMinnie

Using an AI triage protocol for the detection of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) did not improve radiologists' diagnostic performance or report turnaround times, according to a study published September 4 in the American Journal of Roentgenology. The findings may be surprising in an era of intense enthusiasm for the use of AI in healthcare. A team led by Cody Savage, MD, of the University of Maryland in Baltimore noted that "radiologists alone outperformed AI alone for ICH detection.
