It should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: these are my opinions, formed from the combination of my biases, my experience as a radiologist since beginning residency 10 years ago, and my many conversations with radiologists across the country. You don’t have to agree with me. Not Enough and No Help Coming For today’s needs and today’s technology, we have simply produced far too few radiologists.

Background: Sepsis can induce numerous physiologic derangements. At the most severe end, this includes endothelial dysfunction leading to increased vascular permeability, abnormal nitric oxide metabolism, and vasodilation (i.e. septic shock). Judicious fluid resuscitation is indicated in patients with signs of hypo perfusion but is often inadequate necessitating the administration of vasoactive medications.

The bone density of many people decreases as they get older. This process, which is known as osteoporosis, often goes unnoticed, even if there are fractures to the vertebral bodies. These fractures could be detected by means of X-rays or computed tomography (CT), but this does not always occur. For example, because the CT is done for a different reason, a vertebral fracture can be overlooked in the stress of everyday life in the clinic.
