The radiologist shortage is definitely here. There are different ways to approach the market, and balancing short-term vs long-term plays is nontrivial. Leverage is great, but using too much can amplify negative downstream second-order consequences too. What’s happening now varies and what will happen is anyone’s guess, but this anonymous op-ed “ Radiologists need to be realistic about the job market ” is absolutely worth reading. …Hospitals quite literally cannot o

At the intersection of AI and medical science, there is growing interest in using machine learning to enhance imaging data captured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. Recent studies show that ultra-high-field MRI at 7 Tesla (7T) could have far greater resolution and clinical advantages over high-field MRI at 3T in delineating anatomical structures that are important for identifying and monitoring pathological tissue, particularly in the brain.

After only one to three days of a whiplash injury, scientists can predict which patients will develop chronic pain based on the extent of cross 'talk' between two regions of the brain, and the person's anxiety level after the injury, according to a new study. The study showed the more the hippocampus -- the brain's memory center -- talked to the cortex -- involved in long term memory storage -- the more likely the person is to develop chronic pain.
