@srunderwood01 Too dark?

@bncs_imaging You are right, of course, but disease prevalence doesn't affect test sensitivity and specificity (unless other relevant features of the population change, such as gender mix), but it does have a big effect on positive and negative predictive values.

Crucial point. It’s Bayesian. Disease prevalence affects the performance of any test. #ASNC2024

😊 #ASNC2024

Tremendous talk by @ellakaz on incidental findings, how AI is already helping in Michigan and how a dedicated nurse tracks all the patients who need follow up #ASNC2024

Loads of trials in cardiac #amyloidosis expected #ASNC2024

⁦@NotNoninvasive⁩ on disparities in healthcare in cardiac #amyloidosis especially #ASNC2024

New ⁦@escardio⁩ guidelines from end of August on chronic coronary syndromes prefer PET #ASNC2024 #thinkPET

What’s the point of doing tests if you don’t act on the results? #ASNC2024

Mis-read this poster. Thought they were advocating repurposing cocaine as a stress agent! #ASNC2024

Throwback to #ASNC2024 and Vasken Dilsizian’s tour de force on 50 years of myocardial perfusion imaging

4 July 1934. Polish-born Radioactivity pioneer Marie Sklodowska-Curie died (aged 66). She was the 1st woman to win a Nobel Prize, the only woman to win the Nobel Prize twice, and the only person to win the Nobel Prize in two different scientific fields.
