📉 Non-U.S. IMGs saw the biggest drop this year, with the lowest match rates in the past five years (2022–2026), likely driven by ongoing visa concerns. Meanwhile, U.S. IMGs and DO seniors achieved their highest match rates in the past five years. This shift may partly reflect programs favoring applicants who do not require visa sponsorship, potentially at the expense of non-U.S. IMGs who historically filled some of those positions.

@DrLongissimus Most blocked paths ..... will find a way thru collateral!

Radiology is the sacred art of opening a study and realizing the patient has been surviving on vibes, collateral circulation, and outright disrespect for physiology

@francisdeng @WillyRontgen @mattlungrenMD @benwhitemd @drsxr Auto impression looks precise and saves some time

@WillyRontgen @mattlungrenMD @benwhitemd @drsxr Ok but what’s on the positive side?

To any rads who are switching to PS One after the sunsetting of PS 360, I’m sorry. Get ready for a hot load of garbage. Constant lagging, cloud issues, templates and macros that don’t work half the time and broken autocorrect. @mattlungrenMD @benwhitemd @francisdeng @drsxr

@francisdeng Similar to prior.

The use of the word “redemonstrated” in a radiology report is associated with higher odds that the imaging study or its prior comparison study was inappropriate/unindicated/low-value/redundant.

@RandySuWong 2. A 6 mm .......

This Rad always starts his Impressions with comparison studies. Randy's Pro Tip: Don't do this.

I have a solution

Is there a gap in your knowledge when it comes to spinal fusion anomalies? These are commonly mistaken for fractures when they are just anatomic variants. Don't be that guy! But they can lead to abnormal mechanics and be a pain generator—so they are important to mention!! Here's a figure to help fuse these variants into your memory!

In Alzheimer’s imaging, there are some things you just can’t forget!   New Alzheimer’s treatments are changing the way we look at these scans!   Removal of amyloid beta proteins from vessel walls by anti-amyloid antibodies leads increased vascular permeability.   This can cause edema or hemorrhage, called ARIA (Amyloid Related Imaging Abnormalities)   Grading of the degree of ARIA is important bc it can change management. Asymptomatic ARIA is usually treated by pausing treatment if it’s moderate to severe   For ARIA-E (edema) or ARIA-H (microhemorrhage), if the edema measure > 5 cm or number of microhemorrhages are >5, it is moderate   For superficial siderosis, 2 regions is considered moderate.   Remember it by this little rhyme: --If ARIA findings are great than 5, then the medication deprive --Or if siderosis is 2, then medication break for you!   Hopefully, now the grading of ARIA will stay in your memory!!

⭐️ The carotid body can be normally seen on CTA of the neck as an ovoid avidly enhancing focus at the inferomedial aspect of the carotid bifurcation 💡 Normal range is ~1-4mm, do not mistake this for pathology (dissection, web, pseudoaneurysm, etc.) 💡 When >6 mm, a small carotid paraganglioma should be suspected and further evaluated #Neurology #radres #futureradres #medicine #Neurosurgery #MRI #FOAMed @TheASNR

Let #Tigray farm. Right now, #Tigray is on the cusp of planting season. What gets planted needs to grow and be harvested in order to feed Tigray through the lean season at the end of the summer. Aid is ending. If the harvest fails, Tigray will very likely see a famine. /1

Best article I've seen explaining the current challenges facing the people of Tigray. Tigray is Under Siege Again ethiopia-insight.com/?p=425823

A large convoy of Ethiopian National Defence Forces (ENDF) T-55 tanks has reportedly been seen heading towards the Tigray region in northern Ethiopia 🇪🇹. The ENDF appears to be massing troops and military equipment in the area on a scale not seen since the 2020–2022 conflict.

Such a happy couple ..... until
