Thank you for @KBibbinsDomingo for the opportunity to talk about AI & radiology. I’m glad your fondest memories during residency call was talking with the radiologist about clinical uncertainty!

We are halfway through the field review process: please make sure your voice is heard! The draft of the first-ever @RadiologyACR #AI practice parameter is now available for review and comment: bit.ly/3JcKiRh. Help us get this right for all of Radiology!

@MGKatz036 @Skepticscalpel Sharp chap. I had been meaning to get in touch with him recently - I wish I had. RIP

@Skepticscalpel Oh no! One of my fondest memories was meeting with SS and @RogueRad in a fine Manhattan Indian restaurant. I was confident they would solve the world's problems over curry. A terrible loss for everyone SS influenced on Twitter and the real world.

The Skeptical Scalpel passed away on June 19th, 2025. He died peacefully in his home surrounded by his loving family. You can read about a remarkable man's life well lived here (thegreencremation.com/obituaries/Jam…) . He will be missed by all who knew him.

BREAKING: You paid for that MRI. You stayed still for 45 mins. But guess who owns the image? Not you. We make the case for collaborative healthcare capitalism - where patients own their scans. 👇 Read & rage (or agree). #PatientRights #HealthData doi.org/10.1016/j.acra…

The number of CT scans for “venous insufficiency” has suddenly gone up. Any know why that might be?

The cardiac CT field has changed significantly since the early days when the focus was more on image acquisition #radiology #CT @Heart_SCCT @RogueRad buff.ly/AjlbRy7

Finally, England has taken revenge for Lagaan. Well done team England #indiavsengland

But then I’m a financially illiterate academic radiologist not savvy like @drmoneymatters May be the money doctor can explain

@btq96r @WillyRontgen @sethmhardy @northwoods1980 @jarrelscy @pranavrajpurkar @heacockmd @woojinrad @AmineKorchiMD @RogueRad @asset25 @radai @NuanceInc @MemberBITC @drmoneymatters @picdoc581 I don’t think many of these early investors are going to get a return, sorry. Healthcare tech is notorious for value destruction .

Can the AI guys publishing nonstop on CXR interpretation and trying to one up each other as the best CheXpert pivot to LDCT? We have a million on our list that no one cares to read. @pranavrajpurkar @drsxr @heacockmd @woojinrad @AmineKorchiMD @northwoods1980 @RogueRad @asset25

@PraveenRangana9 @WillyRontgen @pranavrajpurkar @drsxr @heacockmd @woojinrad @AmineKorchiMD @northwoods1980 @asset25 Exactly right. Give the chest x ray to AI

@WillyRontgen @pranavrajpurkar @drsxr @heacockmd @woojinrad @AmineKorchiMD @northwoods1980 @RogueRad @asset25 Will a piecemeal AI-based solution ever move that needle of getting more done in less time? IMO, the ultimate rad goal is to assume liability for a fully automated interpretation and reporting solution for all exam types

@drmoneymatters @sethmhardy @WillyRontgen @northwoods1980 @jarrelscy @pranavrajpurkar @drsxr @heacockmd @woojinrad @AmineKorchiMD @asset25 @radai @NuanceInc @MemberBITC @picdoc581 My reports are short, succinct, & more diagnoses than descriptions. I need an automated “findings” generator not “impression”

@sethmhardy @WillyRontgen @northwoods1980 @jarrelscy @pranavrajpurkar @drsxr @heacockmd @woojinrad @AmineKorchiMD @RogueRad @asset25 @radai @NuanceInc @MemberBITC @picdoc581 I like RadAi but I’m honestly not sure how sustainable their impression generator is in the era of generative AI. They are better than others but that gap is closing quickly. That said we need hanging protocols to be optimized, EHR notes to be summarized, auto notifications, etc

Overdiagnosis is more than a clinical challenge, it’s a societal one. In this episode of the AJR Podcast Series on Diagnostic Excellence and Error, @francisdeng and @RogueRad explore where clinical vigilance meets ethical complexity. ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/AJ…

The first rule of economics is to value scarcity. Many physicians mistake scarcity for lack of value. Neurosurgeons are scarce, therefore valuable

👏Good move. Maybe one day every radiologist will have a personalized AI-robot assistant who can measure nodules, attend to contrast extravasations and, with a bit of training, read stories to their kids during bedtime

@AmineKorchiMD @viz_ai @qure_ai How about selling AI-enabled precision vacations for radiologists?

It’s pivot season in radiology AI ! 👇 @viz_ai goes into EHR NLP. @qure_ai launches a voice assistant for doctors. Big funding needs big markets. Radiology was the beachhead, EHR + clinical workflows are next. 🚀

Pleased to write this play, Doctor’s Trilemma, with Jyotirmoy Talukdar from @AshokaUniv wonderfully performed & directed by the students led by Tatenda Kasitomo. Thanks to Ashish Makani for his input. The play touches on a few social themes: mob violence against physicians in India, high frequency of fatal snakebites in rural areas, & the reality of being a physician in rural India. There is an subtle dig at economists - if you can spot it! Hope you enjoy watching the performance youtu.be/4JEHHyLB0HY?fe…

Great conversation with radiology resident, Moses Flash, on how he matched into radiology & his expectations & reality of residency. @PennRadiology @PennRadRes

@IR_Doctor @JenniferKempMD @AmineKorchiMD @thoracicrad @Radiopaedia @ctisus You should have a name for this condition. I recommend “Edentulous Mediastinitis”

This one was a little toothy… #radres #radiology

@boltyboy @DrJBhattacharya @NIH Feelings mutual Del boy! For some reason you remind me of Del Trotter. I’m hoping the NIH becomes Plato’s Academy with Socratic dialogues

@RogueRad @DrJBhattacharya @NIH I'm a @RogueRad fan but this line is bothsideism bollocks "The major criticism of Bhattacharya is that he underestimated the pandemic death count. Few academics emerged from the pandemic unblemished. If some made errors of underestimation, others made errors of over estimation"

Congratulations to @DrJBhattacharya. It’s good to have an economist leading the @NIH to better understand trade-offs. He’s the right person to get back robust debates - the essence of science thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2024/12/1…

Anything exciting happening in the AI world? Has it increased efficiency of radiologists by > 2 %?
