Hereā€™s an example of how important #Radiology is to hospitals/healthcare: radiologybusiness.com/topics/healt... #MedSky #RadSky

#AI can do some amazing things in #radiology and medicine but its skills in generating radiology themed thanksgiving images are still pretty questionable. #HappyThanksgiving

We are seeing an increase in ā€œfor-profitā€ medical institutions. From hospitals to hospice centers, if the bottom line is the only thing that matters, that means patients suffer. #MedSky #RadSky research.weill.cornell.edu/about-us/new...

#AI in #medicine & #radiology is only going to accelerate. Iā€™ve used Aidoc and can absolutely understand why their revenue growth over 3 years (2020-2023) was over %1500. Powerful tools that help make healthcare better for patients. #MedSky #RadSky radiologybusiness.com/topics/artif...

Now that HB 4918 has been passed in MA, insurers must cover supplemental screening, diagnostic breast exams, digital breast tomosynthesis, MRIs and ultrasounds without patient cost-sharing. Huge news for patientsā€™ access to vital screening and diagnostic imaging. #RadSky www.acr.org/Advocacy-and...

Want to see how well #AI is working in real world #Radiology practice? The ACR released Assess-AI, which ā€œprovides algorithm performance monitoring in clinical practiceā€. Great tool for making sure AI is working safely and appropriately. www.acrdsi.org/DSI-Services... #RadSky #MedSky

Validating study in Radiology: #Radiologists are more accurate when provided with patient symptoms/history. This is why good information transfer between ordering clinicians and radiologists is so vital. #RadSky #MedSky pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/... radiologybusiness.com/topics/medic...
