“Don’t be a #radiologist; be a plumber instead. It’s much harder for #AI to take your job!”
Our Social Media Editor Brendan Kelly muses on the recent announcement of Geoffrey Hinton's 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for his cutting-edge work in artificial neural networks.

Some things to consider that may complicate matters:
- technicians willingness to try (or also perhaps policies they may be required to follow regardless)
- relative size of patient + respirator and equipment tolerances (eg: MRI dimensions)
- other issues related to specific models of equipment (just a guess: I'm a #patient, not a #radiologist … I have no idea whether everything is completely standardised)

This new study from Francesco Lotti et al. delve into the role of the #radiologist when evaluating male #infertility, with recommendations from the European Society of Urogenital Radiology-Scrotal and Penile Imaging Working Group (ESUR-SPIWG).
The #Arthritis Subcommittee of the ESSR has developed clear, #radiologist-specific definitions and threshold criteria for reporting #MRI of the spine and sacroiliac joint in axial spondyloarthritis with the goal of aiding the general radiologist with an interest in MSK.

I was reading an article about full-body MRIs saying they take roughly one hour.
A brain, cervical spine and spinal column MRI never took less than 1.5 hours for me. They were not even scanning my entire body.
Some possibilities:
* Those full-body MRIs are done with machines that operate much faster than the machines I've been in. I'm not sure why these machines would not be in more common usage.
* The operators doing a full-body scan do a half-assed job because they know that 1 hour is pushing it. (There's a difference between accepting a 1.5 hour scan because your life literally depends on it (my case) versus doing a full-body scan after a pedicure and before horseback riding because reasons (the case of those celebrities that can afford full-body scans).)
* The article is pulling numbers out of thin air.
Maybe a #radiologist has a clue about the discrepancy I'm seeing here.
(Oh, also MRIs are quite capable of missing cancer. I had MRIs galore during my cancer. They saw something but could not identify it. I had a PET scan that missed my tumor. Then I had a brain biopsy that found my tumor, and another PET that confirmed what we already knew.)
Results of a clinical trial show one radiologist using software with artificial intelligence can detect more breast cancer cases in mammograms than current reviews by two radiologists.
Do I happen to know any #radiologists who have a quick sec? (Note: I don't expect people to work for free or anything, either, so even if you *are* a radiologist but you don't want to answer questions for free, that is all good and no hard feelings.)

An amazing piece by composer Katharine Parton interpreted by the #LeuphanaOrchester. The lived experiences of a patient interpreting #MRI through art and orchestral composition. Mindblowing. https://youtube.com/watch?v=7NXTWsgmDYY… A piece that should be obligatory for every #Radiologist and #Neurologist #womencomposers
