    Not to mention shoulder MRs can be hard to read. Findings can be subtle and have to be interpreted in context with the exam, symptoms etc.

    lol yea I wasn’t going to put in a full dictation on the internet but clearly a lot of misinterpretations from the AI

    That’s a good question. My understanding is that medical images are part of a patients record (so they must be available for the patient or other docs at the request of the patient…

    Somewhat. During residency I developed models for detecting liver tumors in MRI imaging. Like you said, highly specialized and a lot of manual work developing the dataset. There ar…

    I mostly do interventional radiology, which is more similar to a surgical specialty than a diagnostic radiology practice. We do a lot of procedures , see patients in our clinic, ha…

    Radiologist. I don’t read MR shoulder exams in my day to day practice, but from the few pictures shown , I can’t conclusively disagree with the original report. These models are ge…

    Not sure. Image reconstruction/generation is a computationally intensive process, and in recent years DL based methods for improve image reconstruction have advanced fields like mu…

    MRI uses EM radiation in the radiowave frequency band. This is using sound.

    If you could obtain volumetric/3D ultrasound data that was not operator dependent, that would be great. US is a good diagnostic tool, but it can be challenging to read because obta…

    A few points based on comments I’m seeing about the article. This method of ultrasound treatment is called histotripsy. The underlying mechanism it uses to treat tumors is by focus…

    I am an interventional radiologist. I’ve done procedures to embolize the prostate (helps shrink it), and gonadal vein embolization (for varices). The gonadal veins are in a differe…

    That’s the basic idea. You’ll still get some heating of tissue as ultrasound waves pass through other tissue but won’t be destructive. Radiation therapies use similar principles bu…
