#FOAMrad Prostate MRI tip for #RadRes
❗Beware of mucinous prostate cancer
Though rare, these often unsuspicious-looking lesions can harbor high Gleason disease
The entire tumor or large portions will have high T2 signal, up to cystic appearance, and lack diffusion restriction
ALT Case of mucinous prostatic adenocarcinoma, from Horvat et al. Uncommon Prostate Malignant Neoplasms. Topics in Magnetic Resonance Imaging: February 2020 - Volume 29 - Issue 1 - p 31-45 doi: 10.1097/RMR.0000000000000230

The average radiology trainee will finish residency in their early 30s and hopefully enjoy a 30-plus year career if they like it (and otherwise make enough money fast enough to retire early if desired).
30 years is a long time.

Beautiful paper by @adamcifu: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
Same could be said for radiologists:
"a physician with a low level of confidence in his or her level of diagnostic accuracy will [overrecommend], whereas an overconfident physician will [underevaluate imaging findings]"

Can AI help catch errors in radiology reports before they go out? 🧐This study by @pengyifan, @csun_nlp, and colleagues shows how fine-tuned generative language models significantly improved error detection. Promising step toward smarter, safer reporting!

After seeing a few recent posts from other colleagues around the globe, here is my radiology setup. All of this is self-funded: Combined cost is less than one commercial mic (<200$) so should really be a no brainer for most departments/practices. Description of the items below 👇

TotalSegmentator now also segments lung nodules thanks to the great contribution from BLUEMIND AI.
🎯
"while AI models that confirm high-grade PCa with near-perfect certainty are impressive, their clinical impact may be limited, as biopsies remain essential for gathering additional genomic and pathological insights."

Phenomenal work! 👏

The original CT TotalSegmentator has been an amazing catalyst for CT-based research and AI; great to see those capabilities coming to MR where I’m sure they will be equally impactful
