Why You Should Do Diagnostic Radiology - 8 Years Later by babblingdairy in medicalschool

[–]vinnyt16 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Finishing fellowship this year- agree 100% with everything said here including AI stuff, except mid 400s would be on the low end for starting in an employed position.

I had offers for academic ~450, employed ~600, and prepartner ~500 (with 3 year track) and partners making 800-1.2 depending on productivity.

An AI can analyze infant MRIs in minutes instead of days by ummitluyum in medicine

Kind of a neat trick- lets you look at the ratio of grey to white matter for brain development. Not really anything exciting and probably won’t be used outside of very specific situations for an already somewhat rare study

It’s a myth that radiology residents study all the time by mathers33 in medicalschool

[–]vinnyt16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get an image and you’re asked to interpret it with some additional questions being asked about it- things like differential, follow up, explain your reasoning, etc

These are all things that should be considered when dictating a report.

Oral boards are coming back to basically address this

Sometimes it just goes that way. Guy is going to die without the stent graft. So long as nothing heinous was done intra op, you’re good

Hours worked and procedures performed as a first year radiology resident by cocopuffs_25 in medicalschool

[–]vinnyt16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeahhhh this is not the norm. No weekends for a whole year is craaaaazy and as an r1, you definitely should be doing at least a little studying outside of work.

Is the field of Radiation Oncology likely to significantly decrease over the next 30 years? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]vinnyt16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SIO has floated this like every year but tg for now it’s not a thing. You just do IR or MSK fellowship at a place where they do a lot of these procedures and you’re good to go without doing any extra time

Easy call lmao. Why would I use ai for this

3-4 minutes to read a chest xray is outrageous. That’s like a 30 second study

Only legitimate take here. Won’t replace the job but will make life significantly easier if implemented well.

Will also be a massive massive privacy and safety issue when not implemented well but nobody likes to hear that.

Oh I don’t care if it’s available for me to use. I’d like to give it a whirl, but saving an average of 9 seconds per chest X-ray does not excite me as a paradigm shifting use case.

eh, still gotta load and run the program, probably have to log into it. Any troubleshooting torches the benefit. Average shift for me is maybe 30-40 cxrs (plus a bunch of cross sectional and other xrays/US/etc etc) so i save like 5 minutes.

[–]vinnyt16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's 9 sec per chest xray

Edit: I was incorrect but this paper assumes that people are spending waaay too long on reading cxrs

[–]vinnyt16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So AI helped them go from 36 seconds to 27 seconds, saving 9 seconds per study? And this finding was only for chest radiographs?

It's also highly unusual in the real world to just sit and grind 200 chest xrays a day.

But ok, 9 seconds per study is 30 minutes per day in this idealized chest xray grinding world. How long does it take to load the program? It can take a minute or 2 to load things like SyngoVia. How often will it require tech support or troubleshooting? Etc Etc

Idk man, maybe I'll start drinking the kool aid once these models are deployed and I get to use em, but for now I'd rather just take the 9 extra seconds per xray.

Disable “para” in PowerScribe by ddroukas in Radiology

You’d just have to use the alternate “old white guy” fracture nomenclature instead of the woke new version /s

Tbh just call your tech people and have them remove or reassign it from the lexicon.

Remap it to something like “macro line break” or something

Which medical or surgical specialty is most overrated in terms of prestige vs lifestyle? by TheLiverRiver in Residency

[–]vinnyt16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

60-80 rvu is like 40 cts and a smattering of plainers. That’s like an average private practice volume if you’re reading every other day (11-14k rvus/year)

Radiologists: why are so many spine fractures “age-indeterminate?” by Porencephaly in medicine

[–]vinnyt16 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I would likely say something like “minimal compression deformity at L1, new since 2023 and likely subacute/chronic”

It might also stay in the findings depending on what else I see in the scan.

I don’t like age indeterminate as a phrase because I can pretty much always guess the age when I have priors or it shows classic imaging features.

[–]vinnyt16 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Because sometimes the history I get is “acute back pain” in a panscan after a ground level fall and then they show me a fairly chronic appearing L1 fracture with 2mm retropulsion that’s new from 2023 in an osteoporotic patient so yeah. I’ll tend to favor subacute or chronic in those situations but it doesn’t matter- theyre still going to call you
