🔥 Radiologist compensation
New SullivanCotter data: radiologist total cash compensation has increased 12–18% since 2024, while productivity growth has been much smaller. The radiologist labor market remains tight.
☢️ Photon-counting CT
New analysis highlights an interesting economic paradox: better imaging may reduce downstream testing, while fee-for-service models can reward additional testing.

@LAFitness signed my daughter up for what they called a "two month summer gym membership". 7 months later she is still getting monthly charges of $49.99. Is anyone else a victim of LA Fitness' fraudulent billing practices?
@BrentWeinberg@stephenson_md Razer mice also have hyperscroll plus on board memory and IMHO a superior feel to Logitech mice. This Razer is awesome and analogous to the one you sent. The Basilisk is also great

@Paddy_Barrett Great thread! As a CTCA reader, pts definitely need education on cost. My hospital has a cash price for CTCA under $500 but nursing fee for beta blockers and potential post processing fee for CTFFR is extra. Important to premed pts + use FFR only when necessary to lower cost.
@Paddy_Barrett We used to offer visceral fat area measurement with our calcium scores. I think we were a little ahead of our time. I am glad to see visceral fat getting the attention it deserves.
This study showed that visceral obesity is one of the strongest predictors of Image‐Based advanced Biological Heart age particularly for women. Another reason why it is so important for radiologists to report visceral obesity when reading CT and MRI exams https://t.co/tmdDsYMLxl
In this study hepatic steatosis (HS) appeared to be protective of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. No association was seen in patients without type 2 diabetes. HS warrants further study.....interesting. https://t.co/LYlqiLuak8
