@northwoods1980 That FOV, pretty much a ST neck MRI right there

[ST @StephenTangMD]

@DrPayItBack It’s a big issue that is not honestly talked about often enough in private practice radiology- a lot of groups pay partners equally regardless of RVU productivity. You can imagine the incentives for different rads may not align with the group at large.

@benwhitemd The only bit I know is that they bought a local practice in Madison WI where I trained, and of course people still on the partner track got screwed. Nothing new under the sun when it comes to PE.

[ST @StephenTangMD]

@northwoods1980 Foley catheter, are you new here or something?

[ST @StephenTangMD]

@benwhitemd Most of the time I look at the prior images anyway. Especially for spine MRI. Some prior reports were just unreadable so I didn’t bother reading them.

[ST @StephenTangMD]

@northwoods1980 No scouts at mine. I read as 1099 for those that do and I find it to be unnecessary liability

[ST @StephenTangMD]

@northwoods1980 Does your practice routinely send scouts on all MRI?

[ST @StephenTangMD]

@PhilipRChapman1 @ScottTruhlar I agree with both sentiments but isn’t that what ABR questions are? lol

@northwoods1980 Post this again in a month haha

@ScottTruhlar You on Sauvie Island?

Lumbar spine MRI is fast evolving into the musculoskeletal analogue of serial thyroid ultrasound surveillance

Soon we will see:

“ Stable right neuroforaminal stenosis at L3/L4. Stable Modic 2 changes at L4/L5 endplates.

L-spine, rads category 1

Continue annual lumbar spine MRIs for surveillance”

@northwoods1980 Thyroid-imaging-medical industrial complex must be fed and sustained

[ST @StephenTangMD]

@CuriousityI @northwoods1980 It always takes two to tango. PE can’t buy practices that weren’t willing to sell out, but there were willing sellers.

@JohnGalt_2024 @northwoods1980 Plenty of levels to fuse from occiput to iliac crests. Why limit yourself?!

[ST @StephenTangMD]

@northwoods1980 “Normal MRI of the head for the patient’s age, without contrast” is my go-to.

[ST @StephenTangMD]

@northwoods1980 @teachplaygrub We should be doing spine MRI with prone, supine and bilateral lateral decubitus. Plus flexion and extension. Is that what you’re saying? Let’s doooooo it

[ST @StephenTangMD]

@UWiscRadiology @EKnavelMD Congrats!!

What happened when a high-performing radiology practice (academic center) deployed AI for intracranial hemorrhage detection (aidoc)? Performance regressed toward mediocrity (slightly) and interpretation took (insignificantly) longer. Buyer beware!
