#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

@benwhitemd Would only be somewhat true if he was talking about image acceleration or dose reduction

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.

@hochhegger @northwoods1980 Thanks great point! The issue I have with your original post is the "always". The nodule is not quite typical for a LN in the beginning.
Perhaps I should read your post as: "Don't dismiss something just because has one or two benign features"

[Anton Becker, MD, PhD @becker_rad]

@hochhegger @northwoods1980 IMHO this does not have features consistent with intrapulmonary lymph node to start with. No triangular shape, and the fissural distortion is atypical as well.

@ghoshhajra @WillyRontgen This. Also should take into account age, gender+/- body height.

@panscan27 @northwoods1980 @WillyRontgen Either it's this huge thing that somehow all insurers are missing --or it has some obscure legal reason we're not familiar with

[Anton Becker, MD, PhD @becker_rad]

@northwoods1980 @WillyRontgen @dougbeall @francisdeng @sethmhardy *Ideally* the findings and impression sections are short enough so that the recipient can just always read both by default

Beautiful paper by @adamcifu: https://t.co/Bc0wFumsgB
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!
