@radfugee Useless for sure. But will no doubt be lucrative for the snake oil salesmen. A fool and his money is easily parted.

@northwoods1980 What are the advantages vis-a-vis the OnControl? How’s the specimen quality?

@WillyRontgen @JudyYeeMD @LetDdiceFlyHigh @SocietyAbdRad @SAR_RFS @NYUImaging @VChernyakMD @AwanRad @YashantAswani @Abdominal_Rad @drsxr So are we to conclude 50% of the entire population have subcentimeter IPMNs? Does that not strain credulity and suggest the majority of these microcysts are not in fact neoplastic?

@northwoods1980 Ugh doesn’t even meet criteria for so-called interstitial lung abnormality (does anyone bother mentioning ILAs?) Grow some cajones and ignore stuff like that…the federal budget and tax payers will thank you for your courage.

@northwoods1980 Perhaps I missed it in the article, but there is no discussion of the economic burdens placed on the the health care system. Given the ubiquity of adenomas, analysis of economic impact and resource overutilization seems mandatory when promulgating guidelines.

@northwoods1980 Recon them all at 10 mm and purge the raw data. That level of accuracy is commensurate with current reimbursement rates.

@northwoods1980 Maybe it’s time to scrap the body of the report altogether…impression only. Distill everything down to the essential.

@northwoods1980 Copy and paste free form dictation into ChatGPT works reasonably well to generate a structured grammatically correct report…imagine Nuance will have commercial product relatively soon.

@northwoods1980 Would be cool if quantitative MRI could reliably predict rate of tear progression…your AI powered diagnostic assistant might generate report stating “patient has 5 years until there is a severely retracted massive cuff tear with limited surgical options “.

[Bexarator @bexarator]

@northwoods1980 Impressively slow tear progression…guessing patient is not a manual laborer.

[Bexarator @bexarator]

@northwoods1980 Agree…and I suspect inter- and intraobserver variability for angle measurements is not great.
