Dr. Michael O’Connor delivering the 85th Annual Russel D. Carman Lecture “Radiation Risks in Low-Dose Imaging” describing limitations of the Linear No-Threshold Model. #MRSFall2019

[MN Rad Society @MNRadSoc]

Looking forward to a great program this morning with good friends! #MRSFall2019

[MN Rad Society @MNRadSoc]

Great group headed to the @SenAmyKlobuchar office to talk ways to improve patient access to lifesaving imaging:
*No surprise medical bills
*keep coverage for mammography for ages 40-49
*address med school debt during residency years

@MNRadSoc Fall Meeting @MayoClinic: course winding down. ACR’s Dr. Bibb Allen bringing it all home: how should we be thinking about AI and the future role of rads? Perhaps AI doesn’t need to be perfect...perhaps a role of AI is to bring all rads up to par with the best rads.

[MN Rad Society @MNRadSoc]

Fascinating presentation on Radiology in Africa and associated educational programs, from Dr. Michael T. Nelson, recipient of the Helmut Diefenthal Humanitarian Service Award.

[Chip Truwit @truwit]

@MNRadSoc continues with Dr. Gopal Punjabi sharing his experience with Spectral CT in acute abdominal emergencies. Wow! So proud of @HennepinHC very own...sharing that so much to be gained by going to spectral CT right away.

[MN Rad Society @MNRadSoc]

Congratulations to Dr. Patrick Juenemann @pjuenemann1 for his service to #Radiology, receiving the 2018 Glen W. Hartman President's Award from MInnesota Radiological Society!

[Chip Truwit @truwit]

@MNRadSoc Katrina Glazebrook, MD of @MayoRadiology sharing her experience with calcium-suppressed spectral CT in MSK radiology. Will we be able to avoid subsequent STIR imaging in some, many, or all of the cases? Can Spectral CT determine which fxs need surgical pinning?

[MN Rad Society @MNRadSoc]

Dr. Katie Glazebrook describing clinical utility of #SpectralCT in #MSKRad , also discussing limitations and anatomical regions requiring careful interpretation.

[Chip Truwit @truwit]

⁦@MNRadSoc⁩: Kevin Harris, CEO of ⁦⁦@CureMetrix⁩ sharing the challenges of AND value of AI in breast imaging. What a diff it will make to shift the work from CAD to AI, reducing false positives, saving work, saving $$ and most importantly, saving lives!

[Chip Truwit @truwit]

@MNRadSoc fall meeting continues: from Gene Sargenese of @Maximumqai showing us the complexities of generalized solutions tackling AI to Kevin Lyman of @enlitic with 10 critical points to remember about all of the claims about AI. This just keeps getting better.

[MN Rad Society @MNRadSoc]

Excellent presentation on the challenges of creating clinical #AI by @ktlyman

Nuanced data and unintended bias

Moving targets for privacy and security - what makes an image anonymous?

Many "unknown unknowns!"
