Paul Lauterbur put this up in our lab in 1996, original writing in red ink. Take heart, people, even the paper describing MRI was first rejected. Also, moving is hard, but digging up these gems from the past is beautiful. @NeuroDx @MRInicole #MRI #ISMRM

Can #MRI reliably diagnose meniscal tears?
New @Radiology_RSNA systematic review & meta-analysis suggests the answer is more nuanced:
👉 It’s not just the MRI—it’s how we define a tear. 👇

The Ivory Tower Paradox: When Tertiary Care Meets the Frontlines

At the recent academic conference, one of my residents presented our work from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College, Jabalpur. During the discussion, an important question was raised:
“How can you call yours a low-resource setting when it is a tertiary health center?”

It’s a question that cuts to the heart of the Ivory Tower Paradox: the assumption that a prestigious title or a large building automatically equals an abundance of resources.

The reality tells a different story.
A "Tertiary Center" defines our capability. It means we are one of the first government institute in India to perform advancedsurgeries. It means we do research that impacts the lives of our patients and publish in Q1 journals.
But "Low-Resource" defines our reality. In public health, a setting is defined by the gap between the needs of the people and the tools at hand. We are an LRS not because we lack talent, but because:

The Weight of Millions: We are the final safety net for the tribal belts and rural heartlands of Madhya Pradesh. Our resources aren't stretched; they are thin-filmed across a population larger than many European nations.

The Battle Against Time: We don't just fight biology; we fight the 300km journey a patient took to reach us. By the time they arrive at our "Ivory Tower," their disease is often far more advanced than what is seen in high-resource centers.

The Innovation Mandate: When we brought high-fidelity simulators from the UK to teach our residents, it wasn't for "prestige." It was a necessity. In an LRS, your skill must be higher because your margin for error is smaller.

I told my resident: Calling ourselves "low-resource" isn't an admission of weakness. It is a badge of extraordinary resilience. It means we are delivering internationally endorsed standards to those who have the least. It means we are proving that Health Equity isn't about where you work, it’s about who you refuse to leave behind.
Innovation in the Global South isn't just about the latest gadget. It’s about making that gadget work for those who have nothing but hope.

That is the Ivory Tower Paradox. And we are breaking it every day.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

[CAMERA MRI AFRICA @CAMERAAfrica]

Grateful for everyone who worked with us to strengthen #medical #imaging across #Africa this year 🌍. Our work is expanding access and driving research 🩺✨. Wishing you restful holiday season 🎄💫. Here’s to an impactful year ahead!

Although @elonmusk is brilliant, this is wrong.

In people at average risk, anxiety from false positives as well as complications from biopsies would almost certainly outweigh the benefits.

Happy to discuss further!

[Vikas Gulani @MRIvikas]

The best. Two people I respect immensely

[UofURadiology @UofURadiology]

A power couple in imaging excellence. Congratulations to Dr. Satoshi Minoshima on receiving the RSNA Gold Medal Award and to both of our distinguished medalists for their incredible contributions to radiology.
We are proud to celebrate this milestone with our team in Chicago.🏅

My precious Ashley died from #BrainCancer at only 13. 💔

My mission now is to raise awareness, share my Ashley’s story & offer light & hope to other Children & families facing this devastating journey.

We would be so grateful for a follow & repost to get our voices heard. 🙏🏻

What causes more harm to the peer review process? Reviewers using LLMs to evaluate manuscripts, or authors embedding prompts in manuscripts to engineer positive reviews from AI?

Thank you, Dr. David Miller, CEO of @umichmedicine and Executive Vice President of Medical Affairs for @UMich, for joining us

[Vikas Gulani @MRIvikas]

Turning our @UMichRadiology hallways over to our people, who it turns out, are super artistic. Our very own art show. Thank you @Sarah_C_Abate @Gobluefishy @AparnaJoshiMD @kklein55 @MattDavenportMD, for organizing

[Vikas Gulani @MRIvikas]

And the team creating light-hearted group art. Dr. James Van Zwaluwenburg, our first Chair from 1917-22 (of the first radiology department in the country) looks on in silent approval
