@mdcn2u @RepGregMurphy Thanks for tagging me on this, Dr. Graziano. Agree this seems out of touch. I wrote a story and included your comment. Appreciate it! https://t.co/DpVeWYG8aW

The research paper referenced here is short but pretty fundamentally flawed, using both old data and specious reasoning.

Some brief discussion: https://t.co/1O7rKPKZtB

Interesting perspective. 👇

Real-world practice suggests the opposite: imaging volumes keep increasing, not decreasing.

Although there is certainly a lot of unnecessary imaging performed, the fact that it is still carried out indicates that it fulfills a need beyond appropriateness use guidelines.

@benwhitemd @drmoneymatters @RichDuszak @reh3md @Rad_Partners @RadKottler @woojinrad @heacockmd By the way, here is the article that I wrote about this, for anyone who missed it: https://t.co/svO0YtPsfJ

Curious if radiologists have any comments on this. @CrainsNewYork recently published a discussion with three area hospital CEOs. Here is what the head of @NYCHealthSystem had to say about radiology: “We could replace a great deal of radiologists with AI at this moment..." 1/x

@benwhitemd @drmoneymatters @RichDuszak @reh3md @Rad_Partners @RadKottler @woojinrad @heacockmd any thoughts?

[Dr Amine Korchi @AmineKorchiMD]

Philips said it sees a near future where autonomous or “self-driving MRI” potentially becomes reality. https://t.co/LEH8CIIDgj

Does phasing out fax machines impact medical imaging in 2026? How many folks are still having to deal with these nowadays? https://t.co/1KVuzVXPW4

Here is our story about the @USGAO report on the No Surprises Act. Feels a little bit like inside baseball at times, but there is some good data in there. https://t.co/MFHAU1P8C6

@JeffreyLDavis44 @USGAO @drmoneymatters @benwhitemd @WillyRontgen @EdGainesIII So, what's your takeaway for radiology leaders? Do you have a comment on this?

[Marty Stempniak @MStempniak]

Wanting to cover this @USGAO report but having a hard time coming up with a headline/conclusion. Lots of radiology mentions in here. Hoping to crowdsource some takeaways. Anything of interest here? @drmoneymatters @benwhitemd @WillyRontgen @EdGainesIII https://t.co/oIlKV8AVt4

The hot radiology job market, including in academic neuroradiology, contributes to the perception of opportunity costs that make a two-year fellowship program less attractive.

[Marty Stempniak @MStempniak]

@JeffreyLDavis44 @USGAO @drmoneymatters @benwhitemd @WillyRontgen @EdGainesIII Did payment rates go down for radiology (and if so, by how much)? I was having a hard time trying to ascertain that. Saw a BenefitsPro article that had the EM decrease at 12%. https://t.co/AtovmWUz5N

What we're reading tonight: excellent column yesterday from @MStempniak

.@fox32news Your Bears postgame broadcast has been dreadful. Cut to commercials right in the middle of Caleb's interview and then did it again in the middle of the good, better, best speech.

Refusing to sign any high-end free agents and then raising the beer prices by another $1.25.

What’s your favorite Cubs tradition?

- “Go Cubs Go” song at the end of each W

- “Whoop there it is” after every home run

- Throwing the ball back into the field after the opposing team hits a HR

- YMCA song after the opposing pitcher gets taken out of the game
