@MatjazLeskovar Se strinjam. Namesto učenja na pamet potrebujemo več finančne pismenosti, logike, računalnikega mišljenja, skupinskega in projektnega dela. To so temelji za prihodnost. 🚀

Sem o tem pred kratkim nekaj pisal tudi za @ElNormal_revija:

Everyone is talking about the new @NatureMedicine paper (https://t.co/aganqRos9U), but I think the real story is being buried.
Here is the cold reality: The AI passed the medical boards with flying colors (~95% accuracy). But when real humans actually used it for triage, their accuracy dropped to <35%. They performed worse than the control group who just used Google.

Practically, this means benchmarks are not safety tests. We are validating tools in a vacuum (simulations) that collapse in the real world.

As oncologists, we know this pattern: surrogate endpoints ≠ survival data.
Passing the boards is just a surrogate. Safe patient interaction is the only outcome that matters. Right now, we are optimizing for the test and failing the patient.

Na Kliničnem inštitutu za radiologijo UKCL so se razveselili prvega od treh novih magnetnoresonančnih aparatov (MR) dveh jakosti 1,5 tesla (1,5T) in enega 3 tesla (3T).

Ker gre za dragocene naprave velikih dimenzij, ki tehtajo več ton, tudi dostava ni bila vsakdanja, zato so jih v stavbo pripeljali kar skozi streho.

Novi MR-ji v prvi vrsti pomenijo pomemben korak za paciente – od hitrejše in natančnejše diagnostike kot pozneje do zanesljivejšega spremljanja zdravljenja.

Trenutno potekajo montaže, testiranja in uvajanja zaposlenih. Sodobna oprema namreč omogoča uvedbo novih tehnologij in napredne programske opreme.

Predstojnik inštituta izr. prof. dr. Dimitrij Kuhelj, dr. med. je v kratkem videu pojasnil, zakaj so novi aparati tako pomembna pridobitev za našo ustanovo in kaj pravzaprav pomenijo oznake MR-jev 3-tesla (3T) in 1,5 T.

S kolegi upajo, da bodo z delom na novi pridobitvi začeli še ta mesec!

Primerjava dela radiologa v bolnišnici (predvsem terciarnem centru) in radiologa v zasebnem slikovno-diagnostičnem centru zato niti približno ni na mestu.

[Rok Dezman @rokdezman]

Vloga radiologa v bolnišnici (še posebej v terciarnem centru) je povsem drugačna kot vloga radiologa v zasebnem "imaging" centru.
V bolnišnici je radiolog član multidisciplinarnega tima; priprava izvidov je res del njegovih obveznosti, vendar še zdaleč ne edina.

@vlah58 @TVOdmevi Dušan, a razložite malo podrobneje, da bomo razumeli tudi tisti, ki nismo iz foha.

[Rok Dezman @rokdezman]

Ravno preiskave pri hospitaliziranih pacientih pa so diagnostično najbolj kompleksne in za interpretacijo zahtevajo največ časa.

#ECIOtakeover @rokdezman
As this ECIO takeover week comes to an end, I’d like to briefly look back and say thank you. ❤️

#ECIOtakeover with @rokdezman
Today’s case shows why #interventionaloncology is also about restoring physiology so cancer treatment can continue. Malignant VCS/SVC syndrome can rapidly derail therapy if central venous return isn’t re-established. (1/10)

#ECIOtakeover @rokdezman
UMC Ljubljana has major experience with #electrochemotherapy (ECT) through close MDT teamwork and in partnership with the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana’s Department of Experimental Oncology, which helps develop electroporation-based therapies. ⬇️​#IRad

#ECIOtakeover @rokdezman
I’m an enthusiastic runner, but between work and family, time for running is limited. Congresses help me solve that in a nice way. (1/5)

Don't miss this week's #ECIOtakeover and #TraineeThursday with Dr. Rok Dezman and Dr. Tim Velkavrh from the UMC Ljubljana! 🇸🇮

@rokdezman

[ECIO @ECIOcongress]

#ECIOtakeover @rokdezman #TraineeThursday We’re Miha Japelj &amp; Leon Jarabek, radiology residents currently on rotation in the IR department at UMC Ljubljana. We’d like to show you one of the tools that really helps us as trainees: CBCT laser guidance for percutaneous interventions

@DrRinoyRA @cirsesociety @ECIOcongress We would love to have IVUS available for these kinds of cases; unfortunately we are not there yet. We used the measurements from preprocesural CECT thorax and then opted for stent-grafts.
