Important read for those interested in translation of AI to clinical practice. journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a…. Deep learning networks can appear to perform well in identifying disease in an image, but may actually be exploiting confounding issues in training data (1/2)

Great example of next gen, radiopaque embolics making #irad safer and more precise

Most profound thing I've learned in the past eight years is the difference between behavior and intention. Behavior is what someone is doing, intention is why they're doing it. You judge yourself based on your intention, and everyone else based on their behavior.

And to do so, we need clinical/inpatient experience at EVERY stage of training GVATAKEN Society of Interventional Radiology #irad SIR RFS #nohiatus

Pleasure and a privilege to get back into the angio suite with Dan Brown and Reza Imani

My attempt to provide scientific support for the case I have been making in various venues over the last couple of years that AI won’t replace radiologists:

Thanks @VUMCradiology, Reed Omary, MD, MS for letting us take the day off service to learn about #PAD at #LEARN2019! Society of Interventional Radiology #IRad

"A growing body of evidence shows that state-of-the-art models learn to exploit spurious statistical patterns in datasets .. instead of learning meaning in the flexible and generalizable way that humans do" -- Adversarial NLI: A New Benchmark for NLU arxiv.org/abs/1910.14599

Totally percutaneous extra-axillary, extra-anatomic, veno-venous bypass for debilitating arm swelling secondary to invasive breast cancer. Find an Interventional Radiologist for the most complex venous interventions. #IRAD #Venous #TheFuture SIR RFS David Shin University of Washington PennIR

“For the cost of a single marginally functional F-35, let alone a white elephant new aircraft carrier, we could fund viral surveillance and basic molecular biology for all of these pathogens for years.” 💯

There's an uncomfortable conversation that many seem to be avoiding when it comes to #socialdistancing and #flattenthecurve. The goal is to spread out over time when people get exposed to and subsequently become infected with #coronavirus. 1/

For applicants applying into #IR, look for programs that have "bought-in" to the new training paradigm. Key indicators include a longitudinal IR clinic, an inpatient admitting service, and a wide breadth of service lines. #MedStudentTwitter

Is your #radiology #AI tool a #painkiller (relieves the radiologist from performing a perfunctory chore), a #vitamin (adds some efficiency to an otherwise routine task), or a #hallucinogen (allows the radiologist to see things otherwise imperceptible to the naked eye).

The third installment of @vumcradiology AI / Machine Learning educational series is Tuesday, 9/8 at 1PM CST with Aidoc | Always on AI. All #FutureRadRes and #MedStudentTwitter are welcome and encouraged to join! Details here trending.markiiisys.com/vumc

Intro to Research Online Program. Starting tonight - spread the word! Julius Chapiro Adam Swersky Nick Xiao Daryl Goldman MD Eric J. Keller Spencer Workman, MD Joseph Kallini, MD Ahmed Gabr, MD

When the data comes back better than you expected... Patrick Doyle Spencer Workman, MD @VUMCradiology

Thx to @VUMCradiology #IRad chief residents Spencer Workman, MD, M. Gould, & Collin Howser, MD for joining me for a 4-hr immersive leadership workshop. We discussed following topics: 1. Defining leadership 2. How to successfully transition into new job 3. Building practices 4. Conflict

📅 Mark your calendars for these #SIR23PHX presentations on dosimetry findings from a study directed by Dan Brown and the @VUMCradiology team. ⭐️ Today, 3/6 at 3p.m. MST by Patrick Doyle ⭐️ Wednesday, 3/8 at 3p.m. MST by Spencer Workman, MD Society of Interventional Radiology

Rad Seg of HCC with CR first imaging after treatment. Look at the relative increase in perfusion at XPer CT between Lobar (image 2) and Segmental (image 3) injection. Level of selection matters! #IRad #Y90 Patrick Doyle Spencer Workman, MD

Great presentations by Patrick Doyle w Nima Kokabi MD moderating at GEST -Global Embolization Symposium & Technologies Patrick reported dosimetry of CRC and NET. Improved outcomes at 120 Gy for each
