When it comes to AI auto-contouring, are residents and faculty seeing it the same way? A new study by Alex Qian and Nikhil Kotha, MD shows differences between the two groups. practicalradonc.org/article/S1879-… Residents reported: • Faster CT-based anatomy learning • Major time

If you don't want a fistula from SpaceOAR placement, go see Daniel E Spratt There were at least three SpaceOAR-associated fistulas in Oct 2025 alone(!) accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/c… Many reports of pain, abscess, radiation delays, and SpaceOAR poop-outage

Manufacturing for the tandem and ovoid device for cervical cancer brachytherapy may have to be shifted to LaserDisc facilities

Twice a day RT to 60 Gy is *the* standard of care for limited stage SCLC It should replace *the previous* #radonc standard of care: twice a day to 45 Gy If you don't (oftenly, persuadingly) offer twice a day RT for small cell #lungcancer ... rethink those life choices

The whole medical publishing ecosystem (free content, free peer review, but $$ to publish/read) is a bizarre, exploitative business model. Even if one believes clinicians owe some degree of unpaid "academic service," it’s absurd publishers profit so massively off our free labor.

“it’s the broken insurance industry, where NURSES spend nearly half their time fighting with insurance bureaucrats who say no to life-saving treatments” Haha. Nurses. Nurse peer to peers I reckon. I could have had my nurses doing the fighting the whole time?! Whewie.

ACRO, with support from the Dr. Luther Brady Foundation, is providing up to fifteen $500 travel grants to attend #ACRO2026! Med students, residents & @ACROSEALs (#radonc leaders) who are ACRO members can apply. The deadline is next Wednesday: acro.org/page/acro-trav…

As a practicing #radonc, I am aware that federal law proscribes that any time I get a treatment denied for a Medicare Advantage patient I can appeal. And if denied the denial will be reviewed by an independent reviewer (“Maximus”) who can reverse the insurance company’s decision

Theory: There would be about two or less proton treatment centers in US (at current proton machine prices) if protons reimbursed <100% IMRT rates

Grateful to see my AI art pieces, "Back Pain" and "Tree‑in‑bud", exhibited at RSNA 2025. 🙏 Thank you for all the kind messages during the meeting. 👏🏼 Congratulations to others whose AI art is also displayed. #RSNA25 #TheArtofImaging #RadiologyArt #AIart #Radiology #RSNA2025

Every dog with cancer I’ve ever seen get radiation therapy winds up doing amazingly well

We've injected ~6 olympic size swimming pools of contrast material into Medicare beneficiaries over the last ~15y (about a megagray of CTs, too) auntminnie.com/practice-manag… The contrast agent material is becoming detectable in the water supply(!) link.springer.com/article/10.118…

The first modern review on the treatment of tendinopathies with low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) has now been published and is available online. This work represents a truly international collaboration, bringing together expertise from across disciplines and continents.

Never meet your heroes, or obsessively read their essays or books, or be inspired to consider neurology as a specialty as a medical student, or hold in heart ‘Awakenings’ as a favorite movie
