Dear AuntMinnie member,
Our most highly viewed article this week reported on how higher neighborhood deprivation is tied to lower screening mammography use. Delve further into the data here.
The ongoing radiology workforce strain was evident in a new study from a group from Yale School of Medicine. Although the radiologist pipeline has grown, almost none of that growth has reached patients, according to the researchers.
In the latest episode of the Keeping Up With the Radiologists Podcast series, host Saurabh (Harry) Jha, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania, spoke with Frank Lexa, MD, about the three major trends facing radiology.
We’ve also released a new Ultrasound MinnieCast. In Episode 16, Associate Editor Amerigo Allegretto caught up with Brenda McMahon, founder and president of the Pennsylvania Association for Sonographers, on the benefits creating a state association.
In other news generating significant page views last week on AuntMinnie, an AI algorithm was found to significantly reduce reporting time for chest CT scans.
Please see below for our other top stories of the week.
