Malpractice does not have to define how you practice. Francis Deng, MD, speaks with host Surbhi Raichandani, MD, about understanding malpractice through reporting language, communication, uncertainty, peer learning, and system design, with practical guidance for early-career radiologists seeking to practice thoughtfully rather than defensively.
Send a textWelcome to this episode of For the love of Chiropractic. On this episode I have the opportunity to sit and chat with a board certified medical radiologist, Dr. Jeffrey Rose. During our chat, he discusses ways we can help the radiologist create a better report for us with the specific information we need and are looking for from the study by giving him better information on the imaging order. Also, he discusses the best way to initiate and foster a professional relationship with the radiologist. He then goes on to talk about how his area of healthcare has changed over the years and continues to change. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Rose.
Better habits start now. Poor ergonomics in the angio suite lead to cumulative neck and back injuries, absenteeism, presenteeism, and even early retirement. This episode of the BackTable Podcast offers a guide on on how to improve your ergonomics in the the cath lab, featuring interventional radiologist Dr. Keith Horton and host Dr. Ally Baheti. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Horton and Dr. Baheti discuss common setup mistakes (especially monitor and ultrasound placement), practical positioning guidance (neutral posture, monitor height/angle, table height at elbow level), lead considerations (two-piece vs one-piece, refitting with body changes, costs vs. injury), and procedural stressors from longer, more complex cases. Horton also reviews evidence and standards (including SIR guidance), highlights surgical ergonomics programs like Duke's education-and-leadership model with scheduled microbreaks, and describes emerging mitigations such as augmented reality guidance, robotics, and “zero-gravity” lead systems, emphasizing that strain prevention and intentional setup are essential for career longevity. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction01:43 - Defining Ergonomics04:52 - Common Setup Mistakes07:31 - Neutral Posture Basics09:02 - Lead Fit And Support12:33 - Fighting Bad Room Design14:46 - Augmented Reality Workflow17:11 - Leadless Shielding Options20:53 - Repetitive Strain Tactics25:06 - Future Tech On Horizon27:56 - Maternity Lead Frustrations30:22 - Why Incentives Misalign32:45 - When Ergonomics Fails33:59 - Duke Program Blueprint37:02 - Tools Monitor Table Setup39:05 - Microbreaks That Stick42:46 - Room Setup Realities47:08 - Reminders and Wrap Up

If you plan to hit your 401K contribution limit for the year, but see that you can still add money through “after-tax contributions,” you may be wondering if that is a Mega Backdoor Roth and, more importantly, if you should do it. Nate Reineke and Kyle Hoelzle break down what exactly a Mega Backdoor Roth is and some cases where physicians should use it. We also discuss how you can still contribute post-tax dollars, plus some alternatives that may save you taxes in the long run. We also answer your colleagues' questions. A Dermatologist in New Jersey asks, “Is VOO enough exposure to the US market right now?” A Double doctor family in Oregon says, “Should we invest in a condo for our daughter who is going to undergrad and medical school at the same college next year?” A Radiologist in Texas wonders, “I just received a $300k inheritance. When is the right time to invest it, and what should I invest in?” Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into all the money you need for college and retirement?

How will AI transform Radiology for both doctors & patients? I sit down with Dr. Sean Raj, Breast Radiologist & SimonMed's Chief Medical & Chief Innovation Officer, to learn how AI is transforming how we interpret imaging tests & deliver results. We discuss how AI is making us better, more efficient Radiologists while also transforming the patient experience with easier scheduling & results delivery (he blows my mind with the Instagram style reels each patient receives with their personalized test results). We also discuss whole-body MRI (he's pro btw!).I learned a lot from the conversation & I know you will too!
Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Matthew Hermann, MD, a radiologist and Founder of the teleradiology company Right Read MD. Dr. Hermann began his career as a conventional radiologist but soon saw the virtues and opportunities of off-site practice. Now based in Puerto Rico, he leads a team of physicians who provide high-quality radiology care to multiple hospitals. Matt loves Puerto Rico's culture and doesn't object to their low tax rates either! During our 40-minute discussion, Dr. Hermann discussed the potential downsides of conventional telemedicine models. For example, groups that are incentivized solely by productivity, especially those run by private equity companies, may yield suboptimal results. Radiologists working at home can also feel isolated and miss out on learning from colleagues that would occur in a more traditional patient care setting. Dr. Hermann explored whether teleradiology is a good long-term career option. While today's demand is great, it's unclear what the future holds for this type of medical service. Dr. Hermann emphasized the hidden value of dedicated on-site radiologists who can develop professional relationships with referring physicians. Relationships between radiologists and surgeons, for example, have proven to influence surgical decision-making. However, when hospitals lack the resources for permanent on-site radiologists, teleradiology becomes a clinically necessary and attractive option. Chart access for teleradiologists, along with a focus on patient care rather than pure productivity, can help mitigate the negatives of operating off-site. Dr. Hermann's company handles licensing and credentialing. He also ensures that radiologists on his team are appropriately compensated. Right Read MD continues to grow.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again: MK ULTRA, satanic ritual abuse, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and thriver, loving mother, published writer and author, content creator and podcaster, Physician and Radiologist turned activist, Founder of the Angel Coalition and Co-Founder of Women and Children First and the Babushka Brigade, Star Fort enthusiast, award winner of the University of Washington School of Medicine's prestigious Humanitarian Award, podcast regular, and one of my dearest friends: Dr. Juliette Engel In the dark heart of 1950s America, where the CIA's MK ULTRA program spun mind control, sexual torment, and satanic ritual abuse through hidden annexes, six-year-old Juliette Engel was sold by her OSS-CIA-NSA-linked father. Raped before him as he took payment and sneered, "This is what I raised you for," her innocence shattered in a crucible of torture meant to break her mind for evil ends. Yet a divine spark endured.As a teenager, barefoot and amnesic from trauma, she escaped. With unbreakable will, she earned her medical degree, built a thriving radiology practice in Seattle, and won acclaim for her compassion. In 1992, founding the Miramed Institute in Moscow to advance women's and children's rights, she uncovered state orphanages trafficking girls - triggering memories of her own "sex magic" abuse and igniting a lifelong war on the modern slave trade.From pain rose purpose. Her ground-breaking memoir Sparky: Surviving Sex Magic, sequel Angels Over Moscow, and thriller Moscow Traffic expose truth and organized crime. Anchored by her grandmother's Lord's Prayer and faith in Christianity's power against darkness, she launched Protect Our Children, rallying communities to fight U.S. child sex trafficking - the world's top consumer - through local action and transparency.Juliette's revelations extend to star forts - ancient, star-shaped bastions engineered with sacred geometry, harmonic acoustics, and telluric energy amplification. These structures, scattered across the United States, Russia, and worldwide, were not mere defenses but thought to be advanced energy nodes in a pre-reset global grid. And this fascinating topic is what we will be discussing today - the history and relevance of star forts and how they've intertwined into Juliette's life, memories, art and advocacy. This is a topic that has never been discussed in-depth on this podcast before and I'm very excited for Juliette to do a deep dive with us on this hidden history that is a piece to the puzzle and, unexpectedly, has ties directly related to mind control and advanced technology - things we hear about often in survivor testimonies.

Marissa Fayer, CEO of DeepLook Medical, points out the challenges of detecting breast cancer in dense breast tissue using mammography. The DeepLook DP Precise platform is a visual intelligence tool to help radiologists see inside dense tissue more clearly without disrupting their workflow, potentially reducing the need for additional tests or biopsies. A recent FDA mandate requiring providers to inform patients about their breast density has increased patient demand for better screening tools Marissa explains, "We're focused on breast imaging, and it's very specifically in dense breasts, because unfortunately, with dense, it's like seeing a cotton ball in the cloud. Radiologists have a really hard time seeing that in standard ways. This is a known problem. I developed the three mammography systems, so I absolutely know that it's a problem. We help radiologists visualize better with visual intelligence to be able to see inside these mammograms so that they potentially don't have to send their patients back for additional ultrasounds, other mammograms, or even biopsies." "So dense breasts show up white on mammograms, and cancer shows up white. So again, it's the analogy of the cotton bowl in the cloud. It might be there, but it might not be. The cloud is just hiding the cotton ball. This is just how X-ray technology is. It's been a problem and known since its inception, and unfortunately 45% to 50% of all women have dense breasts. And so, this is a very common problem, and there's nothing anybody can do. You can't diet or change the way your body composition is. In reality, this is just an additional add-on to existing screening that is a standard of care to help women." #DeepLookMedical #WomenInHealthTech #BreastCancerAwareness #DenseBreastTissue #AIinHealthcare #DigitalHealth #HealthEquity #EarlyDetection #EmpoweredPatients #PatientCenteredCare #WomensHealth #Breastcancer deeplookmedical.com Download the transcript here

Key Topics CoveredThe core question: Will AI replace radiologists?How AI is currently used (and mis-used) in radiology.Strengths and limitations of AI in diagnostic imaging.What aspects of a radiologist's role are unlikely to be replaced.Potential future shifts in the role of radiologists.What radiologists (or students) can do to adapt / thrive in an AI-augmented future.Summary / TakeawayAI is a tool, not a replacement. It has real strengths (pattern recognition, scale, routine case handling), but also serious limitations (rare/nuanced cases, clinical integration, regulatory/ethical oversight). Radiologists who embrace the best of AI and adapt are likely to thrive. The profession won't disappear, but the nature of the work will evolve. This evolution may take longer than the hype suggests..Also, see this in written form at The Radiology Review Insider.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again: MK ULTRA, satanic ritual abuse, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and thriver, loving mother, published writer and author, content creator and podcaster, Physician and Radiologist turned activist, Founder of the Angel Coalition and Co-Founder of Women and Children First and the Babushka Brigade, Star Fort enthusiast, award winner of the University of Washington School of Medicine's prestigious Humanitarian Award, podcast regular, and one of my dearest friends: Dr. Juliette EngelBorn in 1949 into a US Intelligence family, Juliette was sold at age six into the CIA's MK ULTRA program, a sinister operation of trauma-based mind control authorized in 1953. Within MONARCH - as Juliette describes as ‘MK ULTRA for children', she endured unimaginable horrors as a small child - LSD, hypnosis, ritualistic and organized abuse, sex magick, trafficking across borders… and this only scratches the surface. Her childhood was stolen to no avail and her mind fragmented by trauma-induced dissociation. Yet, at 16, Juliette escaped, piecing together a new life with no memory of her past.Amnesia became her shield as she pursued a medical degree, specializing in radiology and building a thriving ultrasound practice in Bellevue, Washington. Counseling in the 1990s helped unlock her suppressed memories, and despite threats from her parents, she faced her truth head-on. In 1992, she sold her practice and founded the MiraMed Institute in post-Soviet Russia. By 1999, in Moscow, she launched the Angel Coalition - an underground railroad rescuing thousands of trafficking victims. Her work exposed the global child sex trade, earning her the University of Washington School of Medicine's Humanitarian Award. Her 2021 memoir, Sparky: Surviving Sex Magick, is a gripping MK ULTRA exposé, using her own testimony to shine a light on the darkness she survived as a child. Through podcasts and advocacy, she connects her past to modern trafficking networks, warning of MK ULTRA's lingering influence. Today, Juliette is back again to talk about some current events helping and shaping the survivor community along with a discussion on how survivors can take their power back and move beyond the devastation of victim-hood. A mother, podcaster, and faith-driven warrior, Juliette transforms pain into purpose, inspiring a movement against exploitation. Her journey - from the depths of darkness to a radiant beacon of hope - ignites a fire in us all, proving that one unyielding soul can shatter chains, heal hearts, and inspire a world to rise against injustice with unstoppable courage.RECOMMENDED READING - MK ULTRA DOCS: https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/dnsa-intelligence/2024-12-23/cia-behavior-control-experiments-focus-new-scholarlyCONNECT WITH JULIETTE: Website: https://julietteengel.com/CONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll linkSupport the show
In this thought-provoking conversation, surgeon Shafi Ahmed and digital health futurist John Nosta revisit Geoffrey Hinton's bold 2016 prediction that radiologists would soon be replaced by AI.
Dr. Linda Chu speaks with Dr. Andrew Trout, Professor of Radiology and Director of Clinical Research at Cincinnati Children's, and Dr. Erin Angel, Vice President of Research and Scientific Affairs at GE HealthCare. They discuss the unique challenges of pediatric imaging and how collaboration and technology are advancing care for young patients while improving imaging for all. Sponsored by GE HealthCare.
Nicole Saphier, radiologist and the director of breast imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Monmouth & Fox News contributor, joins the show to discuss Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Senate testimony, vaccines, and public health policy. She argues that the Biden administration, not RFK Jr. or Trump, is responsible for today's vaccine distrust due to mismanagement and overreach during COVID. Addressing claims that vaccines may trigger cancer or autism, she stressed that while inflammation can spark disease, evidence linking vaccines directly is limited and inconclusive. Saphier emphasized the need to distinguish between vaccines—highlighting the importance of measles and polio shots, while questioning mandates for hepatitis B or repeated boosters like whooping cough and COVID. She criticized the CDC as politicized and broken, warning against swinging from one extreme to another, and called for balanced, science-driven leadership. Ultimately, she said repealing all vaccine mandates, as Florida proposes, goes too far—legislatures should evaluate each vaccine individually rather than an “all or nothing” approach.

Dr. Jeremy Friese knows medicine from both sides. A practicing radiologist and technology executive, he's seen firsthand how administrative burden undermines care. In this episode of NEJM AI Grand Rounds, he walks through the origins of prior authorization, explains why he believes artificial intelligence can close the gap between patients and payers, and argues that real reform means showing your work—just like in math class. At Humata, he's combining human oversight, LLMs, and interoperability to try to fix a broken system. For clinicians overwhelmed by back-office complexity, this conversation offers both urgency and optimism. Transcript.
