In the second episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss recent studies published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that suggested moving to more of a risk-adapted model for mammography screening. 

Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss recently issued updates to breast cancer screening recommendations from the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), and potential implications for health equity. 

Richard Duszak, MD, FACR and Mina Makary, MD, discuss demographic trends and a possible shortage of radiologists, a recent survey about the roles of non-physician radiology providers (NPRPs), physician burnout and what steps are being taken to recruit incoming medical students into radiology.

Dr. Charles Liu and Dr. Jonathan Russin discuss the benefits, differences, and potential of fPACT (functional photoacoustic computed tomography) in comparison to the brain imaging gold standard -- functional MRI (fMRI).

Amol Karnick, president and chief executive officer, and Karim S. Karim, Ph.D. chief technology officer, both of KA Imaging discuss the current trends and future opportunities for innovation with X-ray imaging.

Matthew Michela, President and CEO of Life Image, discusses ONC information-blocking rules and strategies practices can take to ensure compliance.

Nina Kottler, M.D., chief medical officer of artificial intelligence for Radiology Partners, discusses what providers can learn about the state of these technologies from RSNA 2020 -- and what the future holds.

Rich Heller, M.D., with Radiology Partners, and Lucy Spalluto, M.D., with Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, discuss the highlights of their RSNA 2020 session on health disparities, focusing on the underlying factors and challenges radiologists face to providing greater access to care.

In this episode, Dr. Michael Recht, chair of the radiology department at New York University Langone Health, discusses the partnership between NYU and Facebook AI that has created an accelerated MRI that is four times as fast as a standard MRI.

In this episode, Dr. Shalom Kalnicki, from Montefiore and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, discusses the disparities minority patients face with cancer screenings and what can be done to increase access during the pandemic.

Dr. Anupam Basu from Cook County Health in Chicago discusses the 30-pack-year threshold for lung cancer screening that overlooks at-risk African American smokers.

Dr. Michael Gotway discusses the signature signs of EVALI -- lung injuries related to e-cigarettes or vaping -- in CT scans in this podcast.

Hello, and welcome to The Reading Room, the Diagnostic Imaging Podcast. We are joined today by Matthew Michela to discuss how data can improve our understanding of COVID-19, what we have learned from the pandemic, and what best practices facilities can implement to bolster their interoperability and accessibility. Mr. Michela, a 30-year healthcare industry veteran, is the president and chief executive officer of the interoperability company, Life Image.

Thank you for listening to The Reading Room, Diagnostic Imaging's podcast. We are joined today by Dr. Laurence Klotz, former chief of the division of urology at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center and former president of the Canadian Urological Association. He is also a long-standing proponent of active surveillance for men who have been diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer. Here, he discusses the use of micro-ultrasound in detecting prostate cancer and the role it could play in supplementing multi-parametric MRI in searching for and more easily identifying the disease.
