I wrote my first article for Imaging Community Exchange (ICE) Magazine, “Will AI Replace Radiologist” for the January 1, 2020, issue.
In the first article, we talked about why onboarding needs to be treated as a long-term engagement strategy, not a one-week administrative task.
CHICAGO – Using a deep learning AI model, researchers identified the first-of-its-kind biomarker of chronic stress detectable through routine imaging, according to research presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
Statistically, by the time February rolls around, about 80% of all New Year’s resolutions have already fallen by the wayside.
As diagnostic imaging systems continue advancing in sophistication, connectivity, and performance expectations, the technical demands placed on imaging service professionals grow accordingly. Today’s service responsibilities require an understanding of system design, operating behavior, diagnostics, performance verification, and safety – not simply procedural familiarity. Training quality directly influences the ability to sustain up-time, manage life cycle performance, and support patient care.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is in healthcare systems and there has been a recent change to the post-deployment requirement from the FDA. My goal is to raise awareness of the requirements and help define roles for responsibility.

Research into the effects of lifestyle and physical fitness on adolescent brain function remains limited to date.
