The incidental finding of hepatic steatosis on imaging may present an avenue for opportunistic screening, leading to more efficient identification of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and risk prediction for fibrosis. How can radiologists best facilitate this?

In this episode, Maddi and Jeff sit down with Emily Schonfeld, MD and Andrea Siobhan Kierans, MD to discuss their recent review article about recommendations for when hepatic steatosis is found on imaging and subsequent noninvasive tests to help predict overall fibrosis staging.

Have you ever wondered what additional screening measures could be implemented by utilizing information from routine CT scans?

In this episode, Maddi and Jeff were joined by Soterios Gyftopoulos, MD, MBA, FACR and Casey Pelzl, MPH to discuss their research about how simple, opportunistic CT bone density screening could transform bone health and healthcare spending.

The Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) is the largest pay-for-performance program that links reimbursement to performance of Medicare clinicians. How have radiologists performed under this program and are there certain predictors of success? In this episode, Maddi and Jeff are joined by YoonKyung Chung, PhD and Lauren Nicola, MD to discuss their findings about radiologists' performance under the 2019 MIPS program and they also gain valuable insight from the experts.
