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.

Join us for the last installment of this three part series about re-imagining the radiology residency! In this episode, Fatima Elahi, DO guest co-hosts with Maddi and Jeff to discuss RadDiscord, which is a free educational digital community that allows equalized access to high-quality education. Available to medical students, radiology residents, as well as attending physicians, the platform allows access to case conferences, crowd-sourced Anki decks, and a supportive community.

Part 2 of Revamping the Radiology Residency! Fatima Elahi, DO joins Maddi and Jeff again to discuss competency-based education and its feasibility for real-world adoption in residencies. Priscilla Slanetz, MD, MPH, FACR gives her insight regarding metrics and standardized radiology residency curricula to enable a competency-based education that is time independent.

If you could build your own radiology residency from theground up, what would be the key ingredients you would include? In this episode, Jeff and Maddi invite Fatima Elahi, DO to join them in a discussion on how they would revamp the radiology residency. They also get insights from MaryScanlon, MD and how she has adapted the radiology residency as the program director at her own institution. She also discusses navigating challenges such as increasing personalized teaching sessions, tailoring case-based conferences, and establishing specialty residency tracks.

How do academic radiology chairs view the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in practice and how do they intend on implementing it in their departments? In this episode, Jeff and Maddi catch up with Elizabeth Burnside, MD, MPH, MS and Elizabeth Morris, MD who found in their recent study that radiology chairs have high levels of optimism about implementing AI in clinical practice. Although cost was identified as an obstacle, chairs indicated that they will work to address all manner of problems ranging from "tame" to "wicked."

Now that large language models (LLMs) are widely available, how do radiology program directors view their use among residency applicants to craft their personal statements? In this episode, Maddi interviews Lars Grimm, MD, MHS, FSBI about his recent JACR publication and observations regarding the unwelcome but inevitable use of LLMs by applicants.
