What if subtle CT findings you're used to skimming over could actually predict increased mortality and signal the earliest stages of fibrotic lung disease? In this episode, we dive into how interstitial lung abnormalities—once considered incidental and insignificant—are now being redefined, reclassified and closely scrutinized in light of new evidence and evolving guidelines from ATS and Fleischner. Join us as we explore the diagnostic gray zones, progression risks, radiologic pitfalls and whether AI might soon help us see clearly through the fog.

Discover how Cleveland Clinic transformed a single ultrasound machine into a cutting-edge, hospital-wide Point-of-Care Ultrasonography (POCUS) program that now performs thousands of cardiac, lung, and vascular ultrasounds annually. In this episode, Drs. Ajit Moghekar and Siddharth Dugar detail their journey from early adoption to national leadership in POCUS, including its critical role during the COVID-19 pandemic and its integration into Epic and PACS for real-time clinical decision-making. Learn how they’ve overcome barriers in training, quality assurance and workflow optimization to standardize and scale across regional ICUs. The discussion also explores advanced applications like TEE during cardiac arrest, novel diagnostics in ARDS and sepsis phenotyping, and how AI and wearable ultrasound tech are set to revolutionize critical care. If you're invested in elevating bedside care with innovative imaging, this is the podcast for you.
