🚨Radiology residency positions are up 33%, yet radiologists per capita have barely budged. Where is everyone going?! 👀 🎙️ Dr. Ajay Malhotra unpacks the workforce crisis—and explains why 10% fewer unnecessary scans might be better than 10% more radiologists. 🎧 Listen now! shorturl.at/FgYVj @YaleRadiology @YaleRadRes @RichDuszak @JACRJournal #radres #radtwitter #medtwitter #radiology

📍The question isn’t whether scale is useful. It’s who gets the benefits. 🎙️David Rosman, MD, MBA on the distinction that matters: consolidation can be about money; integration can be about patient care. Small practices may struggle to survive. Independence doesn’t have to. #Radres #Radiology #Radtwitter #Medtwitter @andykmoriarity @JACRJournal @darosman

If bigger is inevitable, what are we getting in return? 🏥With independent private practices now below 50%, Andy Moriarity, MD, MBA says the real question isn’t whether we consolidate—it’s what we gain from scale. The challenge: capturing those benefits without losing local responsiveness, physician voice, and autonomy. 🎧 #Radres #Radiology #Consolidation #Radtwitter #Medtwitter @andykmoriarity @JACRJournal

Buying the AI might be the easy part. Evaluating it, integrating it, monitoring it, and actually making it useful? That takes infrastructure—and money 💰 David Rosman, MD, MBA on why AI will favor scale in radiology.

🚨 NEW EPISODE: Your TLDR for the October issue is here! 🤖 Is AI accuracy the wrong benchmark? 💻 Can you become an expert by vibe coding? 🩻 Does reading your own imaging lead to ordering more? 🎓 Are we training enough radiologists?

At scale, fair doesn't always mean equal. 🎙️ @andykmoriarity on what consolidation looks like when it’s done well: preserving physician voice, letting people choose how much autonomy they want, and recognizing that contribution doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. #Radiology #Radres #Radtwitter #Medtwitter @JACRJournal

📌Culture doesn’t live in the org chart. It lives in whether physicians believe they still have a voice. Whether they feel like part of a team. 🎙️David Rosman, MD, MBA on why, especially at scale, culture has to be built with intention. #Radres #Radiology #Medtwitter #Radtwitter @andykmoriarity @JACRJournal

🤔Private equity caused radiology consolidation…right? Not so fast. David Rosman, MD, MBA argues one of the biggest misconceptions is that PE started this trend. In many ways, radiologists wanted scale too—for flexibility, subspecialization, coverage, and more sustainable careers.

What if consolidation isn’t the villain of the story? 🎙️Andy Moriarity, MD argues that growing larger can actually make radiologists’ lives better. Listen to the brand new episode of ✨Contrast & Clarity✨ now! #Radres #Radiology #Radtwitter #Medtwitter @andykmoriarity @JACRJournal

Radiology is consolidating. Bigger groups. Hospital employment. Private equity. Shrinking reimbursement. AI. Is scale the threat…or the survival strategy? 🎙️ NEW Contrast & Clarity with Andy Moriarity, MD, MBA & David Rosman, MD, MBA.

What if the secret to whole-body MRI’s popularity isn’t just the scan—it’s the SPA-LIKE experience? 🧖 Celebrity endorsements, distrust of traditional medicine, and a reactive healthcare system all play a role. But these companies also make patients feel like valued customers. 🎧 Dr. Matt Davenport on why patients are drawn to whole-body MRI—and what traditional medicine can learn from the service industry. #medtwitter #radtwitter #radres #radiology @DavenportMatt @UMichRadiology

A 99% negative predictive value sounds pretty reassuring. But what if that number has more to do with how healthy your patients are than how good your test is? 🤔 Dr. Matt Davenport explains the pretest probability paradox—and the gap between what patients expect from whole-body MRI screening and what the evidence supports. Listen to the whole episode wherever you get your podcasts! #radres #radiology #radtwitter @DavenportMatt @UMichRadiology

Cancer is a BIG bag of very different diseases. A slow-growing prostate cancer ≠ an aggressive pancreatic cancer. So why do we lump them together when reporting cancer detection rates on whole body MRI? 🎧 Dr. Matt Davenport challenges one of the biggest assumptions in cancer screening. @DavenportMatt @UMichRadiology #radres #radiology #medtwitter #MRI

We don’t recommend screening just because a test can find cancer. We recommend it because evidence shows it improves patient outcomes. Dr. Matt Davenport explains why established screening programs have earned their place—and why whole-body MRI hasn’t met that evidentiary bar. 🎥 Watch! #Radres #Radiology #Radtwitte #Medtwitter @DavenportMatt @UMichRadiology

100,000 patients. No randomized control group. And the results? They will find things. We already know that. Dr. Matt Davenport explains why bigger observational studies won’t answer the question that matters—and why companies have little incentive to run the trial that could. 🎧 Take a listen to the full episode! @DavenportMatt @UMichRadiology #radres #radiology #radtwitter #medtwitter

The MRI company collects the cash. 💰 But who pays for everything that comes AFTER the scan? Incidental findings → physician visits → more imaging → biopsies. Dr. Matt Davenport explains how the costs of cash-pay screening can quietly shift to insurers—and everyone sharing the bill. 🎧 Take a listen! #Radres #Radiology #MRI #Medtwitter @DavenportMatt @UMichRadiology

🚨 Buyer beware: Just because a screening test CAN find cancer doesn’t mean it SHOULD be used to screen everyone. Whole-body MRI is an appealing proposition—but the evidence is far more complicated than the sales pitch. 🎙️Dr. Matt Davenport on why physicians must communicate the uncertainty, not just the promise. #Radres #Radiology #medtwitter @DavenportMatt @UMichRadiology

We know whole-body MRI can detect things. But how often does that detection improve lives? And how often does it trigger unnecessary interventions or harm? Dr. Matt Davenport explains why we still can’t reliably quantify either side of the equation. 🎧 Listen to the full episode now! #radtwitter #Medtwitter #Radiology #Radres #MRI @DavenportMatt @UMichRadiology

We know whole-body MRI can find things. But what happens AFTER we find them? 🤔 Dr. Matt Davenport raises 3 questions we still can’t adequately answer: 🔹 What are the benefits? 🔹 What are the harms? 🔹 Why should society foot the bill for downstream workups from a cash-pay screening test with unproven benefit? 🎧 Watch the clip, then listen to the full episode! #Radres #Radiology #Radtwitter #Medtwitter

We can scan the whole body with MRI. But should we? Whole-body MRI is booming—and Dr. Matt Davenport joins us to ask whether the evidence has caught up with the hype. 🎧 Listen to the new Contrast & Clarity with the @JACRJournal and get your FREE CME now! shorturl.at/09xp4 #Radres #Radiology #Medtwitter @DavenportMatt @UMichRadiology
