Paul Lauterbur put this up in our lab in 1996, original writing in red ink. Take heart, people, even the paper describing MRI was first rejected. Also, moving is hard, but digging up these gems from the past is beautiful. @NeuroDx @MRInicole #MRI #ISMRM

Implementation of AI assistance for screening mammography did not improve real-world performance of radiologists

Can #MRI reliably diagnose meniscal tears? New @Radiology_RSNA systematic review & meta-analysis suggests the answer is more nuanced: 👉 It’s not just the MRI—it’s how we define a tear. 👇 #RadInTraining #Tweetorial @RITEditor @VChernyakMD @RadiologyEditor @SuhnyAbbara

Excited for the upcoming May Grand Rounds with @UMichRadiology. Grateful to our speakers and leadership for advancing #radiology education globally: @MRIvikas Dr. Patel @aslam_anum Dr. Ibrahim @mkbrigido @TaysonLin Dr. Attili Looking forward to our first session tomorrow.

The Ivory Tower Paradox: When Tertiary Care Meets the Frontlines At the recent academic conference, one of my residents presented our work from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College, Jabalpur. During the discussion, an important question was raised: “How can you call yours a low-resource setting when it is a tertiary health center?” It’s a question that cuts to the heart of the Ivory Tower Paradox: the assumption that a prestigious title or a large building automatically equals an abundance of resources. The reality tells a different story. A "Tertiary Center" defines our capability. It means we are one of the first government institute in India to perform advancedsurgeries. It means we do research that impacts the lives of our patients and publish in Q1 journals. But "Low-Resource" defines our reality. In public health, a setting is defined by the gap between the needs of the people and the tools at hand. We are an LRS not because we lack talent, but because: The Weight of Millions: We are the final safety net for the tribal belts and rural heartlands of Madhya Pradesh. Our resources aren't stretched; they are thin-filmed across a population larger than many European nations. The Battle Against Time: We don't just fight biology; we fight the 300km journey a patient took to reach us. By the time they arrive at our "Ivory Tower," their disease is often far more advanced than what is seen in high-resource centers. The Innovation Mandate: When we brought high-fidelity simulators from the UK to teach our residents, it wasn't for "prestige." It was a necessity. In an LRS, your skill must be higher because your margin for error is smaller. I told my resident: Calling ourselves "low-resource" isn't an admission of weakness. It is a badge of extraordinary resilience. It means we are delivering internationally endorsed standards to those who have the least. It means we are proving that Health Equity isn't about where you work, it’s about who you refuse to leave behind. Innovation in the Global South isn't just about the latest gadget. It’s about making that gadget work for those who have nothing but hope. That is the Ivory Tower Paradox. And we are breaking it every day. #PublicHealth #HealthEquity #Jabalpur #MedicalEducation #GlobalHealth #Oncosurgery #HealthJustice #NSCBMC #IndiaHealthcare #AcademicMedicine #GlobalSurgery #LowResourceSettings #PublicHealth #SurgicalEducation #Mentorship #ResidentLife #ValueBasedCare #LMIC #MedicalEducation

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Grateful for everyone who worked with us to strengthen #medical #imaging across #Africa this year 🌍. Our work is expanding access and driving research 🩺✨. Wishing you restful holiday season 🎄💫. Here’s to an impactful year ahead! View full report🔗: canva.com/design/DAG4lu9l6Gk…

Although @elonmusk is brilliant, this is wrong. In people at average risk, anxiety from false positives as well as complications from biopsies would almost certainly outweigh the benefits. Happy to discuss further!

The best. Two people I respect immensely
