Our Drs Sacoransky & Adams with Y. Chauhan performed a #meta-analysis of 23 studies evaluating #AI for #CT / #MRI protocoling across 1.19M requisitions. Fine-tuned BERT models led performance (BioBERT 93%), while LLMs showed strong future potential. #radiology #radresearch

15 of the projects discussed with residents at our Spring 2026 "Research Round Tables". Quality research, good discussions, and a preference for black backgrounds with white text on the elevator pitch presentations. #research #radresearch

Mistakes were made. A misquote of a 2022 CARJ article by Drs Leswick, Yang, & Rashidi led to a letter to the editor including a bit of a treasure hunt to find the intended reference and how USMLE scores relate to mistakes/misrepresentations on residency applications. #MedEd

Our Dr Neel Mistry was recently interviewed by the CAR about his paper on #RADres call. Neel expressed his pleasure about being part of the discussion on national call & ways to improve it as well as the surreal feeling of having his paper published in the CARJ. #radiology #meded

Are pelvic fractures post hip replacement common? Study by Dr Obaid & #orthopedic #surgery colleagues found pelvic fractures on #CT in 36% of patients after #arthroplasty w cementless acetabular component. No correlation between clinical risk factors or outcome and pelvic #s.
