11 Radiology Speech Recognition Bloopers
If only speech recognition understood what radiologists were saying.
Radiologists don’t need a reminder that there are a lot of things wrong with radiology reports.Curtis Langlotz, MD, Ph.D., professor of radiology and medicine at Stanford University Medical Center wrote a book on how to improve the radiology report.The Radiology Report: A Guide to Thoughtful Communication for Radiologists and Other Medical Professionals touches on many of the challenges radiology reports present, including the general disagreement of what actually constitutes a good radiology report. The book offers helpful, actionable advice on creating radiology reports.But it also mentions one of the greatest frustrations of the radiology report: technology. Here, we’ve assembled 11 speech recognition bloopers Langlotz describes in his book. Because if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry.Â
SNMMI: Can 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT Bolster Detection of PCa Recurrence in the Prostate Bed?
June 24th 2025In an ongoing prospective study of patients with biochemical recurrence of PCa and an initial negative PSMA PET/CT, preliminary findings revealed positive 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT scans in over 54 percent of the cohort, according to a recent poster presentation at the SNMMI conference.
Could an Emerging PET Tracer be a Game Changer for Detecting Hepatocellular Carcinoma?
June 23rd 2025In addition to over 90 percent sensitivity in detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the glypican-3 (GPC3) targeted PET tracer 68Ga-aGPC3-scFv appeared to be advantageous in identifying HCC tumors smaller than one centimeter, according to pilot study findings presented at the SNMMI conference.
SNMMI: What a New Meta-Analysis Reveals About Radiotracers for PET/CT Detection of PCa
June 22nd 2025While (68Ga)Ga-PSMA-11 offers a pooled sensitivity rate of 92 percent for prostate cancer, (18F)-based radiotracers may offer enhanced lesion detection as well as improved imaging flexibility, according to a meta-analysis presented at the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) conference.
