Constant grumbling from an attending radiologist about the road ahead may be a sign that his or her best teaching years may be in the rear-view mirror.

In a recent interview, Shadpour Demehri, MD, discussed new research examining connections between deep learning assessment of bone mineral density on chest CT, brain MRI data and the potential for enhanced risk stratification in patients with diabetes.

A deep learning model developed for predicting BI-RADS assessments from dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) breast MRI had over a 14 percent lower AUC than radiologist evaluation in external validation testing.

While better imaging may reduce the need for additional diagnostic tests, it may also eliminate the reimbursement that comes with those additional tests.
