Ali Ward: We use some computer aided detection or some form of artificial intelligence now, especially in mammography. But what this talk that I went to today was from these radiologists in Stanford, we're talking about was that they won't replace radiologists necessarily. So these are all just tools, but they are definitely changing the way that we read scans. Do you have to consent to have your images put in that database? I think so.
Hey, kiddo, it's what's INSIDE that matters -- like your guts and bones and squishy brain and intestines and stuff. Meet Dr. Varshana Gurusamy: diagnostic radiology resident, Texan and amazing person with great stories. You'll learn the difference between an MRI and an ultrasound, between a CT scan and a CAT scan and why you should not put big things in orifices that you might not be able to retrieve them unaided. You'll want to hug a radiologist ... as soon as they take their lead gonad shield off.
