Episode notes
Molecular Shift Limits Imaging's Diagnostic Reach
- The WHO CNS tumour classification is shifting from histology to molecular diagnostics, reducing the direct diagnostic role of imaging.
- Radiology remains vital for detection, postoperative assessment and spotting imaging–pathology discrepancies worth rechecking molecular tests.
State Certainty Clearly In Reports
- Be precise in conclusions and explicitly convey your diagnostic certainty rather than using vague adjectives.
- Capture certainty levels to help clinicians weigh findings and guide management decisions.
Ask For A One‑Line Clinical Summary
- When reading stroke CTAs, get a one-line clinical summary from the neurologist to focus localization and vessel-level search.
- Use that focused information to raise or lower pretest probability for large vessel occlusion and guide your search.
