Keeping Up with the Radiologists -- Episode 14: History of radiology Part 2

In this episode, Mitchell Schnall, MD, PhD, with co-host Saurabh (Harry) Jha, MD, takes listeners back to when radiologists spent a lot of their time doing procedures to get images -- myelograms, GI studies, and all sorts of fluoroscopy, that have largely been replaced by high-fidelity, 3D high-contrast imaging between modern CT and modern MR.
In 2024, Schnall was appointed to the newly created role of senior vice president for data and technology solutions at the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS). Schnall's promotion followed two terms as chair of radiology in Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine.
He now spearheads the health system’s efforts to understand new tools and approaches and determine how best to implement them across UPHS to improve the provider experience, boost health outcomes for patients, and drive efficiency across the health system.
His career is one people are told often they can't have.
