Dr. Refky Nicola speaks with Dr. Sven Haller about the current clinical use of AI-accelerated MRI, exploring how these techniques improve scan speed, patient comfort, workflow efficiency, and image quality. They also examine key challenges including hallucinations, validation gaps, economic considerations, and the need for clear standards to guide safe and effective adoption.

This episode reviews recent evidence on microwave and radiofrequency ablation as minimally invasive treatments for primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism, highlighting efficacy, safety, and complication profiles compared with surgery. Focusing on a multicenter prospective Radiology study in older patients, the discussion shows that both ablation techniques achieve meaningful biochemical improvement with acceptable risk, particularly as alternatives for patients who may not be ideal surgical candidates.

Dr. Sid Dogra talks with Dr. Paul Yi about the safe use of large language models and other generative AI tools in radiology, including evolving regulations, data privacy concerns, and bias. They also discuss practical steps departments can take to evaluate vendors, protect patient information, and build a long term culture of responsible AI use.
