Lack of diversity in Radiology is a public health problem and may be self perpetuating as diverse candidates view the field as hostile to their entry and advancement, and consequently do not apply into the field. Solutions require understanding the obstacles, which range from enrollment in medical school to achieving leadership positions in Radiology. An understanding of the effect of demographic data on diversity in Radiology, disparate effects of Step examinations, medical school grades and induction into academic honor societies, and existing faculty disparities will allow us to better recruit, train, and retain a diverse group of physicians in our field. The downstream effect of a diverse workforce is improvement in health outcomes and disparities in medical care for our communities.

Multisensory naturalistic decoding with high-density diffuse optical tomography.
Neurophotonics
January 2025
Washington University School of Medicine, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, St. Louis, Missouri, United States.
Significance: Decoding naturalistic content from brain activity has important neuroscience and clinical implications. Information about visual scenes and intelligible speech has been decoded from cortical activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electrocorticography, but widespread applications are limited by the logistics of these technologies.
Aim: High-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) offers image quality approaching that of fMRI but with the silent, open scanning environment afforded by optical methods, thus opening the door to more naturalistic research and applications.

Artificial Intelligence-Based Detection and Numbering of Dental Implants on Panoramic Radiographs.
Clin Implant Dent Relat Res
February 2025
SEMRUK Technology Inc., Cumhuriyet Teknokent, Sivas, Turkiye.
Objectives: This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based deep learning model for the detection and numbering of dental implants in panoramic radiographs. The novelty of this model lies in its ability to both detect and number implants, offering improvements in clinical decision support for dental implantology.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective dataset of 32 585 panoramic radiographs, collected from patients at Sivas Cumhuriyet University between 2014 and 2024, was utilized.
Developments and clinical experiences in collagenase chemonucleolysis for lumbar disc herniation: a narrative review.
Front Med (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic, Dianjiang People's Hospital of Chongqing, Chongqing, China.
Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) affects millions globally, with annual healthcare costs exceeding $100 billion in the United States alone, driving increasing interest in minimally invasive radiological interventions as treatment alternatives. This narrative review examines developments in collagenase chemonucleolysis for LDH, integrating a literature analysis with clinical experience. Key advancements include the transition from single-agent to combination therapies, exploration of diverse injection routes, and the progression from C-arm fluoroscopy to multi-slice CT guidance.

BMJ Open Respir Res
January 2025
Darwin Respiratory and Sleep Health, Darwin Private Hospital, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.
Background: Globally, adult Indigenous people, including Aboriginal Australians, have a high burden of chronic respiratory disorders, and bronchiectasis is no exception. However, literature detailing bronchiectasis disease characteristics among adult Indigenous people is sparse. This study assessed the clinical profile of bronchiectasis among adult Aboriginal Australians and compared against previously published international bronchiectasis registry reports.
