AI Article Synopsis

  • A 3-week AI workshop was created for radiology residents, incorporating lectures, case studies, and programming examples into their existing training curriculum.
  • The workshop aimed to enhance foundational understanding of AI concepts rather than technical skills, using pre- and post-surveys to assess confidence levels.
  • Results showed that participation significantly increased residents' confidence in AI knowledge, with a high percentage agreeing that the workshop improved their understanding of AI concepts.

Article Abstract

Purpose: To develop, implement, and evaluate feedback for an artificial intelligence (AI) workshop for radiology residents that has been designed as a condensed introduction of AI fundamentals suitable for integration into an existing residency curriculum.

Materials And Methods: A 3-week AI workshop was designed by radiology faculty, residents, and AI engineers. The workshop was integrated into curricular academic half-days of a competency-based medical education radiology training program. The workshop consisted of live didactic lectures, literature case studies, and programming examples for consolidation. Learning objectives and content were developed for foundational literacy rather than technical proficiency. Identical prospective surveys were conducted before and after the workshop to gauge the participants' confidence in understanding AI concepts on a five-point Likert scale. Results were analyzed with descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon rank sum tests to evaluate differences.

Results: Twelve residents participated in the workshop, with 11 completing the survey. An average score of 4.0 ± 0.7 (SD), indicating agreement, was observed when asking residents if the workshop improved AI knowledge. Confidence in understanding AI concepts increased following the workshop for 16 of 18 (89%) comprehension questions ( value range: .001 to .04 for questions with increased confidence).

Conclusion: An introductory AI workshop was developed and delivered to radiology residents. The workshop provided a condensed introduction to foundational AI concepts, developed positive perception, and improved confidence in AI topics.

Iatrogenic intracranial hypotension is a known complication of spinal anesthesia that can lead to more severe conditions, such as dural or cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). This report presents a case of intracranial hypotension in a young woman after lumbar anesthesia for a cesarean section that was complicated by CVST and subsequently by lobar hemorrhage, clinically presenting with severe headache and seizures. The diagnosis was made via cerebral magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and the patient was treated medically.

Introduction: While diagnosis rates of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) vary within countries at a large-scale municipal level, small neighbourhood geographic variation remains understudied. In this nationwide study, we describe the rates of ASD and ADHD diagnoses in children and adults by geographical data zones of approximately 2,500 residents across Denmark.

Methods: We included a population of children born from 1993 through 2020 and an adult population born from 1977 through 2003.
