Yes, We Can! Ensuring That our Graduating Resident's Procedural Skills Meet the Needs of Their Patients.
Acad Radiol
December 2024
Department of Radiology, Penn Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA (M.S.).
Objectives: There is a burgeoning discrepancy between the procedural competency of graduating diagnostic radiology residents and the needs of our patient population. The causes of this mismatch and opportunities for improvement are explored by the APDR Procedural Competency of Graduating DR Residents Task Force.
Materials And Methods: The APDR convened a task force consisting of diverse broad stakeholder viewpoints, drawing from organized radiology, academic and private practices.
3D Printing Materials Mimicking Human Tissues after Uptake of Iodinated Contrast Agents for Anthropomorphic Radiology Phantoms.
Biomimetics (Basel)
October 2024
Center for Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, Medical University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria.
(1) Background: 3D printable materials with accurately defined iodine content enable the development and production of radiological phantoms that simulate human tissues, including lesions after contrast administration in medical imaging with X-rays. These phantoms provide accurate, stable and reproducible models with defined iodine concentrations, and 3D printing allows maximum flexibility and minimal development and production time, allowing the simulation of anatomically correct anthropomorphic replication of lesions and the production of calibration and QA standards in a typical medical research facility. (2) Methods: Standard printing resins were doped with an iodine contrast agent and printed using a consumer 3D printer, both (resins and printer) available from major online marketplaces, to produce printed specimens with iodine contents ranging from 0 to 3.

JAMA Netw Open
September 2024
Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia.
Importance: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) eliminated out-of-pocket cost-sharing for recommended preventive care for most privately insured patients. However, patients seeking preventive care continue to face cost-sharing and administrative hurdles, including claim denials, which may exacerbate inequitable access to care.
Objective: To determine whether patient demographics and social determinants of health are associated with denials of insurance claims for preventive care.
Private Equity and Radiology: Productive Partnership or Inherently Misaligned?
Semin Intervent Radiol
October 2023
Division of Interventional Radiology, Stanford University, Stanford, California.
Private equity acquisition of medical groups and health care organizations is becoming increasingly important in medicine and is a trend that is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Some question the ethical implications of private equity acquisitions, since the clear goal of such organizations is maximizing profitability, which may or may not be in the best interests of either the patient population or the provider group. This article will describe the role of private equity in the medical marketplace, with a focus on the role of private equity in radiology and interventional radiology specifically.

Trials
August 2023
Department of Medical Ethics & Health Policy, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Blockley Hall 1427, 423 Guardian Drive, Philadelphia, PA, 19104-4884, USA.
In their recent paper, Al and colleagues (Trials 2023;24:233) argue that manipulation of the methods of recruitment using well-known techniques in order to increase enrollment can be ethically acceptable. This brief response challenges that notion as an affront to voluntariness and a devolution of the ethics of human subjects research to the "ethics" of the marketplace.
