Скачать или смотреть Introduction to Radiology with Costa Raptis, MD

On this episode of Oncology Unscripted, patient advocates Julie Johnson and Katie Coleman and radiation oncologist Dr. Matt Spraker host radiologist Dr. Costa Raptis, MD.

We start by discussing the process of acquiring and interpreting radiographic images. What happens after you get your scan, and how do radiologists read them and generate reports?

Also, how can patients know they are getting the right type of scan? We review some details of CT, MRI, and PET/CT scans.

Then we discuss an essential question: "What is normal?". How do radiologists measure lesions or tumors, and how is this done consistently across time? Are other physicians trained to read images like radiologists?

We also ask Dr. Costa about AI, the future of radiology, and we discuss how radiologists get excited when patients have exceptional responses.
