Episode 14: Benchmarking Pancreas Segmentation on CT
Radiology Advances Podcast | RSNA
This episode explores a study from Radiology Advances tackling one of AI’s toughest challenges in medical imaging: consistent pancreas segmentation across CT scans. The authors benchmarked multiple models against multi-reader human consensus and introduced a new metric, Fractional Threshold (FT), to measure robustness. Their human-in-the-loop workflow flagged just 5% of cases for expert review, matching human reliability while cutting annotation time 23-fold.

Episode 13: Making Ultrasound Elastography More Reliable
Radiology Advances Podcast | RSNA
This episode explores a study from Radiology Advances challenging FDA's acoustic output limits for liver ultrasound elastography for obese patients. The authors tested the exam at a mechanical index of 2.5, well above the 1.9 regulatory ceiling, and found no liver injury using stringent biochemical criteria. The payoff: a 29.2% reduction in measurement variability and 40% fewer failed attempts in obese participants, potentially transforming metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease screening in the population that needs it most.
