“I don't think people should be taking ... medical advice from me”, said RFK Jr. during his first hearing this morning.
I agree 100%, but since this the case, he should be removed from office by close of business today.

On call, I am reading a malignancy staging CT CAP for a patient that was scanned at St Elsewhere 1 day ago. Not a good way to rein in healthcare costs? 🤔

#HappyBirthday to Dr. Lucy Frank Squire. She was the first woman resident in Mass General's radiology program, and would later write “Fundamentals of Radiology,” a vital resource in the field of medical education that is still used to this day.

The Trump administration’s proposed budget for the 2026 fiscal year would eliminate all federal funding for the program and slash funding for research at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) #radiology #cancerscreening
Komen rails against proposed federal cuts to women's health program

Sad trend indeed. Too bad the current US administration fails to see the value of medical research. 1 step forward, 3 steps back.
Total cancer incidence rates between 2010 and 2019 significantly increased among women ages 40 to 49 #radiology #cancerscreening
Cancer incidence on rise in younger people, women
Early-onset cancer incidence trends are rising among younger people, and women carry more of the burden.

Crazy times we are in.
Academic radiology researchers are trying to understand the coming new normal after a funding shakedown at the U.S. National Institutes of Health #radiology
Financial shock waves strike close to radiology researchers
As of May 6, U.S. institutions have lost almost $2 billion in NIH funding. The academic community responds to whirlwind changes.

Skeletal muscle health is a "vital positive bellwether of overall health," researchers noted, and loss of normal muscle mass can suggest risk of diseases such as cardiovascular, cancer, or diabetes #radiology #sarcopenia #CT
CT muscle metrics could help screen for sarcopenia
Abdominal CT muscle metrics taken from imaging of healthy young people show promise for opportunistic sarcopenia screening.
