Welcome to "Contrast & Clarity with the JACR," where we dive into the latest trends in the world of radiology. Join hosts Maddi Wulfeck and Jeff Waltz as they discuss current radiology topics and innovations that are shaping the future of healthcare. Topics will span the hottest trends in radiology such as artificial intelligence, expert perspectives, and what the future holds for the field.
Whether you're a seasoned radiologist, resident, medical student, or simply curious about the field, this podcast sets the stage for an exciting journey into the world of medical imaging.
October's JACR is serving up some big questions.
This month's JACR is packed with provocative questions, surprising findings, and a few uncomfortable truths.
Here's a sneak peek:
🤖 AI: Are we measuring accuracy when we should be measuring patient benefit?
💻 Vibe coding: Is AI redefining what it means to be an expert?
🩻 Imaging utilization: Does who reads the scan influence how often scans get ordered?
🎓 Workforce: Are we training enough radiologists for the future?
🔄 Specialization: Can becoming an expert actually limit your career options?
⚖️ Ethics: Are we teaching radiologists how to navigate the decisions that matter most?
Join me for the October Contrast & Clarity TLDR, where we skip the academic jargon and get straight to the interesting stuff.

57. The Great Consolidation *Free CME Available*
Radiology is consolidating. The question isn't whether it's happening - it's who will control what comes next.
Andy Moriarity, MD, MBA and David Rosman, MD, MBA join Maddi to unpack what "getting bigger" actually means for radiologists. From private practice and hospital employment to private equity, declining reimbursement, culture, autonomy, and the growing pressure of AI, we ask whether scale is the problem - or part of the solution.
Getting bigger doesn't necessarily mean getting better. But in modern radiology, staying small may be getting a whole lot harder.

56. Whole-Body MRI, Revisited: What Have We Actually Learned? *CME*
Whole-body MRI promises to find disease before it finds you - but does finding more actually mean living longer or better?
Matthew Davenport, MD, MBA, FSABI, FSAR, FACR joins Maddi to revisit the evidence (or lack thereof) behind whole-body MRI screening, from cancer detection and incidental findings to over diagnosis and increased downstream costs. He also addresses the question that matters most: What evidence would actually prove that screening improves health?
Because detecting disease is one thing. Proving that detection helps patients is another.
