Review of Ophthalmology’s Post

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. Endometriosis is one of the most common gynaecological diseases affecting 5-10% of women between 15-45 years and more than 176 million women globally. While interventional radiology offers promising alternative treatments, challenges persist regarding accessibility, costs, and the scarcity of high-quality randomized controlled trials. This highlights the ongoing efforts of IRs to address these issues.

Since 2010, 459 unique authors have contributed to 30 clinical practice consensus statements on management of steatotic liver disease. Only two were radiologists and NO RADIOLOGY SOCIETY PARTICIPATED. In this pictorial review we discuss the latest insights into MASLD, and current qualitative and quantitative imaging methods for its assessment. We describe 6 unsolved challenges which represent opportunities for radiologists to contribute! And eventually, we call on the entire house of radiology to take action, demand a seat at the table, and advance the development, dissemination, and accessibility of the technologies to improve MASLD assessment & care. https://lnkd.in/gKxMir92 https://lnkd.in/gKG9QauD

In this RSNA article, the authors "discuss current qualitative and quantitative imaging methods for assessing and monitoring MASLD".

Understanding Transnasal Esophagoscopy (TNE) with Michael Underbrink, MD We're excited to share insights on Transnasal Esophagoscopy (TNE), a minimally invasive procedure performed by Dr. Michael P. Underbrink, a Laryngologist at the Houston Voice Center. TNE allows for a detailed examination of the esophagus using a thin, flexible scope inserted through the nose. This procedure is not only more comfortable for patients but also provides real-time results without the need for sedation. Watch the short video below where Dr. Underbrink explains the process, benefits, and what patients can expect during TNE. #Laryngology #TransnasalEsophagoscopy #TNE #PatientCare #HoustonVoiceCenter #MinimallyInvasive Watch the video to learn more! 🎥👇

Watch Dr. Manish Rajput, Consultant in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, as he shares his insights on the prostate gland, its diseases, such as BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), and its advanced treatment options. BPH stands as the most common disease associated with the prostate gland. Statistics reveal its prevalence: affecting 50% of males over 50, 60% over 60, 70% over 70, and a staggering 90–95% over 80. Manifesting with obstructive and irritative symptoms, BPH significantly impacts one's quality of life. Fortunately, both medicinal and surgical interventions exist. Among the most cutting-edge treatments is prostate artery embolisation, renowned for its effectiveness and minimally invasive nature. To explore more about this pioneering treatment, call us now.

As a radiology organization promoting whole-body MRI in preventative health, we understand the concerns raised by peers, especially around incidental findings and the potential for false positives leading to unnecessary follow-ups. However, we believe that with careful patient selection, AI-based pre-scan analysis, and informed discussions, whole-body MRI can offer significant benefits, particularly for patients with potential risk factors. The ability to detect early-stage abnormalities provides an opportunity for proactive health management, potentially altering the course of diseases that are otherwise diagnosed late and cause a high degree of mortality and morbidity. While cost and utility should be balanced, We see whole-body MRI as a complementary tool that, when integrated judiciously, aligns with the goals of personalized and preventative medicine. It’s essential to continue refining protocols to mitigate unnecessary interventions while advancing access to early diagnostic options for those who might benefit most. #wholebodymri #radiology #preventativeradiology #radiology #amriscan #radiologydebates #personalizedradiology #radiologylongevity #preventativehealth #cancerscreening #cancer #stroke #cardiovascularrisk #healthcheck
