Dear AuntMinnie Member,
Despite lingering concern that fears over artificial intelligence (AI) technology may lead medical students to eschew radiology, interest in the specialty remains high, if the 2023 Main Residency Match is any indication.
Even with an increase in available positions, all diagnostic radiology and interventional residency positions were filled on Match Day, March 17. Read our full report in our Imaging Leaders Community.
Family history and breast density
Meanwhile, the most highly read story on AuntMinnie.com this week reported on research that suggests premenopausal women with a family history of breast cancer have a higher chance of having dense breasts. What's more, the investigators also observed a trend toward increasing density over time.
Speaking of breast density, radiologists should be more active in providing objective and understandable information to women about the implications of dense breasts and the value of other screening methods, according to breast imaging expert Dr. Christiane Kuhl.
But those weren't the only two recent articles in our Women's Imaging Community generating substantial interest. Our coverage of a new MR imaging tool that can create 3D images and maps of contractions during labor also featured in our top 10 articles of the week.
Impact of Silicon Valley Bank failure
The collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank on March 10 sent shockwaves through the health technology industry. How will the new banking environment affect radiology AI startups? Visit our Artificial Intelligence Community to learn more.
