I analyze and interpret MRIs, X-rays, CT scans and ultrasounds to help diagnose all kinds of illnesses, from brain tumors to sprained ankles and everything in between. A lesser known part of my job is to perform image-guided minimally invasive procedures such as biopsies, drainage catheters and others.
I currently work in a publicly funded healthcare system in a small-to-medium sized hospital and have been working here for about a year.
Ask me anything about radiology or healthcare in general! 🙂

Are patients allowed to request a copy of their scans?
Do you think that AI will do more of your work in the future? Is it faster / more accurate?
Could it at least spot the more obvious things or better at the more subtle?
Do you see any concerns with the amount of radiation from the scans? What’s the purpose of the lead if there is not concern?
What percentage of tumors are cancer?
Have you had any patients with acoustic neuroma,and what size are they on average?
when you go through lets say, MRI scan, do you only analyze what was originally requested, lets say only left/right ear? or do you rather go through the entire scan and report issues even if found in different areas?
How often do people “accidentally fall” in random things and need an xray?
