Radiology Cardiothoracic Imaging Podcast | RSNA – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode of the Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging podcast, Dr. Praveen speaks with Dr. Francisco Calle about the expanding role of social media in scientific communication and professional growth. They discuss how platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and WeChat are transforming visibility, collaboration, and global engagement within the cardiothoracic imaging community.

Dr. Praveen Ranganath speaks with Dr. Maximiliano Klug about his team's development of a denoised ultra low-dose chest CT technique for detecting pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. They explore how AI-based denoising improves diagnostic accuracy while dramatically reducing radiation exposure, offering promising implications for broader clinical use.
