Teleradiology, artificial intelligence, and private equity takeovers—how do we navigate these rapid changes in the radiology landscape? In this episode, our co-hosts Dr. Ally Baheti and Dr. Mike Barraza bring Dr. Ben White back to the show to provide an update on the current radiology job market and share his insights on reclaiming value for the profession. Dr. White begins by reflecting on the changes since his last appearance with us in 2022, focusing primarily on the ongoing shortage of radiologists, which has lasted longer than anticipated during the pandemic, and the explosion of teleradiology. --- SYNPOSIS Today’s radiologists are more mobile than ever, with remote work options and the appeal of sensationalized job postings. Dr. White also discusses the instability of more established practices, particularly when legacy partners depart after fulfilling their contractual obligations. In response, many practices are refinancing their debt, which has led to a decrease in practice acquisitions. Dr. White believes that large-scale healthcare operations often result in increased inefficiency and reduced agility. The downstream effects include the commoditization of teleradiologists, concerns about decreased quality of reads, a limited scope of practice for procedures, reduced access to imaging for smaller hospitals, longer wait times, and more unstable locum staffing. The doctors also speculate about the future division of radiology into different service tiers, depending on the level of access each hospital has to radiologists. Finally, Dr. White highlights his Independent Radiology job board, which lists open positions from physician-owned practices. His goal in creating the website is to address the pain points of other job advertisement sites, where misleading postings are common. He wants radiologists to consider joining a team of physicians, rather than simply accepting a job. His advice to all radiologists is to expect uncertainty in the job market and to remain flexible. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Current Radiology Job Market 07:43 - Updates on Private Equity in Radiology 16:26 - Role of Artificial Intelligence 22:46 - Growing Imaging Volume and Efficiency 26:51 - Challenges in Radiology Staffing 36:49 - Independent Radiology Job Board 50:07 - Future of Radiology and Final Thoughts --- RESOURCES BackTable VI Ep. 277- Private Equity and the Radiology Job Environment with Dr. Ben White: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/277/private-equity-the-radiology-job-environment Independent Radiology Job Board: https://www.independentradiology.com/…

Dr. Omar Davis (interventional nephrologist) and Dr. Ari Kramer (general surgeon) join host Dr. Chris Beck to discuss advanced approaches to AV access and share their experiences with the FLEX Vessel Prep device. --- This podcast is supported by: VentureMed FLEX Vessel Prep https://www.venturemedgroup.com/ --- SYNPOSIS The doctors begin by describing how they create dialysis access and what they account for during the procedure. They then focus on the role of the FLEX VP system, its benefits, and how they use it in practice, touching on the latest clinical data. Dr. Kramer and Dr. Davis also stress the importance of mental health in dialysis care and share ways that we can better support our patients through difficult diagnoses and treatments. In fact, one of their patients, Fred Hill, authored the book “Dialysis Is Not Your Life,” which offers a unique perspective for patients feeling overburdened by dialysis, and the healthcare providers who treat them. The episode concludes with case presentations and practical guidance on when to use the FLEX Vessel Prep system. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 07:00 - AV Access and Procedures 10:58 - Case Walkthrough 14:19 - Balloon Angioplasty and IVUS 24:43 - Flex VP Device and Vessel Prep 35:03 - Algorithm and Reimbursement Challenges 39:51 - Device Usage and Techniques 46:58 - Clinical Data and Outcomes 01:01:59 - Case Studies --- RESOURCES Fred Hill, “Dialysis Is Not Your Life” Founder and Author: https://www.dialysisisnotyourlife.com/meet-founder.php “Dialysis Is Not Your Life” Book: https://www.amazon.com/DIALYSIS-NOT-YOUR-LIFE-Redefine/dp/B09L4XGGNX Novel Device Prior to Balloon Angioplasty for Dysfunctional Arteriovenous Access: Analysis of a Real-World Registry by Race and Sex Cohorts: https://www.openaccessjournals.com/articles/novel-device-prior-to-balloon-angioplasty-for-dysfunctional-arteriovenousaccess-analysis-of-a-realworld-registry-by-race-and-sex-16852.html FLEX Vessel Prep 12 Month AV Registry Data and 12 Month Belong PAD Data Shows Benefit to Micro-incisions Before Balloon or DCB Treatment: https://www.venturemedgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/VEITH-Data-FINAL.pdf Angioplasty with novel, easy-to-use, bladed Flex Vessel Prep system “could replace standard of care”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRpkrURx1mc Surgical AVF Articles Atlas Condensed - sAVF Overview - Creation Maturation and Difficulties: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f26FT65s03oZjjeZhBVy8auz0h8PTNvX3CWU5Xi_H5c/edit?usp=share_link Surgical AVF Articles Asif A, Early Arteriovenous fistula failure: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zZEWgxsdBM4MKCQFjw0U04ra_hB9Ey_N/view?usp=share_link Surgical AVF Articles Asif A - Best Vascular Access in the Elderly - Time for Innovation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IpH-KnZyfN5Rqm_kxLnERnEJD6vcjAO8/view?usp=sharing Surgical AVF Articles EV Today - Managing Cephalic Arch Stenosis: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17yVd2M706YCtX-xTK6teesgZqzVIgUoN/view?usp=share_link VentureMed 2024 FLEX Vessel Prep System Reimbursement Guide: https://www.venturemedgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/MMA-CTO-15690_FlexVesselPrepSystem-BillingGuide_Lv6-003.pdf BackTable VI Podcast Episode #139 - AV Fistula & Graft Maintenance with Dr. Ari Kramer: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/139/av-fistula-graft-maintenance BackTable VI Podcast Episode #292 - Dialysis Interventions with Drug-Coated Balloons, Covered Stents and More with Dr. Ari Kramer: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/292/dialysis-interventions-with-drug-coated-balloons-covered-stents-more…

For hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who are not candidates for liver transplant or resection, lesion ablation can be a curative treatment. With multiple ablation options available and still under investigation, it can be challenging to navigate the differences between them. In this episode, Dr. Tyler Sandow hosts a discussion with interventional radiologists Dr. Kirema Garcia-Reyes, Dr. Sabeen Dhand, and Dr. Kevin Burns on the various ablation options for HCC and when to use each one. Physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants can follow this link to earn CME / CE credits for completing an accredited learning activity related to this discussion: https://www.cmeuniversity.com/course/take/125738 --- This podcast is supported by an educational grant from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals and Boston Scientific. --- SYNPOSIS The doctors first discuss Barcelona-Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) Stage A patients, where lesion size and location are key factors in deciding between ablation and transarterial therapies. They then compare cryoablation and microwave ablation, highlighting that cryoablation offers better visualization and control of the ablation zone, while microwave ablation is more effective for treating larger lesions. Dr. Burns introduces histotripsy, a noninvasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to mechanically ablate tumors. He shares his experiences as an early adopter of this technology and discusses how intraoperative cone beam CT can help treat lesions located near critical structures or those poorly visualized on ultrasound. Finally, Dr. Garcia-Reyes and Dr. Berman provide insights into patient selection, pre-procedural imaging, and technical tips for Y90. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 02:04 - Ablation vs Y90 in BCLC A Patients 05:58 - Same-Day Y90 15:55 - Y90 for Large Tumors 17:51 - Ideal Cases for Cryoablation 19:38 - Explanation of Histotripsy 32:09 - Procedural Specifics for Histotripsy 38:21 - Technical Tips for Y90 --- RESOURCES Including the Hollow Viscera (Stomach or Bowel) within the Ice Ball during Cryoablation: A Review of Adverse Events (Abramyan et al, 2024): https://www.jvir.org/article/S1051-0443(24)00681-X/abstract CME Accreditation Information: https://f7cae4ec-b69e-490d-9e0f-19b16a6f146d.usrfiles.com/ugd/f7cae4_a7c37ea3cd1b4d3fa53d5edf8dfe255b.pdf…
