Prevalence of Health-Related Social Needs and Associated Missed Imaging Appointments Among Cancer Patients
Health-related social needs (HRSNs) lead to health disparities, and impact cancer care, but their link with missed imaging appointments in cancer patients is unclear. We assessed HRSNs screening rate, HRSNs prevalence, and their association with missed imaging appointments among patients with cancer.

Large Language Models for Global Health Clinics: Opportunities and Challenges
Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as a new wave of artificial intelligence and their applications could emerge as a pivotal resource capable of reshaping healthcare communication, research, and informed decision-making processes. These models offer unprecedented potential to swiftly disseminate critical health information and transcend linguistic barriers. However, their integration into healthcare systems presents formidable challenges, including inherent biases in training data, privac…

The Value of Radiology Consultation: Effort Allocation, Clinical Impact, and Untapped Opportunities
A substantial proportion of work in radiology involves activities beyond the primary interpretation of imaging. In this review, we discuss the current state of consultative work in radiology and evaluate potential strategies for more equitable reimbursement of these activities. “Non-interpretive” or “consultative” activities may constitute 35-60% of workhours. These activities routinely impact patient care; for example, changes in management are seen with 3-9% of radiologist-protocoled exams, 8-…
