Inconsistent AI: Deep learning models for breast cancer fail to deliver after closer inspection

Numerous deep learning models can detect and classify imaging findings with a performance that rivals human radiologists. However, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology, many of these AI models aren’t nearly as impressive when applied to external data sets.

Updated compensation data includes good news for multiple subspecialties. The new report also examines private equity's impact on employment models and how much male cardiologists earn compared to females.

When drugs are on the FDA’s shortage list, outsourcing facilities can produce their own compounded versions. When the FDA removed tirzepatide from that list with no warning, it created a considerable amount of chaos both behind the scenes and in pharmacies all over the country. 

If passed, this bill would help clinician-led clinical registries explore Medicare data for research purposes. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons and American College of Cardiology both shared public support for the bipartisan legislation.
