Philosopher Dr. Diana Hsieh recently interviewed me about "Radiology in Practice" on her live internet radio show,
Philosophy in Action. You can listen to or download the podcast any time. You'll find the podcast on
the episode's archive page, as well as below.
About the Interview:
Most people have seen cool medical imaging devices such as CT and MRI scanners on TV shows. But what do those machines really do? Advanced medical imaging has revolutionized patient care in the past 25 years, allowing doctors to make diagnoses more accurately, quickly, and safely than ever before. Radiologist Dr. Paul Hsieh discussed the basics of modern radiology (x-rays, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine), how these different tests work, what they show about the human body, and how they help doctors take better care of patients.
