Radiology Rewired

RapidAI

Radiology Rewired explores the transformation of modern medical imaging and highlights the voices who are living and leading that change. Hosted by Vivek Singh, MD, Neuroradiologist, MUSC, the podcast features meaningful conversations with radiologists, innovators, and healthcare executives examining how clinical practice, technology, and workflow are being rewired to meet rising clinical demands This is where imaging’s next chapter takes shape.

    The AI Ripple | Radiology Rewired

    In this episode of Radiology Rewired, Dr. Vivek Singh sits down with Dr. Samir Kumar, chief medical officer and former nephrologist, to explore why clinical AI succeeds in some health systems and fails to deliver value in others. The conversation takes a system-level view of AI adoption, examining how leadership alignment, cross-specialty integration, and measurable return on investment determine whether AI meaningfully improves care or quietly stalls. Dr. Kumar shares the administrative perspective on evaluating clinical AI tools, including why many solutions demonstrate efficiency gains but never translate into sustained impact. They also discuss how poorly integrated AI can increase cognitive burden for clinicians, while thoughtfully implemented systems can reduce mental strain, support earlier decision-making, and improve coordination across care teams without undermining clinical judgment. This episode offers practical insight for physicians, health system leaders, and anyone involved in healthcare AI adoption.

    The Future Workforce | Radiology Rewired

    Radiology remains one of the most essential specialties in modern medicine, yet many medical students and residents still hear the same warning: “AI is coming for radiologists.” That perception is shaping career decisions, training experiences, and how the next generation approaches image interpretation. In episode 3 of Radiology Rewired, Dr. Vivek Singh is joined by neuroradiologists Dr. Dhairya Lakhani and Dr. Vivek Yedavalli to discuss how AI is already influencing radiology training and why the real risk is not automation, but how future radiologists are taught to work with AI. The conversation focuses on trainees and early-career radiologists. The group explores how poorly designed AI can increase cognitive burden, encourage cognitive offloading, and weaken independent clinical reasoning if it is introduced without guardrails. They also discuss how AI can support learning when it provides context early, reinforces pattern recognition, and helps trainees focus on what matters most. This episode offers a clinician-led perspective on how residency programs, departments, and health systems can adopt AI in ways that strengthen training, protect clinical judgment, and build a more sustainable radiology workforce. Chapters 00:00 – Introduction: why students still worry about AI 01:30 – Imaging demand, burnout, and training pressure 03:45 – How AI narratives affect the radiology pipeline 06:10 – Cognitive burden and cognitive offloading in trainees 09:00 – Using AI to support learning without replacing judgment 11:45 – Workflow design and training-first systems 14:30 – What residents need to graduate confident and independent 17:30 – Preparing the next generation of radiologists Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify Read the full episode recap on the RapidAI blog: (enter blog URL here)
