What is it really like to become a radiologist?

In this episode of The Joys of Radiology, Dr. Gautam Agrawal sits down with three Johns Hopkins radiology residents, Dr. Selin Ocal, Dr. Molly Pasque, and Dr. Shefali Jain, for an honest conversation about training, mentorship, AI, and the moments that make radiology so rewarding.

They share how they first discovered radiology, the misconceptions they had before residency, and why the specialty is far more collaborative, social, and subjective than many people realize. They also discuss how confidence develops one case at a time, the role of case-based learning and oral boards, and why mistakes can become some of the most memorable learning experiences.

The conversation also explores what AI could mean for the future of radiology, how radiologists can remain visible and valuable as clinical consultants, and the patient cases that reminded each resident why their work matters.

Whether you are a medical student considering radiology, a resident navigating training, or an experienced radiologist reflecting on your own career, this episode offers a thoughtful look at the joy, growth, and responsibility that come with learning to see what others cannot.

In this episode of The Radiology Report Podcast, Daniel Arnold sits down with Ohad Arazi, incoming CEO of Subtle Medical, to discuss the future of AI in medical imaging, the challenges facing radiology workflows, and the leadership lessons he's learned from more than 20 years in healthcare technology.

From the early days of PACS to today's AI-driven imaging ecosystem, Ohad shares why some of the biggest opportunities in radiology may exist before an image ever reaches the radiologist. The conversation explores MRI acceleration, workflow optimization, imaging operations, startup leadership, and how healthcare organizations can unlock greater efficiency, image quality, and patient outcomes through innovation.

Whether you're a radiologist, imaging leader, healthcare executive, or technology innovator, this episode offers a unique perspective on where radiology is headed next.

In this episode of The Joys of Radiology, host Dr. Gautam Agarwal sits down with Dr. Erin Gomez, Assistant Professor of Radiology and Program Director of Diagnostic and Molecular Imaging Residencies at Johns Hopkins, for a conversation about building a meaningful life and career in medicine.

Before becoming an award-winning radiologist and educator, Dr. Gomez was an engineering student working with NASA contractors at the Kennedy Space Center. What followed was an unexpected journey into radiology, where she discovered a passion for imaging, education, mentorship, and leadership.

Together, they explore what brings joy to radiology, how great educators inspire the next generation of physicians, the evolving role of AI in radiology education, and the importance of creating a sustainable career without sacrificing the things that matter most outside of medicine.

From teaching anatomy and mentoring residents to balancing academic medicine with family life, Dr. Gomez shares thoughtful insights on finding purpose, embracing growth, and leading with empathy. Most importantly, she leaves listeners with a simple but powerful piece of advice:

"Run toward fear."
