Today in the BackTable MSK Studio: We take a deep dive into the history of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, exploring early research controversies and the challenges that threatened their existence. Our host, Dr. Jacob Fleming, MD, is joined in the studio by interventional neuroradiologist Dr. Joshua Hirsch, who was in San Diego for the American Society of Spine Radiology 2025 meeting. Dr. Hirsch is the Chief of the Interventional Spine Service at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Hirsch begins by outlining the historical origins of radiologists using cement injection and how this practice evolved into vertebroplasty. He then highlights early research on the procedure, focusing on key 2009 NEJM papers that sparked both scientific and public controversy, leading to setbacks in research and disparities in access to life-changing care. Since that time, newer studies have demonstrated the clear benefits of spinal augmentation for patients with vertebral insufficiency fractures, including Dr. Hirsch’s own research showing a mortality benefit compared to nonsurgical treatment. Overall, the doctors discuss how far this field has advanced and the exciting developments currently in progress.

Today on BackTable Vascular and Interventional & BackTable Industry: Teleradiology, artificial intelligence, and private equity takeovers— How can we navigate these rapid changes in the radiology landscape? In this episode, our co-hosts Dr. Ally Baheti and Dr. J. Michael Barraza Jr. bring Dr. Ben White back to the show to provide an update on the current radiology job market and share his insights on reclaiming value for the profession. Dr. White begins by reflecting on the changes since his last conversation with us in 2022, focusing primarily on the ongoing shortage of radiologists, which has lasted longer than anticipated during the pandemic, and the explosion of teleradiology. Dr. White highlights his Independent Radiology job board, which lists open positions from physician-owned practices. His goal in creating the website is to address the pain points of other job advertisement sites, where misleading postings are common. He wants radiologists to consider joining a team of physicians, rather than simply accepting a job.

Are you seeking to build your reputation and patient base within interventional oncology (IO)? In this episode, host Dr. Zachary Berman interviews Drs. Sid Padia, Tyler Sandow, Venkatesh Krishnasamy, and Kevin Burns about their journeys into IO and their experiences providing care in different practice settings. The doctors begin by discussing how they became interested in interventional oncology, with most of them recognizing opportunities to address unmet needs in the field. Each guest shares insights on the timelines and challenges involved in starting their IO practices, which vary significantly today. The panel also emphasizes how increased clinic availability can significantly drive growth in procedural volume. Finally, they offer advice for starting an IO practice, including the importance of having clinic support staff, building strong relationships with referring physicians, and staying up to date with new technologies.
