How to Choose a Research Question That Survives Reality
A good research idea is not always a good research question. Bruno Hochhegger, MD, PhD, speaks with host Amit Gupta, MD, about choosing research questions that are clinically relevant, feasible, and worth pursuing in real-world settings. Listen to their discussion in episode 1 of The Early Career Researcher's Playbook, an AJR Podcast Series. Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/AJR.26.35586 *Key Takeaways Defining Clinical Relevance: A strong research question must answer a direct patient management issue, such as determining if a nodule is benign or malignant. The Feasibility and Sustainability Matrix: Moving from simple case reports to professional science requires navigating EMRs, securing IRB authorizations, and finding reliable grant funding. The AI Implementation Trap: While building artificial intelligence models on GitHub has become more accessible, adequately validating these tools for real-world clinical practice remains a massive, frequently underestimated hurdle. Multidisciplinary Research Networks: True feasibility requires nonmedical input; successful projects demand early feedback from IT departments, technologists, and referring surgeons to ensure workflows survive reality. *Key Moments 00:00 Intro and Welcome 01:18 The Importance of Small Steps: Lessons from a Failed MRI Lung Cancer Screening Trial. 04:30 Defining Clinical Relevance and the Crucial Role of the Physician-Researcher. 07:47 Assessing Feasibility: Navigating EMRs, IRB Approvals, and Data Access. 08:45 Research Sustainability: Securing Grants and Transitioning from Voluntary to Professional Science. 10:50 The AI Feasibility Trap: Why Validating Models is Harder Than Coding on GitHub. 16:08 Identifying the Key Indication: Solving Direct Patient Management Questions. 21:51 Beyond Mentorship: Building a Network Across IT, Technologists, and Referring Clinicians. 28:51 Establishing Niche Expertise: Strategic Advice for Radiology Residents and Fellows Follow AJR on Social Media LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/ajr-radiology/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfFAYezkLMxJGMgIJLN0Dpg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajr_radiology/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ajr_radiology X: https://x.com/AJR_Radiology BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/ajrradiology.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.com/@ajr_radiology *These portions of the page were generated using artificial intelligence (Google Gemini) and then reviewed for accuracy.

Feedback: What Does It Look Like, and What Should It Look Like?
Behind every polished CV is a story rarely told aloud. We ask questions trainees and radiologists hesitate to voice—about doubt, ambition, balance, identity, and success—while exploring human interactions that shape careers, often recognized in hindsight. Former program director Glenn Gaviola, MD, speaks with cohosts Winnie Hahn, MD, and Elizabeth Hecht, MD, about feedback challenges and strategies. Listen to their discussion in episode 1 of Mentorship Unfiltered, an AJR Podcast Series.
