Myth and fact

Common misunderstandings, corrected in a sentence.

MythA radiomics model in a paper can be used on any scanner.
FactPerformance depends on acquisition and processing; external validation on new sites is required. Read the lesson
MythImaging can replace genetic testing.
FactImaging-genomic associations are research findings. Molecular status comes from validated laboratory tests. Read the lesson
MythTheranostics means the scan proves the therapy will work.
FactImaging shows target presence; response depends on many factors decided by the treating team. Read the lesson
MythEffective dose tells you your personal risk.
FactEffective dose is a radiation protection quantity for populations, not an individual risk estimate. Read the lesson
MythA 510(k) cleared scanner was "approved" by the FDA.
FactClearance and approval are different decisions under different standards. Read the lesson
MythMany adverse event reports mean a product is dangerous.
FactReport counts lack denominators and causality assessment; they are signals for investigation. Read the lesson
MythA patent proves a technology works.
FactPatents describe claimed inventions; they say nothing about clinical effectiveness or approval. Read the lesson
MythIf a dataset has CT scans and is part of TCGA, every case has genomic data.
FactLinkage covers a subset of cases and data types vary; check per case. Read the lesson
MythPopular GitHub tools are validated medical software.
FactPopularity is not validation; research code is not a regulated medical device. Read the lesson
MythA higher SUV always means a worse prognosis.
FactSUV depends on technical and physiological factors and needs professional interpretation in context. Read the lesson

How to read a RadioGx label

Every fact in the workspace carries one of these, so you know how much weight it can bear.

Source-reported

The statement is in the source record. RadioGx shows it with the source and retrieval time.

Reference index

Curated RadioGx metadata such as names, aliases, targets and official links. Verify at the official source.

Derived

RadioGx matched names or found terms together. Useful for discovery; read the record before relying on it.

Link-out

RadioGx sends you to the official site. Nothing is copied or summarised.

Education

Original RadioGx explanation. Context, not evidence and not advice.

Community developer reference

Public repositories and models. Not curated knowledge or clinical evidence.

This lesson is general education. It does not interpret anyone’s images, results or treatment, and it is not medical advice. Lessons are written by RadioGx and link to official and public sources for verification.
