In the latest episode of The Radiology Report, host Daniel Arnold sits down with Dr. Dana Smetherman, CEO of the American College of Radiology (ACR), for an in-depth conversation on leadership, policy, and the future of radiology.

In this powerful episode of The Radiology Report, we sit down with Dr. Lilian Ebuoma, a breast radiologist, U.S. Navy veteran, certified coach, and changemaker, whose mission is saving lives through early detection and equitable care.

As the founder of Lilly Women’s Health and the Lilly Cares Foundation in Nigeria, Dr. Ebuoma is working to close the vast gap in breast cancer outcomes between the U.S. and Africa, where access to screening and early diagnosis is critically limited. With just 300 radiologists serving a population of over 200 million, Nigeria sees more than 30,000 women die annually from late-stage breast cancer, a stark contrast to the 90% survival rate seen in the U.S.

But Dr. Ebuoma is changing that.

In this episode, we cover:

Her journey from Nigeria to the U.S. and from military service to medicine

How she’s leading the charge in expanding access to breast imaging across underserved communities

The cultural and systemic barriers to early detection in Nigeria and how she’s helping overcome them

The inspiration behind her book, Love Your Breasts, Love Yourself

Her passion for coaching and empowering the next generation of healthcare leaders

Dr. Daniel Durand, Chief Medical Officer at Prenuvo, joins The Radiology Report to discuss the rise of proactive whole-body MRI, the data behind early disease detection, and how radiologists can help shape the future of preventive imaging.
