Assessment of Follow-up Completeness and Notification Preferences for Imaging Findings of Possible Cancer

Rationale and Objectives To understand the reasons leading to potentially inappropriate management of imaging findings concerning for malignancy and identify optimal methods for communicating thes...

Added Value of Integrated Circuit Detector in Head CT

Rationale and Objectives A new computed tomography (CT) detector with integrated electric components and shorter conducting pathways has recently been introduced to decrease system inherent electr...

“EcoRadiology”—Pulling the Plug on Wasted Energy in the Radiology Department

Rationale and Objectives We sought to evaluate the power consumption of various devices around the radiology department, audit our use of recycling, and review efforts by vendors to reduce the env...

Usefulness of Coronal Reconstruction CT Images for Quantitative Evaluation of the Cross-Sectional Area of Small Pulmonary Vessels

Rationale and Objectives Cross-sectional area <5 mm 2 (CSA<5) is a computed tomography (CT) metric that has been used for the evaluation of pulmonary vessel alterations and perfusion. CSA&l...

Use of Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography for Intramammary Cancer Staging

Rationale and Objectives To prospectively evaluate and compare the accuracy of contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) and ultrasound (US) in size measurement of breast cancer with histologi...

Testing for Interchangeability of Imaging Tests

Rationale and Objectives New tests are typically assessed by estimating their technical and diagnostic performance through comparisons with a reference standard. A valid reference standard, howeve...

Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Rationale and Objectives Current clinical practice favors imaging rather than biopsy to diagnose hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). There is a need to better understand tumor biology and aggressivene...

Retrograde Transplantar Arch Angioplasty of Below-the-Knee Arterial Occlusions

Rationale and Objectives To compare the clinical outcomes of retrograde transplantar arch angioplasty and conventional below-the-knee (BTK) anterograde recanalization. Materials and Methods One ...

Resident Experience Increases Diagnostic Rate of Thyroid Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsies

Rationale and Objectives The aim of this study was to determine whether the diagnostic yield of thyroid fine-needle aspirations (FNAs) changes over the course of residency training. Materials and...

Quantitative Determination of Liver Triglyceride Levels with 3T1 H-MR Spectroscopy in Mice with Moderately Elevated Liver Fat Content

Rationale and Objectives To diagnose hepatic steatosis with noninvasive magnetic resonance (MR)–based measurements, threshold values of liver fat percentages are used. However, these differ betwee...
