Radiation Safety Knowledge and Perceptions among Residents

Rationale and Objectives To investigate residents’ knowledge of adverse effects of ionizing radiation, frequency of their education on radiation safety, and their use of radioprotective equipment....

Practice Quality Improvement During Residency

Rationale and Objectives Completing a systems-based practice project, equivalent to a practice quality improvement project (PQI), is a residency requirement by the Accreditation Council for Gradua...

Audience Response Techniques for 21st Century Radiology Education

Introduction Audience response system (ARS) provides an excellent tool for improving interactive learning in radiology residents. However, it is not the technology but the pedagogy that matters th...

A Tissue Phantom Model for Training Residents in Ultrasound-guided Liver Biopsy

Rationale and Objectives The apprenticeship model for training of percutaneous liver biopsy has limitations, and costs of commercially available simulation models can be prohibitive. We created an...

24/7/365 In-House Radiologist Coverage

Rationale and Objectives To compare programs with and without 24-hour/7 days a week/365 days a year (24/7/365) in-house radiologist coverage regarding resident perceptions of their on-call experie...

Visualization of Lenticulostriate Arteries at 3T

Rationale and Objectives To optimize visualization of lenticulostriate artery (LSA) by time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) with slice-selective off-resonance sinc (SORS) satu...

Ultra-low-dose CT of the Lung

Rationale and Objectives To compare quality of ultra-low-dose thin-section computed tomography (CT) images of the lung reconstructed using model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) and adaptive ...

Thymic Measurements in Pathologically Proven Normal Thymus and Thymic Hyperplasia

Rationale and Objectives To determine the intraobserver and interobserver variabilities of thymic measurements on computed tomography (CT) in patients with pathologic diagnosis of thymic hyperplas...

The Incidence of Pulmonary Embolism and Associated FDG-PET Findings in IV Contrast-Enhanced PET/CT

Rationale and Objectives Most fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT) studies are performed on cancer patients. These patients are at in...

The Diagnostic and Grading Value of Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Rationale and Objectives In this study, we investigated the diagnostic and grading value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Materials and Methods Of...
