Why Do Academic Radiologists Choose Mentors?

The English word “mentor” is derived from Homer’s epic The Odyssey . The protagonist, Odysseus, entrusts his son Telemachus to the care of his close friend Mentor. Mentor played the roles of caregi...

Weekly Dose Reports

Rationale and Objectives Numerous protocols have been developed to reduce cardiac computed tomography angiography (cCTA) radiation dose while maintaining image quality. However, cCTA practice is h...

Using Informatics-Enabled Quality Improvement Techniques to Meet Health Record Documentation Requirements in Radiology Reports

Purpose Medicare requires documented teaching physician involvement (attestation) in trainee-generated radiology reports. Automated attestation statement insertion in reports expedites the process...

Three-dimensional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Using Single Breath-hold k-t BLAST for Assessment of Global Left Ventricular Functional Parameters

Objectives To determine the accuracy of three-dimensional k-t broad-use linear acquisition speed-up technique (k-t BLAST) accelerated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the assessment of left ve...

The World of Computers

These essays, my radiology history books, my other regular columns, and even my letters to friends and neighbors are written on computers, mostly MACS, and some other types. In some of my efforts, ...

Quantitative Iodine-Based Material Decomposition Images with Spectral CT Imaging for Differentiating Prostatic Carcinoma from Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Rationale and Objectives To investigate the value of iodine-based material decomposition images produced via spectral computed tomography (CT) in differentiating prostate cancer (PCa) from benign ...

Quantitative Analysis of Coronary Plaque Composition by Dual-Source CT in Patients with Acute Non–ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Compared to Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease Correlated with Virtual Histology Intravascular Ultrasound

Rationale and Objectives To quantitatively assess coronary atherosclerotic plaque composition in patients with acute non–ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and patients with stable corona...

Pulmonary Embolism Teaching File

Rationale and Objectives Chest radiographs can be demanding, making this an area of focus during most first-year resident chest rotations. This often comes at a cost of cross-sectional imaging, an...

Pressure Wire Assessment of Hemodynamic Alterations after Chemoembolization of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Rationale and Objectives The end point of chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma is qualitative. We intended to determine the feasibility of measuring intra-arterial pressure changes after...
