Measuring Small Airways in Transverse CT Images

Rationale and Objectives Airway wall dimensions can be determined in vivo using transverse computed tomographic (CT) images, but the measurement of airway phantoms shows that the wall thickness is...

Lateral Chest Radiograph

The lateral chest radiograph is a valuable source of information that has become increasingly undervalued in the era of chest computed tomography. Optimal use of the lateral radiograph requires sys...

Increased Epicardial, Pericardial, and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Is Associated with the Presence and Severity of Coronary Artery Calcium

Rationale and Objectives Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), pericardial adipose tissue (PAT), and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) are mediators of metabolic risk and may be involved in the pathoge...

Estimation of the Ischemic Penumbra Based on CT Perfusion

Rationale and Objectives Ischemic penumbra (IP), the target of thrombolytic therapies, could be estimated by the mismatch region between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diffusion- and perfusion-d...

Effects of Contrast Agent on Water Suppression and Shimming of Kidney Single-Volume Proton MR Spectroscopy at 3.0T

Rationale and Objectives The aim of this study was to determine whether the administration of gadolinium diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (Gd-DTPA) significantly affects shimming and water sup...

Diagnostic Imaging Abdomen, Second Edition

The second edition of Diagnostic Imaging: Abdomen is a comprehensive reference text on abdominal imaging, rich with images and medical illustrations. It follows the newly embraced format of Amirsys...

Detection of Pulmonary Embolism

Rationale and Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT), time-resolved magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) perfusion measurements...

Creating and Enhancing Radiology Student Interest Groups

Student interest groups are an important forum in which medical students learn about and develop interest in different medical specialties. To attract top students to radiology and promote understa...

An Interactive Web-Based Tool for Detecting Verification (Work-up) Bias in Studies of the Efficacy of Diagnostic Imaging

Rationale and Objectives Diagnostic tests are validated by comparison against a “gold standard” reference test. When the reference test is invasive or expensive, it may not be applied to all patie...

A Text-to-Speech Converter for Radiology Journal Articles

Radiology articles are primarily designed to be read on paper or a screen. Audio versions let users hear this material during activities when reading is not practical. Currently, there are relative...
