System-Based Practice Proposal for a Comprehensive Curriculum

Systems-based practice (SBP) is the sixth competency of the required ACGME core competencies in US-based residency programs. SBP aims to ensure that residents ( ) are aware of a larger context and ...

Radiology at NIH

Those who attended the 2007 meeting of the American Roentgen Ray Society last April may have heard the Caldwell Lecture in which Douglas Maynard described the coalescence of the academic radiology ...

Quantitative Diffusion Tensor Analysis Using Multiple Tensor Ellipsoids Model and Tensor Field Interpolation at Fiber Crossing

Rationale and Objectives In regions of intravoxel fiber crossing, the single-tensor model does not provide accurate results. The previously published models could resolve this issue but needed a l...

Pretest Risk Assessment in Suspected Acute Pulmonary Embolism

Rationale and Objectives To assess the pretest practices of US clinicians who treat patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Materials and Methods We surveyed 855 practicing physicians selec...

Optimization of Cardiac MSCT Contrast Injection Protocols

Rationale and Objectives Our aim was to evaluate the correlation of test bolus (TB) curve parameters with main bolus (MB) contrast density for cardiac 16-slice computed tomography, and to correlat...

Making Preliminary Radiographic Reports Available to Referring Clinicians

Rationale and Objectives To investigate current practice regarding the release of resident’s preliminary imaging reports to physicians providing clinical care to patients. The second objective was...

Lowering the Barriers Inherent in Translating Advances in Neuroimage Analysis to Clinical Research Applications

Rationale and Objectives This article presents an initiative for the translation of advances in neuroimage analysis techniques to clinical research scientists. Our objective is to bridge the gap b...

Hypericin as a Marker for Determination of Tissue Viability After Intratumoral Ethanol Injection in a Murine Liver Tumor Model

Rationale and Objectives In this preclinical proof-of-principle study, the necrosis avid agent hypericin was investigated as a potential early indicator for therapeutic response after ethanol-medi...

Eugene L. Saenger, a great man

Radiology lost one of its great men and many of us lost a good friend with the death of Eugene Saenger of Cincinnati at age 90 on September 30. His contributions, mostly to isotopic medicine, earne...

Diagnostic Value of Contrast-Enhanced Fluid-Attenuated Inversion-Recovery and Delayed Contrast-Enhanced Brain MRI in Multiple Sclerosis

Rationale and Objectives In brain MRI of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, enhancement of the lesions is usually evaluated in early contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images (CE-T1WI). The objective of...
