Improving Care and Education Through a Radiology Resident-driven Clinical Consultation Service

Rationale and Objective As health care moves toward bundled payment systems and merit-based incentive models, increasing awareness of the value of the radiologist is essential. A resident-driven c...

Improved Estimation of Coronary Plaque and Luminal Attenuation Using a Vendor-specific Model-based Iterative Reconstruction Algorithm in Contrast-enhanced CT Coronary Angiography

Rationale and Objectives To investigate the stabilities of plaque attenuation and coronary lumen for different plaque types, stenotic degrees, lumen densities, and reconstruction methods using cor...

High-ability Learners

The biggest mistake of past centuries in teaching has been to treat all students as if they were variants of the same individual and thus to feel justified in teaching them all the same subjects...

Dorsal Muscle Attenuation May Predict Failure to Respond to Interleukin-2 Therapy in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

Rationale and Objectives To explore whether the sarcopenia body type can help predict response to interleukin-2 (IL-2) therapy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Materials and Methods Ins...

Diagnosing Sarcopenia on Thoracic Computed Tomography

Rationale and Objectives This study aims to assess the use of skeletal muscle mass measurements at two thoracic levels to diagnose sarcopenia on computed tomography (CT) chest examinations and to ...

Can Occult Invasive Disease in Ductal Carcinoma In Situ Be Predicted Using Computer-extracted Mammographic Features?

Rationale and Objectives This study aimed to determine whether mammographic features assessed by radiologists and using computer algorithms are prognostic of occult invasive disease for patients s...

Application of Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System Version 2 (PI-RADS v2)

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate interobserver agreement with the use of and the positive predictive value (PPV) of Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADS v2) for the lo...

An Abbreviated Protocol for High-risk Screening Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Rationale and Objectives Annual breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recommended to screen high-risk populations for breast cancer, although costs are significant. This study assesses the pe...

Accuracy of Cyst Versus Solid Diagnosis in the Breast Using Quantitative Transmission (QT) Ultrasound

Rational and Objectives This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic utility of breast imaging using transmission ultrasound. We present readers’ accuracy in determining whether a breast lesion is a...

3 Tesla23 Na Magnetic Resonance Imaging During Acute Kidney Injury

Rationale and Objectives Sodium and proton magnetic resonance imaging ( 23 Na/ 1 H-MRI) have shown that muscle and skin can store Na + without water. In chronic renal failure and in heart failu...
