Variation in Patients' Travel Times among Imaging Examination Types at a Large Academic Health System

Rationale and Objectives Patients’ willingness to travel farther distances for certain imaging services may reflect their perceptions of the degree of differentiation of such services. We compare ...

The Objective Identification and Quantification of Interstitial Lung Abnormalities in Smokers

Introduction Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis have long been described based on clinical, radiographic, and pathologic findings. However, there is a growing re...

Sub-solid Nodule Detection Performance on Reduced-dose Computed Tomography with Iterative Reduction

Rationale and Objectives This study aimed to compare sub-solid nodule detection performances (SSNDP) on chest computed tomography (CT) with Adaptive Iterative Dose Reduction using Three Dimensiona...

Less Is More

Rationale and Objectives Emergency department (ED) patients with acute low back pain (LBP) may present with ambiguous clinical findings that pose diagnostic challenges to exclude cauda equina synd...

Learning the Limits of Robert's Rules

Set thine house in order.—Isaiah 38.1 In general, order is preferable to disorder. The Bible associates the act of creation with the introduction of order into chaos, and organization is one o...

Evaluation of Plaque Morphology by 64-Slice Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography Compared to Intravascular Ultrasound in Nonocclusive Segments of Coronary Arteries

Rationale and Objectives Although intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is the current gold standard for plaque characterization, noninvasive coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) requires fu...

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Practice Patterns Following 2011 FDA Approval

Highlights DBT use has continued to grow over the course of 2011–2016. DBT use is now equally likely at academic centers versus in private practices. Synthetic 2D has y...

Diagnostic Performance of Automated Breast Volume Scanning (ABVS) Compared to Handheld Ultrasonography With Breast MRI as the Gold Standard

Rationale and Objectives This study aimed to compare the diagnostic value of automated breast volume scanning (ABVS) to that of handheld ultrasonography (HHUS) using breast magnetic resonance imag...

Coronary Artery Stent Evaluation with Model-based Iterative Reconstruction at Coronary CT Angiography

Rationale and Objectives This study aims to compare the image quality of coronary artery stent scans on computed tomography images reconstructed with forward projected model-based iterative recons...

Chart-stimulated Recall as a Learning Tool for Improving Radiology Residents' Reports

Rationale and Objectives Workplace-based assessments gauge the highest tier of clinical competence. Chart-stimulated recall (CSR) is a workplace-based assessment method that complements chart audi...
