HIV Infection Is Independently Associated with Increased CT Scan Lung Density

Rationale and Objectives Noninfectious pulmonary complications are common among HIV-infected individuals and may be detected early by quantitative computed tomography (CT) scanning. The associatio...

Evaluation of Rib Fractures on a Single-in-plane Image Reformation of the Rib Cage in CT Examinations

Rationale and Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of using a reformatted single-in-plane image reformation of the rib cage for the detection of rib fractures in comp...

Estimating the Area Under ROC Curve When the Fitted Binormal Curves Demonstrate Improper Shape

Rationale and Objectives The “binormal” model is the most frequently used tool for parametric receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The binormal ROC curves can have “improper” (non-con...

Effects of Iterative Reconstruction Algorithms on Computer-assisted Detection (CAD) Software for Lung Nodules in Ultra-low-dose CT for Lung Cancer Screening

Rationale and Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effects of iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithms on computer-assisted detection (CAD) software for lung nodules in ultra-low-dose compu...

Dissecting Costs of CT Study Application of TDABC (Time-driven Activity-based Costing) in a Tertiary Academic Center

Rationale and Objectives The lack of understanding of the real costs (not charge) of delivering healthcare services poses tremendous challenges in the containment of healthcare costs. In this stud...

CT Angiography

Rationale and Objectives The study aimed to improve the detection of pulmonary embolism via an iodine contrast enhancement tool in patients who underwent suboptimal enhanced computed tomography an...

Automated 3D Rendering of Ribs in 110 Polytrauma Patients Strengths and Limitations

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate the strengths and limitations of a rib-unfolding software in a polytrauma context. Materials and Methods Chest computed tomography (CT) examinations of 110 p...

Association of h -index of Editorial Board Members and Impact Factor among Radiology Journals

Rationale and Objectives h -Index has been proposed as a useful bibliometric measure for quantifying research productivity. In this current study, we analyzed h -indices of editorial board members...

A Natural Language Processing-based Model to Automate MRI Brain Protocol Selection and Prioritization

Rationale and Objectives Incorrect imaging protocol selection can contribute to increased healthcare cost and waste. To help healthcare providers improve the quality and safety of medical imaging ...

Should Radiologists Adapt to a New Audience?

I read with great interest the recent study by Miles et al., which is the first to identify that more than half of patients with access to their radiology reports through a web-based portal viewed ...
