Satisfaction of Search in Chest Radiography 2015

Rationale and Objectives Two decades have passed since the publication of laboratory studies of satisfaction of search (SOS) in chest radiography. Those studies were performed using film. The curr...

Reliability of Total Renal Volume Computation in Polycystic Kidney Disease From Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Rationale and Objectives Total renal volume (TRV) is an important quantitative indicator of the progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The Consortium for Radiologic I...

Reinitiation of Withdrawn or Modified Neuroimaging Requests After Collaborative Consultation

Rationale and Objectives This study explored four common sequences of interaction between providers and a collaborative, nondenial model preauthorization program to assess the extent to which the ...

Novel X-Ray Imaging Technology Allows Substantial Patient Radiation Reduction without Image Quality Impairment in Repetitive Transarterial Chemoembolization for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Rationale and Objectives To assess patient radiation dose reduction and the image quality of a new X-ray imaging technology during repetitive transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellu...

Noncontrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Versus Computed Tomography Angiography in Preoperative Evaluation of Potential Living Renal Donors

Rationale and Objectives Living renal donors undergo an extensive examination program. These examinations should be as safe, gentle, and patient friendly as possible. To compare computed tomograph...

Muscle Metabolic Responses During Dynamic In-Magnet Exercise Testing

Rationale and Objectives The clinical utility of supine in-magnet bicycling in combination with phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 31 P MRS) to evaluate quadriceps muscle metabolism was...

Modifying the “Modified Schwartz Equation” for Lung Cancer Volume Estimates

A commonly used approach for measuring volume doubling times of lung tumors relies on the “Modified Schwartz Equation.” This approach was first introduced in 1994 by Usada and allows for tumor volu...

Inter-Method Performance Study of Tumor Volumetry Assessment on Computed Tomography Test-Retest Data

Rationale and objectives Tumor volume change has potential as a biomarker for diagnosis, therapy planning, and treatment response. Precision was evaluated and compared among semiautomated lung tum...

Indications for Plain Radiographs in Uncomplicated Lower Extremity Cellulitis

Rationale and Objectives Cellulitis is a common cause for emergency department (ED) presentation and subsequent hospital admission. Underlying fracture, osteomyelitis, or foreign body is often con...

Improved Detection of Cortical Gray Matter Involvement in Multiple Sclerosis with Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping

Rationale and Objectives Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a novel technique which allows determining the bulk magnetic susceptibility distribution of tissue in vivo from gradient echo ...
