An Overview of Methodologies in Detecting Overdiagnosis

Owing to imperfect information, overdiagnosis cannot be predicted with certainty before the fact . Overdiagnosis is inferred . The fact that overdiagnosis is inferred places unique challenges on th...

Adherence to Thresholds

Thresholds derived from quantification in imaging are increasingly used to define disease. This derivation is not an exact science. When one uses a threshold to define a disease, one does not clear...

Whole Breast Ultrasound

Rationale and Objectives To assess how well radiologists visualize relevant features of lesions seen with automated breast volumetric scanning (ABVS) in comparison to hand-held breast ultrasound i...

Trends in CT Utilization for Pediatric Fall Patients in US Emergency Departments

Rationale and Objectives Falls are a common cause of emergency department (ED) visits in the United States. We evaluated trends in computed tomography (CT) utilization for pediatric fall victims i...

The Value of Nonenhanced Single-Source Dual-Energy CT for Differentiating Metastases From Adenoma in Adrenal Glands

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate the value of the nonenhanced single-source dual-energy computed tomography (ssDECT) in differentiating metastases from adenomas in adrenal glands. Materials a...

The Radiologist as an Anatomy Student

Anatomy is a foundational discipline for the study of medicine, but it lies at the very core of radiology. Essentially, every image a radiologist inspects depicts anatomy, and one of the very first...

Seventy–Peak Kilovoltage High-Pitch Thoracic Aortic CT Angiography without ECG Gating

Rationale and Objectives To assess the feasibility of 70-kVp high-pitch non–ECG-gated thoracic aortic computed tomography angiography (CTA) with 40-mL contrast agent compared to 100-kVp standard-p...

Research Resources Survey

Rationale and Objectives To assess resources available to junior faculty in US academic radiology departments for research mentorship and funding opportunities and to determine if certain resource...

Re Development and Utilization of a Web-Based Application as a Robust Radiology Teaching Tool (RadStax) for Medical Student Anatomy Teaching

We congratulate Colucci et al. for their work entitled “Development and utilization of a Web-based application as a Robust Radiology Teaching Tool (RadStax) for medical student anatomy teaching” pu...

Radiology Testing in Population Health

Colon and rectal cancer accounts for 8.0% of all new cancers with estimated 132,700 new cases and 49,700 deaths in 2015 . The National Colorectal Cancer Round Table views colorectal cancer as a maj...
