Data Analysis of the Lung Imaging Database Consortium and Image Database Resource Initiative

Rationale and Objectives The Lung Image Database Consortium (LIDC) and Image Database Resource Initiative (IDRI) is the largest publicly available computed tomography (CT) image reference data set...

Continued Evolution of Clinical Decision Support Tools for Guiding Imaging Utilization

We thank Drs. Yucel and Bettman for their interest in our article and for the further commentary regarding the American College of Radiology (ACR) Appropriateness Criteria (AC) that they provide in...

Computer-Aided Nodule Detection System

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate the performance of a computer-aided detection (CAD) system with bone suppression imaging when applied to unselected consecutive chest radiographs (CXRs) with c...

Clarification of the Nature and Use of the ACR Appropriateness Criteria in Decision-Support Trials

We are writing in response to the recently published article by Rosenkrantz et al. . In the article, the authors point out that the Appropriateness Criteria (AC) of the American College of Radiolog...

Change Overload and the Program Director

An epidemic has swept across radiology. Its principal victims are radiology residency and fellowship program directors. Its symptoms are often vague and nonspecific but include fatigue, disorientat...

Can the Signal-to-Noise Ratio of Choline in Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Reflect the Aggressiveness of Endometrial Cancer?

Rationale and Objectives To differentiate endometrial cancer (ECa) from benign lesions in endometrial or in submucosa (BLs-ESm), and investigate whether the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of choline-...

Assessment of Liver Function and Liver Fibrosis with Dynamic Gd-EOB-DTPA–Enhanced MRI

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate the ability of segmental linear fitting analysis of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid liver perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI...

Acute Stroke Imaging

Rationale and Objectives Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) provides information that can be used to estimate the symptom onset in patients with wake-up stroke (WUS). Time-resolved MR angiograp...

Using a Checklist to Avoid Simple Errors of Omission

The article published in this issue of Academic Radiology describing PRODUCT reports the outcome of a fluoroscopy checklist and also contains a discussion of the use of a fluoroscopy checklist base...
