PURPOSE: Diameter-based guidelines for prophylactic repair of ascending aortic aneurysms have led to routine aortic evaluation in chest imaging. Despite sex differences in aneurysm outcomes, there is little understanding of sex-specific aortic growth rates. Our objective was to evaluate sex-specific temporal changes in radiologist-reported aortic size as well as sex differences in aortic reporting. METHOD: In this cohort study, we queried radiology reports of chest computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging at an academic medical center from 1994 to 2022, excluding type A dissection...

Infant femoral arterial access is an essential part of interventional procedures, hemodynamic monitoring, and support of critically ill patients. Due to small luminal diameter, superficial location, mobility, and increased risk of vasospasm, dissection, and thrombosis, femoral artery access in the infant is a technically demanding procedure. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe an approach to successful common femoral arterial access and arteriography in infants including common pearls and pitfalls...

Although 60.5 % of clinically unexplained stillbirths can be attributed to placental insufficiency and/or fetal growth restriction, clinicians rarely calculate estimated placental volume (EPV). We present a scenario in which EPV was used to inform patient care of a 28-year-old with decreased fetal movement at 32 weeks and 1 day gestation. Although estimated fetal weight (EFW), amniotic fluid index (AFI), and nonstress test (NST) were normal, EPV was low (<0.1st percentile), which prompted more frequent patient follow-up...

Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) pumps are used to deliver liver-directed therapy by allowing the administration of selective chemotherapy to the liver via a catheter implanted most commonly into the gastroduodenal artery connected to a subcutaneous pump. This selective administration helps maximize the chemotherapeutic effect within the hepatic tumors while minimizing systemic toxicity. While HAI therapy has primarily been used to treat liver-only metastatic colorectal cancer, the indications have expanded to other malignancies, including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma...

BACKGROUND: Chest radiographs (CXR) for tuberculosis (TB) screening in children are valuable in high-burden settings. However, less certain in low prevalence contexts. In the United States, positive PPD is sufficient to treat for "latent" TB, or TB infection in asymptomatic patients. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine frequency of abnormal CXR findings after a positive purified protein derivative (PPD) test at a tertiary pediatric center in the United States. METHOD: A retrospective evaluation was conducted of patients (0-18 years) with a CXR after a positive PPD (e...

Physician burnout continues to be a challenge in addressing radiologist wellness. The stressors contributing to breast radiologist burnout are distinctive due to the unique work environments of a breast center. The intimate nature of a subspecialized team of radiologist(s) and technologists at an imaging center may result in interpersonal challenges such as a disruptive technologist. It is important to address the stressors to mitigate the increasing burnout affecting breast radiologists. This article raises awareness among radiologists and administrators and provides strategies to breast centers and breast radiologists for guidance on dealing with a disruptive technologist...

Milk of calcium (MOC) is a term used for sedimented calcifications within small cysts (Milk of Calcium - an overview|ScienceDirect Topics, n.d.). MOC in the breast is a benign entity and present in 4-6% of women that undergo diagnostic mammography (Park et al., 2008).2 Calcium particles within cysts produce 'teacup'-shaped calcifications on true lateral views, and smudged calcifications on craniocaudal (CC) views (Veloso Gomes et al., n.d.).3 On the CC projection, the calcifications will have a cloudlike or smudgy appearance like tea leaves in the bottom of a teacup (Milk of Calcium - an overview|ScienceDirect Topics, n...

PURPOSE: Interstitial lung abnormality (ILA) is a common finding on chest CTs and is associated with higher all-cause mortality. The 2020 Fleischner Society position paper standardized the terminology and definition of ILA. Despite these published guidelines, the extent to which radiologists use this term is unknown. We evaluated practice patterns for identification of ILAs among radiologists at a tertiary academic medical center. METHODS: In this retrospective review, we identified 157 radiology reports between January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2021 containing the phrase "interstitial lung abnormality" or "interstitial abnormality"...

Radiologists across many imaging modalities commonly encounter gallbladder adenomyomatosis. The classic imaging appearances of gallbladder adenomyomatosis are well described and confirm benignity. However, in clinical practice, adenomyomatosis can be challenging to differentiate from other gallbladder pathologies that require cholecystectomy. In this article, we describe the common and uncommon appearances of gallbladder adenomyomatosis on multimodality imaging, helping differentiate adenomyomatosis from non-benign gallbladder abnormalities...

BACKGROUND: The selection of appropriate treatments for Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS), including Intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and Mechanical thrombectomy, is a critical aspect of clinical decision-making. Timely treatment is essential, with recommended administration of therapies within 4.5 h of symptom onset. However, patients with unknown Time Since Stroke (TSS), are often excluded from thrombolysis, even if the stroke onset exceeds 6 h. Current clinical guidelines propose using multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to assess various mismatches...
