There is a large movement within the field of interventional radiology (IR) and various related organizations (including the Society of Interventional Radiology and the Canadian Interventional Radiology Association) for interventional radiologists to become more clinical. This is seen as the necessary next step for the specialty as it continues to evolve and grow. Here, we take a novel approach...

BACKGROUND Trauma is the most common cause of death in young adults. A multidisciplinary trauma team consists of at least a surgical team, an anesthesiology team, radiologic team, and an emergency department team. OBJECTIVE Recognize the integration of multidisciplinary medical team in managing the trauma patient and which must include the radiologist physician responsible for the institution...

Richard B. Gunderman and Harprit Bedi 2015 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 determinations to be made is whether the anatomy in question is normal or abnormal: is the bone fractured, the bile duct dilated, or the subarachnoid space ...

conclusion for the identification of nasal bone fractures, ct was significantly superior to conventional radiography. although a staff radiologist showed better values in the identification of nasal bone fracture and differentiation between depressed and non-depressed fractures than a trainee, there was no statistically significant difference in the interpretation of conventional radiography an...

introduction: diagnostic values reported for ultrasonographic screening of acute appendicitis vary widely and are dependent on the operator’s skill, patient’s gender, weight, etc. the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of operator skill on the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in detection of appendicitis by comparing the results of ultrasonography done by radiologists and emergenc...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of S-Detect when applied to breast ultrasonography (US), and the agreement with an experienced radiologist specializing in breast imaging. METHODS From June to August 2015, 192 breast masses in 175 women were included. US features of the breast masses were retrospectively analyzed by a radiologist who specializes in ...

OBJECT Magnetic resonance imaging has been proposed as a powerful technique for assessing the integrity of the posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) in spinal trauma. Because MR imaging is often used to determine appropriate treatment, it is important to determine the accuracy and reliability of MR imaging in diagnosing PLC disruption. The purpose of this study is to compare the ability of the ra...

PURPOSE To assess the factors registered radiologist assistants and radiologist assistant (RA) students perceive to be most significant for success in an RA educational program. METHODS An electronic survey was sent to graduates of and students currently enrolled in RA programs (N = 99) via their program directors. The response rate was 60.6% and represented 8 RA programs. Factor analysis was...
