OBJECTIVE To evaluate spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) inter-reader and intra-reader reliabilities using the thoracolumbar injury classification system and severity score (TLICS) and to analyze the effects of reader experience on reliability and the possible reasons for discordant interpretations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six radiologists (two senior, two junior radiologists, and two resid...

The communication of critical findings observed in radiology imaging studies between the radiologist and the ordering provider is a key factor in providing efficacious patient care [1]. Currently, the most common form of communication is a physician-to-physician telephone conversation, initiated by the radiologist at the time of image interpretation. This process may be tedious, slow, and ineff...

Intracranial tuberculosis continues to be a serious problem in both the developing and developed world, with significant morbidity and mortality. It has protean manifestations and at times, poses significant diagnostic challenges to both the radiologist and the treating physician. This pictorial essay aims to acquaint the radiologist with the varied imaging spectrum of intracranial tuberculosis...

How to stay in the driver's seat in the future as a radiologist: subspecialisation and direct clinical involvement are crucial to remain of added value to the hospital. Teaching Points • Subspecialisation and clinical involvement are crucial for future radiologists. • Visibility of the radiologist is important. • The European Society of Radiology (ESR) should coordinate subspecialisation with t...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate (1) whether or not the addition of computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) to 64-slice multidetector computed tomography (CT) can be used as a screening tool for detection of pulmonary nodules in routine CT chest examinations and (2) whether or not to advocate the incorporation of CAD as a screening tool into our daily practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cross-sec...

There are limited data on the impact of feedback of incidental findings Background (IFs) from research imaging. We evaluated the impact of UK Biobank’s protocol for handling potentially serious IFs in a multi-modal imaging study of 100,000 participants (radiographer ‘flagging’ with radiologist confirmation of potentially serious IFs) compared with systematic radiologist review of all images. : ...

BACKGROUND There has been no study to compare the diagnostic accuracy of an experienced radiologist with a trainee in nasal bone fracture. OBJECTIVES To compare the diagnostic accuracy between conventional radiography and computed tomography (CT) for the identification of nasal bone fractures and to evaluate the interobserver reliability between a staff radiologist and a trainee. PATIENTS A...

Our aim was to analyze the feasibility of computer aided malignant tumor detection using the traditional texture analysis applied on two-compartment-based parameter pseudoimages of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (DCE-MR) breast image data. A major contribution of this research will be the through-plane assessment capability. Texture analysis was performed on two-compartment-based ...
