Objectives: Designing a framework representing radiology results in a standards-based data structure using joint Radiological Society of North America/American College of Radiology Common Data Elements (CDEs) as the semantic labels on standard structures. This allows radiologist-created report data to integrate with artificial intelligence-generated results for use throughout downstream systems.

Materials And Methods: We developed a framework modeling radiology findings as Health Level 7 (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) observations using CDE set/element identifiers as standardized semantic labels.

The deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in radiology practice creates new demands on existing imaging workflow. Accommodating custom integrations creates a substantial operational and maintenance burden. These custom integrations also increase the likelihood of unanticipated problems.

Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are prone to bias at multiple stages of model development, with potential for exacerbating health disparities. However, bias in imaging AI is a complex topic that encompasses multiple coexisting definitions. may refer to unequal preference to a person or group owing to preexisting attitudes or beliefs, either intentional or unintentional.

Radiology is a major contributor to health care's impact on climate change, in part due to its reliance on energy-intensive equipment as well as its growing technological reliance. Delivering modern patient care requires a robust informatics team to move images from the imaging equipment to the workstations and the health care system. Radiology informatics is the field that manages medical imaging IT.

Purpose: To study the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) for detecting pleural pathology on chest radiographs (CXRs) using computed tomography as ground truth.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective study of subjects undergoing CXR in various clinical settings. Computed tomography obtained within 24 hours of the CXR was used to volumetrically quantify pleural effusions (PEfs) and pneumothoraxes (Ptxs).

Implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) applications into clinical practice requires AI-savvy radiologists to ensure the safe, ethical, and effective use of these systems for patient care. Increasing demand for AI education reflects recognition of the translation of AI applications from research to clinical practice, with positive trainee attitudes regarding the influence of AI on radiology. However, barriers to AI education, such as limited access to resources, predispose to insufficient preparation for the effective use of AI in practice.

Social media has become integrated within the profession of medicine, and emergency radiology has inevitably felt the impact of its presence. Emergency radiologists are encouraged to consider the advantages of embracing the digital era and the benefits it may bring to our careers. We aim to present the best practice guidelines for emergency radiologists and radiology departments.

Purpose: To develop and evaluate domain-specific and pretrained bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) models in a transfer learning task on varying training dataset sizes to annotate a larger overall dataset.

Materials And Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed 69 095 anonymized adult chest radiograph reports (reports dated April 2020-March 2021). From the overall cohort, 1004 reports were randomly selected and labeled for the presence or absence of each of the following devices: endotracheal tube (ETT), enterogastric tube (NGT, or Dobhoff tube), central venous catheter (CVC), and Swan-Ganz catheter (SGC).

Intramuscular myxoma is a rare entity that may present as single or multiple lesions in patients with Mazabraud's syndrome and is characterized by intramuscular myxomas with fibrous dysplasia. Though intramuscular myxomas occur in large muscle groups, they can very rarely occur in the chest wall. We present the case of a 41-year-old woman with an incidentally discovered intercostal mass on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP).

We present the imaging and histopathological findings in a 32-year-old female who presented to the erectile dysfunction with progressively worsening abdominal pain over the past 2 months. Computed tomography abdomen and pelvis revealed bilateral ovarian teratomas, left significantly larger than right. There was associated fat stranding, mesenteric/omental stranding, and ascites worrisome for rupture versus peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Background: Interventional exercises have been developed to help athletes improve scores on the Functional Movement Screen™ (FMS™). However, there is a paucity of research on the effects of a similar program in female athletes, as well as the effects of a standardized corrective exercise regimen. The purpose of this study was to assess whether an in-season, standardized interventional exercise program improves FMS™ score asymmetry and the composite score of female collegiate athletes.

The basic science and clinical use of morphine and other "opioid" drugs are based almost exclusively on the extracts or analogues of compounds isolated from a single source, the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). However, it now appears that biological diversity has evolved an alternative source. Specifically, at least two alkaloids isolated from the plant Mitragyna speciosa, mitragynine ((E)-2-[(2S,3S)-3-ethyl-8-methoxy-1,2,3,4,6,7,12,12b-octahydroindolo[3,2-h]quinolizin-2-yl]-3-methoxyprop-2-enoic acid methyl ester; 9-methoxy coryantheidine; MG) and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH-MG), and several synthetic analogues of these natural products display centrally mediated (supraspinal and spinal) antinociceptive (analgesic) activity in various pain models.
