Objective: Thyroid nodules are very common in clinical practice, and ultrasound has long been used as a screening tool for their evaluation. Several risk assessment systems based on ultrasonography have been developed to stratify the risk of malignancy and determine the need for fine-needle aspiration in thyroid nodules, including the American Thyroid Association (ATA) system and the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS). The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the ATA and ACR TI-RADS systems in predicting malignancy in thyroid nodules based on the nodules' final histopathology reports.

- Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) is the most common intracranial tumor linked to tuberous sclerosis, often leading to hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure as it grows.
- A case study is presented of a 27-year-old male with TS who experienced severe hemorrhagic complications from SEGA, prompting a systematic review of similar cases in scientific literature.
- The review found 14 cases of SEGA-related hemorrhage, showing a prevalence of headaches and good clinical outcomes in most patients, though 20% of cases resulted in death, and complete tumor resection was achieved in about half of the patients.
Background: The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) resulted in disruption in the traditional teaching methods and lead to a wider adoption of virtual teaching. However, there is a lack of comparative studies regarding the use of either or the mixed mode for teaching radiology to undergraduate students.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the barriers, performance, and overall satisfaction of undergraduate medical students and instructors undertaking virtual and traditional radiology learning across Saudi Arabia.
