Radiology Resident Ownership Scale (RROS): Adapting a Validated Measure of Patient Care Ownership to the Radiology Context.

Rationale And Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop a validated instrument to measure radiology residents' sense of psychological ownership of patient care.

Materials And Methods: A previously validated measure of patient care ownership was adapted through a two-step process of expert review and revision by six academic radiology faculty. An online, anonymous survey was distributed to 64 residents and fellows at the end of three consecutive four-week long rotations.

Colitis as the Initial Presentation of Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis.

A male patient in his early sixties with recurrent diarrhea was transferred to our hospital. The patient did not have any pulmonary or upper respiratory symptoms. He was noted to have peripheral eosinophilia.

Complications of Lung Transplantation: Update on Imaging Manifestations and Management.

As lung transplantation has become the most effective definitive treatment option for end-stage chronic respiratory diseases, yearly rates of this surgery have been steadily increasing. Despite improvement in surgical techniques and medical management of transplant recipients, complications from lung transplantation are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Some of these complications can be classified on the basis of the time they typically occur after lung transplantation, while others may occur at any time.

Lung cancer screening patient-provider discussion: Where do we stand and what are the associated factors?

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to estimate the percentage of individuals possibly eligible for lung cancer screening that report having discussed screening with a health care provider. The secondary objective was to investigate the associated factors of having patient-provider lung cancer screening discussion.

Methods: Data from the Health Information National Trends Survey 2017 were used ( = 3217).

Pulmonary Sarcoidosis: A Pictorial Review.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous process that most commonly involves the lungs. Radiographic findings consistent with sarcoidosis are important to the diagnosis of this disease, as no specific diagnostic test for sarcoidosis exists. The classic imaging manifestations of sarcoidosis are related to granulomatous involvement along the lymphatic pathways within the lungs, granulomatous involvement of lymph nodes, and fibrosis at the sites of previous inflammation.

Skeletal Scintigraphy in Radiation-Induced Fibrosis With Lymphedema.

Despite increasing reliance on CT, MRI, and FDG PET/CT for oncological imaging, whole-body skeletal scintigraphy remains a frontline modality for staging and surveillance of osseous metastatic disease. We present a 54-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer who received palliative external-beam radiation to the left ilium. Serial follow-up Tc-MDP bone scans demonstrated progressive soft-tissue uptake in her left lower extremity, extending from thigh to leg, with associated enlargement and skin thickening, consistent with lymphedema related to radiation-induced fibrosis.
