Article Synopsis
- The first year of radiology residency is challenging, requiring adjustments to a new field and preparing for on-call duties.
- Implementing a longitudinal lecture series can enhance first-year residents' knowledge and confidence, benefiting the entire program.
- This article details the creation of a resident-led lecture series focused on essential topics like rotation logistics, basic physics, exam protocols, and critical pathologies.
Background: Plasmacytomas are monoclonal proliferations of plasma cells that typically affect the intramedullary axial skeleton. Imaging findings of an extramedullary plasmacytoma on radiograph and computed tomography can be nonspecific and can resemble other entities such as lymphoma, metastases, chondrosarcomas, or giant cell tumors.
Case Report: A 60-year-old female with a medical history of partial complex seizures, hypertension, diabetes, glaucoma, and hyperlipidemia presented with complaints of superficial abdominal pain associated with erythema and swelling for 3 weeks.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of overnight shifts (ONS) on radiologist fatigue, visual search pattern, and diagnostic performance.
Methods: This experimental study was approved by the institutional review board. Twelve radiologists (five faculty members and seven residents) each completed two sessions: one during a normal workday ("not fatigued") and another in the morning after an ONS ("fatigued").
