Article Synopsis
- A new case shows unusual cochlear enhancement on MRI in a 3-year-old with ND and normal hearing, which hasn't been documented before.
- Future research should investigate the timing of cochlear changes and their relationship to hearing loss, as this could help with gene therapy candidates and offer clues about treatment outcomes.
While there is no precise formula for a great radiology resident, certain attributes and achievements may herald success during training. We briefly review prior works exploring predictive factors and evaluation metrics of top resident performance, noting that those focusing on non-cognitive attributes are over twenty years old. As radiology practice and education has substantially evolved in the interim, we revisit this topic from a contemporary perspective.

Timely and accurate detection of acute findings is crucial for best clinical outcomes; missed or delayed diagnosis can be devastating. Our pictorial essay presents twelve CTA cases that provided significant diagnostic dilemmas to on-call trainees while reviewing current bias and error classifications in radiology.

- The study aims to evaluate how various factors, including CCTA scanning techniques and patient characteristics, affect the performance of AI-based software in detecting significant coronary artery blockages (≥50% stenosis).
- CCTA is a non-invasive imaging technique beneficial for diagnosing coronary artery disease. The effectiveness of AI-QCT software in improving diagnostic outcomes is being assessed through analysis of data collected from 303 stable patients.
- The analysis includes measuring the software's sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy by comparing its results with established QCA measurements, while exploring the impact of different scanning and patient-related parameters on these diagnostics.
Hypopharyngeal perforation (HP) is a potentially life-threatening condition most associated with iatrogenic injury and foreign body impaction. Additionally, a number of cases of posterior HP have been reported following blunt cervical trauma. We present a case of a construction accident causing lateral hypopharyngeal rupture.
