A Snapshot of Radiology Training During the Early COVID-19 Pandemic.

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the personal and professional lives of radiology trainees. The purpose of this study was to broadly summarize the impact of COVID-19 on radiology trainees and their training programs via data collected during the early pandemic.

Materials And Methods: An online survey was distributed to radiology chief residents in residencies throughout North America with responses collected between March 20th, 2020 and May 15th, 2020, which coincided with the development of initial COVID-19 peaks in North America.

Results of the 2015 Survey of the American Alliance of Academic Chief Residents in Radiology.

Rationale And Objectives: The American Alliance of Academic Chief Residents in Radiology conducts an annual survey of chief residents in Diagnostic Radiology programs in North America. The survey serves as a resource for observing trends and disseminating ideas among radiology training programs.

Materials And Methods: An online survey was distributed to chief residents at 181 residency programs, with questions on a broad range of topics including resident benefits, program and call structure, American Board of Radiology Core exam preparation, fellowships, and the job market.

Transcatheter therapy for hepatic malignancy: standardization of terminology and reporting criteria.

The field of interventional oncology includes tumor ablation as well as the use of transcatheter therapies such as embolization, chemoembolization, and radioembolization. Terminology and reporting standards for tumor ablation have been developed. The development of standardization of terminology and reporting criteria for transcatheter therapies should provide a similar framework to facilitate the clearest communication among investigators and provide the greatest flexibility in comparing established and emerging technologies.

Hepatic metastasis from uveal melanoma: angiographic pattern predictive of survival after hepatic arterial chemoembolization.

Objective: To identify clinical features associated with survival after hepatic arterial chemoembolization (HACE) for uveal melanoma metastasis.

Methods: Retrospective case series including 11 men and 10 women with uveal melanoma metastasis.

Results: The hepatic angiographic pattern of metastasis was infiltrative in 12 patients (57%) and nodular in 9 patients (43%).

Chemoembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma: patient status at presentation and outcome over 15 years at a single center.

Objective: We report the outcome of the care of 209 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with a focus on relevant scoring systems for predicting overall survival and time to progression and on changes in presentation status and outcome from 1991 to 2006.

Materials And Methods: Hepatic arterial chemoembolization was performed on 209 patients in 375 sessions. Disease status was evaluated with the Child-Pugh, Okuda, Cancer of the Liver Italian Program, and American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) systems.

Hepatic arterial chemoembolization for management of metastatic melanoma.

Objective: Hepatic arterial chemoembolization is an accepted therapy for stage 4 melanoma with liver-dominant metastasis. However, the reports of outcomes are limited. We present our outcomes with hepatic arterial chemoembolization for metastasis of stage 4 melanoma.

Transcatheter therapy for hepatic malignancy: standardization of terminology and reporting criteria.

The field of interventional oncology includes tumor ablation as well as the use of transcatheter therapies such as embolization, chemoembolization, and radioembolization. Terminology and reporting standards for tumor ablation have been developed. The development of standardization of terminology and reporting criteria for transcatheter therapies should provide a similar framework to facilitate the clearest communication among investigators and provide the greatest flexibility in comparing established and emerging technologies.

Practice building in interventional oncology.

Interventional Oncology is an exciting area of Interventional Radiology that represents one of the most rapidly expanding areas in the specialty. These vascular and nonvascular procedures are similar to or identical to other procedures performed by Interventional Radiologists, making practice development feasible in both the academic and private sectors. In this article, practical methods to target and expand individual practices are addressed along with ways to use physician extenders to maximize efficiency in practice.

Long-term outcome after chemoembolization and embolization of hepatic metastatic lesions from neuroendocrine tumors.

Objective: Hepatic artery chemoembolization and hepatic artery embolization (HAE) are accepted treatments of patients with hepatic metastasis from neuroendocrine tumors. Long-term outcome data are limited. We present our experience in the use of hepatic artery chemoembolization in the treatment of patients with hepatic metastasis from neuroendocrine tumors.

Pre-liver transplantation locoregional adjuvant therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma as a strategy to improve longterm survival.

Background: Preorthotopic liver transplantation locoregional therapy (LRT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) reduces drop-out rates in patients awaiting orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). In this study, we investigated the efficacy of LRT as a strategy to improve longterm survival after transplantation.

Study Design: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data identified 100 patients with HCC who underwent OLT between 1985 and 2005.

The role of interventional radiology in trauma.

Since the development of angiography and transcatheter techniques, interventional radiology has played an important role in the management of trauma patients. The ability to treat life-threatening hemorrhage with transcatheter embolization has spared countless patients the morbidity of surgery. Advances in cross-sectional imaging and increases in understanding of which patients will best benefit from embolization promise to further refine the interventional radiologist's role.
