High-resolution US and MR imaging of peroneal tendon injuries.

Injuries of the peroneal tendon complex are common and should be considered in every patient who presents with chronic lateral ankle pain. These injuries occur as a result of trauma (including ankle sprains), in tendons with preexisting tendonopathy, and with repetitive microtrauma due to instability. The peroneus brevis and peroneus longus tendons are rarely torn simultaneously.

Academic radiology: the reasons to stay or leave.

Rationale And Objectives: To find major reasons why junior academic radiologists leave academia for private practice and to suggest future changes to motivate them to stay.

Materials And Methods: 2000 surveys were sent to every tenth member of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) who completed training within the past decade. Those in academic institutions and those who left within 5 years were asked to respond.

Evaluation of emergency CT scans of the head: is there a community standard?

Objective: This study was designed to assess the accuracy of general radiologists in the interpretation via teleradiology of emergency CT scans of the head.

Materials And Methods: We studied the interpretations of 716 consecutive emergency CT scans of the head by a group of 15 board-certified general radiologists practicing in the community (as opposed to an academic setting). The scans were sent via teleradiology, and the preliminary interpretations were made.
