Embryology, Anatomy, and Radiology of Cervical Cysts and Cleft Lip/Palate: A Team-Based Learning Module for Medical Students.

Introduction: Current medical education promotes enhanced integration of various disciplines and early exposure to clinically relevant topics. Against this background, we have developed a team-based learning (TBL) module for medical students in the preclerkship period that integrates embryology, anatomy, and radiology of the head and neck region.

Methods: The module, which includes prereading assignments, readiness assurance tests, and an application exercise, focuses on the development of the head and neck region.

Radiology resident preliminary reporting in an independent call environment: multiyear assessment of volume, timeliness, and accuracy.

Purpose: The objective of this paper is to assess the volume, accuracy, and timeliness of radiology resident preliminary reports as part of an independent call system. This study seeks to understand the relationship between resident year in training, study modality, and discrepancy rate.

Methods: Resident preliminary interpretations on radiographs, ultrasound, CT, and MRI from October 2009 through December 2013 were prospectively scored by faculty on a modified RADPEER scoring system.

How will you need me, how will you read me, when I'm 64 (or more!)?: volume computed tomographic scanning and information overload in the emergency department.

Computed tomographic (CT) scanning technology now employs up to 320 detector rows of 0.5-mm width and allows rapid acquisition of isotropic volume datasets over the entire body. Data from a single CT acquisition can be reconstructed into image series that would formerly have required multiple acquisitions.

Primary glomangioma of the liver: a case report and review of the literature.

Glomangiomas are a subset of glomus tumors that have a rich vascular network. Although a majority of the glomus tumors occur in the skin of the hand, they have also been reported in the deep soft tissue, bone, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract, especially the stomach. To our knowledge, only one such case has previously been reported primarily occurring in the liver.

Three-dimensional sonographic evaluation of the common bile duct.

Objective: To assess the accuracy of three-dimensional sonographic measurements of the common bile duct compared with standard two-dimensional anteroposterior measurement of the common duct.

Methods: Fifty-five consecutive patients referred for abdominal sonography underwent standard two-dimensional abdominal sonography followed by three-dimensional sonographic data acquisition of the right upper quadrant. A radiologist blinded to the results of the two-dimensional examination later measured the three-dimensional long axis anteroposterior common duct diameter and three-dimensional short axis anteroposterior and transverse common duct diameters.
