Rationale And Objectives: The study aimed to determine the outcome of patients presenting for evaluation of abnormal breast thermography.
Materials And Methods: Following Institutional Review Board approval, retrospective search identified 38 patients who presented for conventional breast imaging following a thermography-detected abnormality. Study criteria included women who had mammogram and/or breast ultrasound performed for evaluation of a thermography-detected abnormality between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2015.
Purpose: With the development of patient portals, the opportunity exists to identify gaps in practice by analyzing priorities patients place on the receipt and comprehension of radiology reports. Our purpose was to describe the nature of radiology-specific patient information requests by analysis of patient-initiated messages submitted through a web-based electronic patient portal.
Methods: Institutional review board approval was obtained and informed consent waived for this HIPAA-compliant retrospective cross-sectional study.
Background: There is a paucity of literature describing and comparing the imaging features of adrenocortical adenomas and carcinomas in children and adolescents.
Objective: To document the CT and MRI features of adrenocortical neoplasms in a pediatric population and to determine whether imaging findings (other than metastatic disease) can distinguish adenomas from carcinomas.
Materials And Methods: We searched institutional medical records to identify pediatric patients with adrenocortical neoplasms.
