Comparison of the Diagnostic Accuracy of Mammogram-based Deep Learning and Traditional Breast Cancer Risk Models in Patients Who Underwent Supplemental Screening with MRI.

Background Access to supplemental screening breast MRI is determined using traditional risk models, which are limited by modest predictive accuracy. Purpose To compare the diagnostic accuracy of a mammogram-based deep learning (DL) risk assessment model to that of traditional breast cancer risk models in patients who underwent supplemental screening with MRI. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included consecutive patients undergoing breast cancer screening MRI from September 2017 to September 2020 at four facilities.

Contrast-enhanced Mammography: Current Applications and Future Directions.

Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is a developing modality used for the workup and management of breast cancer. Although diagnostic imaging modalities such as mammography and US have historically been the mainstays of initial breast cancer workup, recent advances in breast MRI have allowed better disease evaluation. However, MRI is not always readily available, can be time consuming, and is contraindicated in certain patients.

Coding and Billing in Surgical Education: A Systems-Based Practice Education Program.

Objective: Despite increased emphasis on systems-based practice through the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education core competencies, few studies have examined what surgical residents know about coding and billing. We sought to create and measure the effectiveness of a multifaceted approach to improving resident knowledge and performance of documenting and coding outpatient encounters.

Design: We identified knowledge gaps and barriers to documentation and coding in the outpatient setting.

PET/CT Helps Downgrade an Aggressive-Appearing Rib Mass to a Probable Benign Lesion in a 9-Year-Old Girl.

We present a case of a 9-year-old girl with no significant medical history who developed acute onset of shortness of breath and upper chest pain during cheerleading practice. Laboratory results and physical examination were unremarkable. Chest radiograph and chest CT showed an expansile lytic aggressive-appearing mass within the left sixth rib.

Hospitalized Patients' Perceptions of Resident Fatigue, Duty Hours, and Continuity of Care.

Background: Physicians' perceptions of duty hour regulations have been closely examined, yet patient opinions have been largely unstudied to date.

Objective: We studied patient perceptions of residency duty hours, fatigue, and continuity of care following implementation of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education 2011 Common Program Requirements.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered between June and August 2013 to inpatients at a large academic medical center and an affiliated community hospital.
