Development, Implementation, and Assessment of a Quality, Research, Education, and Wellness (QREW) Professional Development Lecture Series for Radiology Faculty.

Rationale And Objectives: Professional development is important to academic radiologists. We developed, implemented, and assessed an internal professional development lecture series focusing on the non-interpretative themes of Quality, Research, Education, and Wellness (QREW).

Materials And Methods: The faculty of a 29-member abdominal radiology division at an academic hospital were invited to deliver 1-hour virtual lectures on noninterpretative topics to division colleagues.

Practical Tips for Reporting Adnexal Lesions Using O-RADS MRI.

The Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) MRI risk stratification system provides a standardized lexicon and evidence-based risk score for evaluation of adnexal lesions. The goals of the lexicon and risk score are to improve report quality and communication between radiologists and clinicians, reduce variability in the reporting language, and optimize management of adnexal lesions. The O-RADS MRI risk score is based on the presence or absence of specific imaging features, including the lipid content, enhancing solid tissue, number of loculi, and fluid type.

Learning From Experience- Confronting Challenges and Adapting to Change in a Large Academic Abdominal Radiology Practice: Insights From a Faculty Retreat.

Rationale: Substantial organizational changes, increasing clinical volumes, and the COVID-19 pandemic presented compound stressors to faculty radiologists in our large academic abdominal radiology division and necessitated multiple changes in our practice.

Methods: To address the challenges and establish group consensus, we conducted a virtual divisional faculty retreat centered on themes of team building, clinical work, trainee education, and faculty mentorship. A pre-retreat survey evaluated satisfaction with aspects of professional life and clinical work practices and invited personal reflections.

Clinical impact of PET/MRI in oligometastatic colorectal cancer.

Background: Oligometastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) is potentially curable and demands individualised strategies.

Methods: This single-centre retrospective study investigated if positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MR) had a clinical impact on oligometastatic CRC relative to the standard of care imaging (SCI). Adult patients with oligometastatic CRC on SCI who also underwent PET/MR between 3/2016 and 3/2019 were included.

Reclaiming Hands-on Ultrasound for Radiology With a Simulation-Based Ultrasound Curriculum for Radiology Residents.

Hands-on ultrasound training is included in the curriculum of many medical specialties and is increasingly incorporated into medical school curricula. Despite published curricula for ultrasound training in these specialties, there remains a dearth of such programs for radiology residency programs. At our institution, there has been a perceived decline in ultrasound scanning comfort and skill in trainees.

Hybrid imaging of the abdomen and pelvis.

Accurate imaging is crucial for lesion detection in abdominal organs, for the noninvasive characterization of focal and diffuse abnormalities, and for surgical planning. To accomplish these tasks, several imaging modalities such as multidetector computer tomography (MDCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) are used for abdominal imaging, providing important morphological, functional or metabolic information. More recently, PET/MRI has been gaining attention due to the possibility of combining high-resolution imaging with metabolic imaging.

Accurate imaging is crucial for lesion detection in abdominal organs, for the noninvasive characterization of focal and diffuse abnormalities, and for surgical planning. To accomplish these tasks, several imaging modalities such as multidetector computer tomography (MDCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) are used for abdominal imaging, providing important morphological, functional or metabolic information. More recently, PET/MRI has been gaining attention due to the possibility of combining high-resolution imaging with metabolic imaging.
