Purpose: To investigate the types and frequency of workplace violence experienced by radiologic technologists and to identify which technologists using specific imaging modalities are at increased risk.
Methods: A mixed-methods approach was employed using a research electronic data capture (REDCap; Vanderbilt University) survey designed to establish information on radiologic technologists' self-reported experiences with workplace violence. The survey was distributed to a random sample of 10 000 radiologic technologists working with various imaging disciplines.
Background: This case study details a rare orbital metastasis originating from the gastrointestinal tract. A patient presented with proptosis of the right eye precipitated by a slow-growing orbital tumor. A biopsy confirmed a low-grade neuroendocrine tumor.

Methods: A search of 3 scholarly databases was performed to identify articles that discuss adverse reactions to GBCAs, specifically relating to kidney function, in MR examinations. A total of 20 peer-reviewed articles were analyzed.
