Imaging features of intraosseous hemangiomas: beyond the mobile spine and calvarium.

Objective: Describe imaging features of intraosseous hemangiomas located outside of the mobile spine and calvarium.

Materials And Methods: Imaging and medical records were retrospectively reviewed for cases of intraosseous hemangiomas located outside of the calvarium and mobile spine. Evaluation included patient demographics, histologic confirmation, and imaging characteristics.

Workload and use factor data for a modern digital radiography system.

The well-referenced structural shielding design NCRP Report No. 147 uses workload information based on self-reported film-screen data from the AAPM Task Group 9 survey. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical workload distributions of modern digital radiography (DR) systems in general hospital and pediatric-only practices.

Technical note: Four-year experience with utilization of DICOM metadata analytics in clinical digital radiography practice.

Background: Digital radiography (DR) still presents many challenges and could have complex imaging acquisition and processing patterns in a clinical practice hindering quality standardization.

Purpose: This technical note aims to report the 4-year experience with utilizing a custom DICOM metadata analytics program in clinical DR at a large institution.

Methods: Thirty-eight DR systems of three vendors at multiple locations were configured to automatically send clinical DICOM images to a DICOM receiver.

Bone Tumors: Common Mimickers.

Mimics of primary and secondary bone tumors may result from a variety of processes. These can range from normal variants or developmental lesions that require no further work-up, to findings that require more urgent management, or may be indicative of a more serious systemic disease that necessitates further evaluation and treatment. It is important to be familiar with the spectrum of bone tumor mimics to avoid unnecessary tests, minimize patient morbidity, and reduce patient anxiety.
