Purpose: We wished to evaluate if an open-source artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm ( https://www.childfx.com ) could improve performance of (1) subspecialized musculoskeletal radiologists, (2) radiology residents, and (3) pediatric residents in detecting pediatric and young adult upper extremity fractures.

Solid polymer and perovskite-type ceramic electrolytes have both shown promise in advancing solid-state lithium metal batteries. Despite their favorable interfacial stability against lithium metal, polymer electrolytes face issues due to their low ionic conductivity and poor mechanical strength. Highly conductive and mechanically robust ceramics, on the other hand, cannot physically remain in contact with redox-active particles that expand and contract during charge-discharge cycles unless excessive pressures are used.

Purpose: To determine which factors influence patient understanding of information documents on radiology examinations.

Materials And Methods: This is a randomized prospective study with 361 consecutive patients. Documents with information on 9 radiology exams were obtained ( www.

Purpose: The pathophysiology of nocturia and nocturnal polyuria (NP), conditions that become more prevalent with aging, may in part be explained by changes in hormones involved in water homeostasis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of aging on urinary natriuretic peptides in nocturia and NP.

Methods: Patients aged ≥18 years completed 24-hour bladder diaries for assessment of nocturia and NP.

Objective: To assess the readability of patient-targeted online information on musculoskeletal radiology procedures.

Methods: Eleven common musculoskeletal radiology procedures were queried in three online search engines (Google, Yahoo!, Bing). All unique patient-targeted websites were identified (n = 384) from the first three pages of search results.

Objective: To assess MR features following MPFL reconstruction and determine their influence on post-operative pain, progressive arthritis, or graft failure.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective study on 38 patients with MPFL reconstruction and a post-operative MRI between January 2010 and June 2019. Two radiologists assessed MPFL graft signal, graft thickness, femoral screw, femoral tunnel widening, and patellofemoral cartilage damage.

Purpose: The association between nocturia and hypertension has been widely reported yet remains poorly characterized, precluding a more refined understanding of blood pressure as it relates to the clinical urology setting. We synthesized current evidence on the relationship between nocturia and hypertension as a function of nocturia severity, age, gender, race, body mass index and diuretic use.

Materials And Methods: We searched PubMed®, EMBASE® and Cochrane databases for studies published up to May 2020.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of athletic pubalgia imaging findings on MRI in patients with femoroacetabular impingement and assess for correlative risk factors.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective search identified 156 hips with femoroacetabular impingement and a control group of 113 without femoroacetabular impingement that had an MRI performed between January 1, 2015, and January 1, 2018. Two fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologists reviewed studies for the presence of acute osteitis pubis, chronic osteitis pubis, adductor tendinosis, and tendon tear; rectus abdominis tendinosis and tendon tear; and aponeurotic plate tear.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the MR enterographic findings that best correlate with mucosal healing assessed with ileocolonoscopy.

Materials And Methods: Patients with Crohn disease who underwent two ileocolonoscopic examinations and also underwent MR enterography close in time to the second endoscopic examination were included in a retrospective study. Two pediatric gastroenterologists blinded to the imaging findings reviewed the endoscopic examinations to assess for mucosal healing, defined as resolution of inflammation within a bowel segment at subsequent ileocolonoscopy.

MR enterography (MRE) has become the primary imaging modality in the assessment of Crohn's disease (CD) in both children and adults at many institutions in the United States and worldwide, primarily due to its noninvasiveness, superior soft tissue contrast, and lack of ionizing radiation. MRE technique includes distention of the small bowel with oral contrast media with the acquisition of T2-weighted, balanced steady-state free precession, and multiphase T1-weighted fat suppressed gadolinium contrast-enhanced sequences. With the introduction of molecule-targeted biologic agents into the clinical setting for CD and their potential to reverse the inflammatory process, MRE is increasingly utilized to evaluate disease activity and response to therapy as an imaging complement to clinical indices or optical endoscopy.

Primary Sjögren syndrome (PSS) rarely occurs in children. In addition, because the objective and subjective diagnostic criteria for juvenile PSS differ from those seen in adults, identification of its presence can be difficult to establish. This case report illustrates the accepted benchmarks for diagnosing pediatric PSS.

Background: There is no standardized system to grade pleural effusion size on CT scans. A validated, systematic grading system would improve communication of findings and may help determine the need for imaging guidance for thoracentesis.

Methods: CT scans of 34 patients demonstrating a wide range of pleural effusion sizes were measured with a volume segmentation tool and reviewed for qualitative and simple quantitative features related to size.
