MRI-based Neuropathy Score Reporting And Data System (NS-RADS): multi-institutional wider-experience usability study of peripheral neuropathy conditions among 32 radiology readers.
Eur Radiol
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how reliably different radiology readers can classify and diagnose peripheral neuropathy using the NS-RADS scoring system after receiving limited training.* -
- Thirty-two radiology readers with various experience levels participated and were assessed on their diagnostic accuracy and inter-reader agreement when applying the NS-RADS system to MRI cases.* -
- Results showed that both trainees and experienced radiologists demonstrated similar levels of accuracy, indicating that the NS-RADS system can effectively be used by non-expert readers for diagnosing PN conditions.*
As of January 2021, among other transparency requirements, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services require that hospitals publish consumer-friendly displays of charges for shoppable health care services, including four musculoskeletal imaging examinations. Of 250 selected U.S.

Methods: Utilizing the Thomson Reuters Web of Science, the top 15 journals rank-ordered by impact factor in each of 10 major medical subspecialties were identified. The 2012 impact factors for these journals were noted.
Background/purpose: Breast masses in the pediatric population cause patient and family concern, partially driven by public awareness of adult breast cancer. However, the spectrum of breast masses in children differs greatly from that in adults, and malignancy is exceedingly rare. The American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) ultrasound-based classification system is the diagnostic standard, yet no study has validated BI-RADS in pediatric patients.

Previous research has shown that screening mammography contributes to reduced breast cancer mortality. This study aimed to clarify why late screening might occur in an at-risk population.

Objective: This study assessed the potential for decreasing the field of view of the CT (and therefore the dose to the patient) in the evaluation of suspected acute appendicitis in children.
