Rationale And Objectives: Diagnostic radiology remains one of the least diverse medical specialties. Recent reports have found that the number of female and under-represented in medicine (URiM) residents have not increased despite efforts to increase representation over the last decade. Given the critical role of residency program directors in selecting diverse applicants, this study was performed to identify which strategies were most preferred to increase the number of female and/or URiM residents by directors of diagnostic radiology residency training programs.

Objective: Our aim was to characterize imaging utilization patterns for injuries associated with electric scooter (e-scooter) use, including their initial emergency department (ED) management.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of the electronic medical record for all patients presenting to affiliated EDs for e-scooter-related injuries between July 2018 and April 2020.
Purpose: To determine the views and current practice preferences of interventional radiologists and allied healthcare providers regarding management of preprocedural anxiety.
Materials And Methods: From March to April 2018, members of the Society of Interventional Radiology were surveyed regarding their opinions in the assessment and management of patient anxiety. Degree of responsibility for the management of anxiety was also queried through the use of a scale (1 = no responsibility; 2 = some responsibility; 3 = major responsibility).
