Predictive Value of First Posttreatment Imaging Using Standardized Reporting in Head and Neck Cancer.

Objective: The Neck Imaging Reporting and Data System (NI-RADS) is a standardized numerical reporting template for surveillance of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Our aim was to analyze the accuracy of NI-RADS on the first posttreatment fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/contrast-enhanced computed tomography (PET/CECT).

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

The Surgical Intervention for Traumatic Injury Scale: A Clinical Tool for Traumatic Brain Injury.

Introduction: There is no widely used method for communicating the possible need for surgical intervention in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study describes a scoring system designed to communicate the potential need for surgical decompression in TBI patients. The scoring system, named the Surgical Intervention for Traumatic Injury (SITI), was designed to be objective and easy to use.

Characteristics of Radiologists' Clinical Practice Patterns by Career Stage.

Purpose: To assess characteristics of radiologists' clinical practice patterns by career stage.

Methods: Radiologists' 2016 billed services were extracted from the Medicare Physician and Other Supplier Public Use File. Billed clinical work was weighted using work relative value units.

Prognostic value of radiographically defined extranodal extension in human papillomavirus-associated locally advanced oropharyngeal carcinoma.

Background: Pathologic extranodal extension (ENE) has traditionally guided the management of head and neck cancers. The prognostic value of radiographic ENE (rENE) in human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV + OPX) is uncertain.

Methods: Patients with HPV + OPX with adequate pretreatment radiographic nodal evaluation from a single institution were analyzed.

The Prevalence of Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence in Patients With Mastoid Encephalocele or Cerebrospinal Fluid Otorrhea.

Objective: To evaluate the association between mastoid encephalocele or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) otorrhea and concurrent superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD).

Study Design: Retrospective case-control study with chart and imaging review.

Setting: University-affiliated tertiary referral center.
