Purpose: To assess the impact of a faculty-mentored, resident-as-teacher theoretical-practical breast MRI (B-MRI) course on the reporting completeness and accuracy of "trainee" radiology residents (RRs) with basic or no experience in conventional breast imaging (CBI) and the personal skills and critical thinking of experienced, "teacher" RRs.
Methods: Six teacher-RRs from the Udine University residency program (URP) preliminarily selected and reported 55 B-MRI cases under faculty supervision. Twelve trainee-RRs (six from Udine URP and six from Vienna URP, with basic and no experience in CBI, respectively) underwent seven days of self-study on selected material, followed by a pre-training reporting test (pre-TRT) on 15 of the 55 B-MRI cases.

Background: Thoracic computed tomography scans (CT) are used by several study groups to investigate the circulatory structures (heart and vessels) located behind the pressure point for chest compressions. Yet, it remains unclear how the positioning of these structures is influenced by factors such as intubation, the respiratory cycle and arm positioning.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data of adult patients with in- or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who underwent thoracic CT imaging within one year before or up to six months after arrest.
Purpose: Determining the frequency and distribution of pathogenic germline variants (PGVs) in Austrian prostate cancer (PCa) patients and to assess the accuracy of different clinical risk scores to correctly predict PGVs.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 313 men with advanced PCa. A comprehensive personal and family history was obtained based on predefined questionnaires.
