An Evolution of Reporting: Identifying the Missing Link.

In recent years, radiologic imaging has undergone tremendous technological advances and is now a pillar of diagnostic and treatment algorithms in clinical medicine. The increased complexity and volume of medical imaging has led clinicians to become ever more reliant on radiologists to both identify and interpret patient studies. A radiologist's report provides key insights into a patient's immediate state of health, information that is vital when choosing the most appropriate next steps in management.

Reason for Exam Imaging Reporting and Data System: Consensus Reached on Quality Assessment of Radiology Requisitions.

Objective: The aim of this study was to reach consensus on quality assessment of clinical information in imaging requisitions using Reason for exam Imaging Reporting and Data System (RI-RADS).

Methods: A Delphi study was conducted in September 2018 with a panel of 87 radiologists with diverse levels of experience from various settings (community hospitals, private hospitals, university hospitals, and clinics), of which 74.7% completed the survey.

Imaging review of ocular and optic nerve trauma.

Traumatic ocular injuries account for a substantial number of emergency department visits annually and represent a significant source of patient disability. A thorough understanding of ocular/optic nerve anatomy and traumatic pathology is fundamental in the accurate and efficient interpretation of emergency neuroradiology. This article will review relevant anatomy, imaging protocols, clinical symptomatology, and key imaging findings associated with the broad spectrum of traumatic ocular and optic nerve pathology.

Reason for exam Imaging Reporting and Data System (RI-RADS): A grading system to standardize radiology requisitions.

Radiologists often encounter imaging requisitions that lack important information needed for accurate diagnostic studies. Reason for exam Imaging Reporting and Data System (RI-RADS) is proposed as a grading system for evaluation of the quality of clinically pertinent information provided in imaging requisitions. Three categories of information are suggested as key indicators of quality: impression, clinical findings, and the diagnostic question.

Factors Associated With Ocular Cyclotorsion Detected by High-Speed Dual-Detection Eye Tracker During Single-Step Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy.

Purpose: To determine demographic, surgical, and preoperative visual factors affecting the level of static and dynamic cyclotorsion (SC and DC) in eyes undergoing single-step transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK).

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 386 patients with different types of refractive errors scheduled for single-step TransPRK were enrolled. A comprehensive profile of personal, optic, and visual characteristics of patients as surgical parameters were collected.

Comparison of Single-Step Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy With or Without Mitomycin C in Mild to Moderate Myopia.

Purpose: To compare efficacy and safety of single-step transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) with or without mitomycin C (MMC) in patients with mild to moderate myopia.

Methods: Patients with mild to moderate myopia (≤ -5.50 diopters [D]) underwent single-step transepithelial PRK using the Amaris laser (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions GmbH, Kleinostheim, Germany).

Single-step transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy in high myopia: qualitative and quantitative visual functions.

Aim: To investigate quantitative and qualitative optical outcomes of single-step transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK) in high myopia.

Methods: In a prospective interventional case-series, 30 eyes with high myopia (-6.00 to -8.

Effect of Baseline Red Blood Cell Distribution Width on Short- and Intermediate-term Mortality of Patients Under Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Survival Analysis.

Objective: Considering the limited studies specifically evaluating the role of Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), we aimed to investigate the role of baseline RDW in short- and intermediate-term cardiovascular events in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients under primary PCI.

Methods: This is a historical cohort registry analysis of 1161 patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction under primary PCI. According to inclusion criteria, 838 patients were allocated for analysis.
