Objective: Low-dose computed tomography has been proven to reduce mortality, yet utilization remains low. The purpose of this study is to identify factors that impact the utilization of lung cancer screening.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of our institution's primary care network from November 2012 to June 2022 to identify patients who were eligible for lung cancer screening.

Background: Lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography has demonstrated at least a 20% decrease in lung cancer-specific mortality, but it has the potential harm of unnecessary invasive procedures performed because of false-positive results. This study reports the outcomes of a structured multidisciplinary lung cancer screening program in an area of endemic histoplasmosis.

Methods: A retrospective review of patients undergoing lung cancer screening from December 2012 to March 2019 was conducted.

Rationale And Objectives: Following state and institutional guidelines, our Radiology department launched the "Recover Wisely" for all nonurgent radiology care on May 4, 2020. Our objective is to report our practice implementation and experience of COVID-19 recovery during the resumption of routine imaging at a tertiary academic medical center.

Materials And Methods: We used the SQUIRE 2.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a recently emerged lower respiratory tract illness, has quickly become a pandemic. The purpose of this review is to discuss and differentiate typical imaging findings of COVID-19 from those of other diseases, which can appear similar in the first instance. The typical CT findings of COVID-19 are bilateral and peripheral predominant ground-glass opacities.

Objective: To meet hospital preparedness for the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and ACR recommended delay of all nonemergent tests and elective procedures. The purpose of this article is to report our experience for rescheduling nonemergent imaging and procedures during the pandemic at our tertiary academic institution.

Methods: We rescheduled the nonemergent imaging and procedures in our hospitals and outpatient centers from March 16 to May 4, 2020.

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) classically consists of four characteristic features-right ventricular outflow obstruction, right ventricular hypertrophy, ventricular septal defect and an overriding aorta. In addition there are multiple other associated cardiac anomalies, including coronary artery anomalies. In this review, the role of CT angiography and the spectrum of coronary anomalies will be discussed along with importance of such anomalies in the context of surgery.

Obstruction of the superior vena cava (SVC) or inferior vena cava (IVC) is most commonly an acquired condition, typically caused by malignancy, benign conditions such as mediastinal fibrosis, and iatrogenic causes such as venous catheterization. In the event of chronic occlusion, collateral pathways must develop to maintain venous drainage. The major collateral pathways seen with SVC or IVC obstruction are well described and include the azygos-hemiazygos, internal and external mammary, lateral thoracic, and vertebral pathways.

Objective: The purpose of our study was to determine the incidence of cysts in and adjacent to the lesser tuberosity and their association with rotator cuff abnormalities and subcoracoid impingement.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of 1,000 consecutive MRI examinations of the shoulder was performed by consensus of two radiologists. Cysts were grouped by location into one of two groups: those within the lesser tuberosity and those adjacent to the lesser tuberosity.

Article Synopsis
  • The knee is composed of three main joints: the patellofemoral, tibiofemoral, and proximal tibiofibular, all of which can potentially dislocate, although true dislocations are rare and often revert spontaneously.
  • Lateral patellofemoral dislocations commonly occur in young athletes and may show distinct imaging signs, including contusions and injuries to the medial patellar soft-tissue,possibly leading to surgical intervention if associated with fractures.
  • Tibiofemoral dislocations are infrequent but serious, typically resulting from high-impact trauma, and can lead to additional complications like injuries to ligaments, arteries, and nerves; while tibiofibular dislocations are less common and generally happen
