Artificial intelligence tools in radiology practices have surged, with modules developed to target specific findings becoming increasingly prevalent and proving valuable in the daily emergency room radiology practice. The number of US Food and Drug Administration-cleared radiology-related algorithms has soared from just 10 in early 2017 to over 200 presently. This review will concentrate on the present utilization of AI tools in clinical ER radiology setting, including a brief discussion of the limitations of the technique.

The increasing availability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the high sensitivity of MRI for soft tissue injury are resulting in the increased use of MRI for the evaluation of acute trauma. As cervical spine injury can have a devastating consequence, MRI is being more commonly used to evaluate cervical spine injury in the acute setting, necessitating emergent interpretation by the on-call radiologist. Unless one is formally trained in a trauma center, the MRI findings of soft tissue and ligamentous cervical spine injury may not be fully appreciated.

Background And Purpose: (1) To determine the prevalence of vertebral arterial ostial stenosis (VOS) as determined by the "gold standard" of digital subtraction angiography (DSA). (2) To learn the correlation between vertebral ostial stenosis and study indication. (3) To determine the ability of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE MRA) and computed tomographic angiography (CTA) to reflect the true prevalence of vertebral ostial stenosis as determined by DSA.
