Burnout Among Saudi Radiological Sciences Undergraduate Students During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: The novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has posed unprecedented new stressors and challenges to the applied health sciences' education. This study explored the prevalence of burnout among Saudi radiological sciences students at King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between November and December 2020 among 176-Saudi radiological sciences students, using the 16-item questionnaire of Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey for Students and through non-probability convenient sampling technique.

Assessment of the Response to Abdominal and Pelvic Computed Tomography Report Recommendations: A Single-Center, Retrospective, Chart Review Study.

Objectives The radiology report is the primary form of communication between the radiologists and referring clinicians. It is a structured document containing several key components pertaining to the interpretation of radiological examinations and may require the addition of follow-up imaging recommendations to optimize patient outcomes. This study aims to determine whether follow-up imaging recommendations are being acknowledged and acted upon by referrers.

Incidental Gonadal Vein Thrombosis Diagnosed Using Computed Tomography Imaging: A Single-Center, Retrospective, Cohort Study.

Objectives Gonadal vein thrombosis is an uncommon but serious condition that can be fatal if it goes unnoticed. Up to 80% of cases occur in patients after delivery, hysterectomy, or lymphadenectomy for gynecological neoplasms. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of gonadal vein thrombosis using computed tomography (CT) imaging at our center and to describe associated risk factors.

Patient-Based Dose Audit for Common Radiographic Examinations With Digital Radiology Systems: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study.

This study aims to audit radiation doses of adult patients who underwent common diagnostic X-ray examinations and compare dose area product (DAP) values with the established International Diagnostic Reference Level (IDRLs). Retrospective cross-sectional records of 339-patients who underwent 699-radiographic examinations between October 2018 and March 2019 were obtained. Patient-related factors, exposure, and DAP data were recorded for the six most common examinations.

Unusual Male Breast Lesions.

Most of male breast masses are benign with gynecomastia being the most common entity encountered. Primary male breast cancer accounts for less than 1% of the total number of breast cancer. Male breast can be affected by a variety of conditions affecting the female breast with less frequency due to the lack of hormonal influence and consequent glandular sub-development.

Breast MRI Does Not Help Differentiating Radial Scar With and Without Associated Atypia or Malignancy.

Purpose: To review breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of radial scar (RS) with and without associated atypia/malignancy.

Methods: Twenty-eight (mean age 56.8) patients diagnosed with 30 biopsy-proven RS (n = 25, ultrasound-guided 14-gauge, n = 5, stereotactically guided 9-gauge) subsequently underwent breast MRI followed by surgery.

Can strain elastography improve the characterization of breast lesions identified during second-look MRI-directed sonographic examination?

Purpose: To evaluate strain elastography as a complementary tool for characterization of lesions identified during second-look MRI-directed sonographic examination.

Methods: We reviewed 83 breast lesions evaluated with MRI, secondlook ultrasound (US) and strain elastography in 75 consecutive patients (median age, 56 years). US-guided biopsies were performed in all cases.

The Positive Outcome of MRI-Guided Vacuum Assisted Core Needle Breast Biopsies Is Not Influenced by a Prior Negative Targeted Second-Look Ultrasound.

Purpose: The study sought to investigate the outcome of breast magnetic resonance-guided biopsies as a function of the indication for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the MRI features of the lesions, and the performance or not of a targeted second-look ultrasound (SLUS) prior breast MRI-guided biopsy.

Methods: We identified 158 women with MRI-detected breast lesions scheduled for MRI-guided biopsy (2007-2013). Patient demographics, performance of targeted SLUS, imaging characteristics, and subsequent pathology results were reviewed.

Imaging Features Associated With Posttraumatic Breast Neuromas.

Objective: The aim of this study is to review the clinical and imaging features of patients with a histopathologic diagnosis of posttraumatic breast neuromas.

Materials And Methods: We report eight biopsy-proven posttraumatic neuromas in six patients with a history of breast surgery. Mammographic, sonographic, and breast MRI examinations were reviewed according to the BI-RADS lexicon.

Differentiation of Fibroadenomas and Pure Mucinous Carcinomas on Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI of the Breast Using Volume Segmentation for Kinetic Analysis: A Feasibility Study.

Objective: The objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of volume-based kinetic analysis in dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) of the breast for the differentiation of fibroadenomas (FAs) with high T2 signal intensity from pure mucinous carcinomas (PMCs).

Materials And Methods: A review of records from 2007 to 2013 that were stored in the pathology department database at our institution identified nine patients with PMCs (defined as tumor cells with a mucinous component ≥ 90%) who underwent preoperative breast MRI. The PMCs were compared with 15 biopsy-proven FAs from 13 patients.

Endometrial Cancer: Combined MR Volumetry and Diffusion-weighted Imaging for Assessment of Myometrial and Lymphovascular Invasion and Tumor Grade.

Purpose: To investigate magnetic resonance (MR) volumetry of endometrial tumors and its association with deep myometrial invasion, tumor grade, and lymphovascular invasion and to assess the value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histographic analysis of the whole tumor volume for prediction of tumor grade and lymphovascular invasion.

Materials And Methods: The institutional review board approved this retrospective study; patient consent was not required. Between May 2010 and May 2012, 70 women (mean age, 64 years; range, 24-91 years) with endometrial cancer underwent preoperative MR imaging, including axial oblique and sagittal T2-weighted, dynamic contrast material-enhanced, and diffusion-weighted imaging.

Pilomatricoma of the male breast: sonographic mammographic MRI features with pathologic correlation.

We report a case of 43-year-old man who presented with an enlarging, painless, palpable mass in the left breast for one year associated with surface blue discoloration of the skin. Mammogram showed a well-defined 2.3-cm mass with microcalcifications.

Compression-refractory breast hematoma secondary to pseudoaneurysm after stereotactically guided vacuum-assisted biopsy: the critical role of urgent surgical evacuation.

We report the case of a patient who underwent a vacuum-assisted biopsy of amorphous clustered microcalcifications complicated by a large compression-refractory hematoma secondary to pseudoaneurysm formation. Breast sonography was used to identify an actively bleeding vessel and guide compression. However, due to its unresponsiveness to conventional management and rapid progression, the hematoma required surgical evacuation and ligation of the bleeding vessel.

Mammographic, sonographic and MR imaging features of invasive micropapillary breast cancer.

Purpose: Describe mammographic, sonographic and MRI findings of invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) of the breast.

Materials And Methods: Review of the pathology database identified 43 patients (mean age, 59.3 years) with the diagnosis of breast IMPC.

Infiltrating syringomatous adenoma of the nipple: Sonographic and mammographic features with pathologic correlation.

We report the case of a 39-year-old woman complaining of painless unilateral nipple enlargement for 3 weeks. She had no family history of breast cancer. Clinical examination revealed left nipple enlargement without pain, erythema, or skin changes m no associated palpable breast or axillary masses.
