Once the decision has been made to adopt PACS instead of a film-based radiology practice, there are a number of hurdles to jump. Users need to be aware of the impact the change will make on end users and be prepared to address issues that arise before they become problems. Someone who understands the technology of PACS must be identified to help make an informed decision about vendor selection, network architecture, workstation functionality, and archives. A PACS administrator should have the tools available to avoid problems with the system after implementation and should be able to repair the inevitable mistakes that will happen. Hopefully, this article can serve as a starting point for a potential new PACS adoption.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores a blended learning model bootcamp for first-year radiology residents, aimed at addressing the varying levels of radiology knowledge among trainees.
- Over four weeks, 20 radiology residents from two cohorts participated in the bootcamp, with their progress measured through subjective surveys and an objective exam.
- Results showed significant improvements in both radiology confidence and exam performance, supporting the effectiveness of this instructional approach for new residents.
Intervention design for artificial intelligence-enabled macular service implementation: a primary qualitative study.

Population Health Sciences Institute, Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK.
Background: Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is one of the largest single-disease contributors to hospital outpatient appointments. Challenges in finding the clinical capacity to meet this demand can lead to sight-threatening delays in the macular services that provide treatment. Clinical artificial intelligence (AI) technologies pose one opportunity to rebalance demand and capacity in macular services.

Article Synopsis
- Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used in dentistry due to its compact size, low cost, and lower radiation exposure compared to traditional CT, providing valuable 3D images for various clinical purposes.
- A study at Pure Smile Dental Center analyzed data from 70 patients to explore incidental findings in the maxillary sinus during CBCT scans, with a significant number of patients showing abnormalities such as opacification and sinusitis.
- Results indicated that 60% of the patients had maxillary sinus findings, with females showing a higher incidence of these conditions compared to males.
Multiple diffusion models-enhanced extremely limited-view reconstruction strategy for photoacoustic tomography boosted by multi-scale priors.

School of Information Engineering, Nanchang University, Nanchang 330031, China.
Article Synopsis
- Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a cutting-edge imaging technique that creates high-resolution images of biological tissues, but often struggles with artifact issues in limited-view scenarios.
- This study introduces a new reconstruction strategy that uses multiple diffusion models and alternating iteration methods to fill in missing data, which leads to improved image quality and stability.
- When tested on a dataset with only 60° views, the method showed a significant increase in image clarity with improvements in peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity, indicating a promising advancement for clinical applications of PAT.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to analyze trends in the diagnosis of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) from June 2010 to June 2021, particularly looking at any changes during the early COVID-19 pandemic.
- Out of 647 GEP-NET patients assessed, most had advanced disease at diagnosis, with the small bowel being the most common primary site, while early-stage diagnoses saw a slight increase over the decade.
- The frequency of GEP-NET diagnoses remained relatively stable, except for lower gastrointestinal cases, which notably increased after mid-2017, possibly due to the implementation of new detection methods in Ontario.
