The member organizations of the Intersociety Conference have agreed that radiology would benefit from consolidation and collaboration of the 50-plus radiology organizations. At this year's annual meeting, the participants concluded that the educational and research missions of the organizations would benefit from the creation of a unified strategic plan that addressed the coordination of annual meetings, online educational materials, research infrastructure, and the creation of a direct relationship between the research initiatives of the organizations and the patient advocacy groups of the Academy of Radiology Research. The socioeconomic mission of the organizations would be enhanced through the creation of a formal communication network with the ACR, and certification could be enhanced by the orchestration of the creation of educational materials related to the maintenance of certification.

Degenerative inter-vertebral disc disease osteochondrosis intervertebralis in Europe: prevalence, geographic variation and radiological correlates in men and women aged 50 and over.
Rheumatology (Oxford)

Objectives: To assess the prevalences across Europe of radiological indices of degenerative inter-vertebral disc disease (DDD); and to quantify their associations with, age, sex, physical anthropometry, areal BMD (aBMD) and change in aBMD with time.
Methods: In the population-based European Prospective Osteoporosis Study, 27 age-stratified samples of men and women from across the continent aged 50+ years had standardized lateral radiographs of the lumbar and thoracic spine to evaluate the severity of DDD, using the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) scale. Measurements of anterior, mid-body and posterior vertebral heights on all assessed vertebrae from T4 to L4 were used to generate indices of end-plate curvature.

The membership of the Intersociety Committee convened to consider how best to continue to stimulate, nurture, and support innovation in radiologic research and education in the face of ever increasing clinical demands and financial constraints. The topic was chosen in recognition that the growth and success of radiology over the past 50-plus years have been driven by spectacular technological developments in imaging and intervention and that the future relevance of the specialty will hinge on how the specialty continues to evolve. To keep radiology a dynamic and vital component of the health care enterprise will require continued innovation in technology and the requisite education that goes with it.

There has been a substantial proliferation in the number of radiology organizations over the past 30 years. This has occurred without integrated planning or the development of a central administration. Although each of the 50-plus organizations was created for specific reasons, the lack of coordination among them has led to considerable duplication of missions, services, and resources.

Am J Cardiol
October 1991
Department of Cardiology, Royal Perth Hospital, Western Australia.
After angioplasty of a previously untreated native coronary artery and after 2 weeks of aspirin therapy, 216 subjects (aged less than 70 years without acute infarction) were randomized to treatment with soluble aspirin, 100 mg/day, or placebo to study the effect on restenosis. Follow-up, defined as angiography at 6 months, earlier angiographic restenosis or coronary bypass surgery was completed by 108 aspirin- and 104 placebo-treated patients. Restenosis (stenosis greater than or equal to 50% plus loss of greater than or equal to 50% of gain, or surgery) occurred in 38 (35%) aspirin- and 45 (43%) placebo-treated subjects (p = not significant).
