Imagine the world without the ACR. Imagine that Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen had died before November 8, 1895. Imagine that Albert Soiland, MD, had not founded the ACR in 1923. What would medicine look like now? The ACR is important in many ways: advocacy and economics, education, quality and safety, clinical research, publication, leadership, and diversity. The ACR is vital to patients, radiologists, and other physicians. The ACR is unique: No other organization or group of societies could fill the void. So instead of imagining a world without the ACR, imagine a better world-one in which patients always come first, and all imaging professionals are active members of the ACR. We are the lucky ones-we can change the world.

Background US shear-wave elastography (SWE) and vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) enable assessment of liver stiffness, an indicator of fibrosis severity. However, limited reproducibility data restrict their use in clinical trials. Purpose To estimate SWE and VCTE measurement variability in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) within and across systems to support clinical trial diagnostic enrichment and clinical interpretation of longitudinal liver stiffness.

Introduction: Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is the gold standard method recommended in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Bethesda IV cytology results are identified in 7-9% of nodules investigated through FNA, with reported malignancy rate in a wide range of 10-40%. The recommended treatment is either surgical or risk additional molecular testing before surgery.

Objectives: To describe the characteristics of patients with Sjögren's disease (SjD) and inclusion-body myositis (IBM), and how they compare to SjD patients with other inflammatory myopathies (IM).
Methods: Patients were retrospectively recruited from 13 French centers and included if they met the ACR/EULAR criteria for SjD and for IM. They were categorized as SjD-IBM if sub-criteria for IBM were met, or as SjD-other IM if not.
