Article Synopsis
  • Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) can cause severe issues shortly after birth, making early detection crucial for better outcomes.
  • Despite being a serious congenital heart condition, TAPVR is often not diagnosed before birth, even though there are known ultrasound markers.
  • This commentary introduces a new color Doppler fetal sonographic marker that could help identify TAPVR prenatally, potentially preventing life-threatening complications.

Understanding BI-RADS Category 3.

Radiographics

January 2025

From the Department of Radiology, Division of Breast Imaging, UC San Diego Health, Koman Family Outpatient Pavilion, 9400 Campus Point Dr, #7316, La Jolla, CA 92037 (S.F., J.S., R.R.P., H.O.F.); and Department of Breast Imaging, Division of Diagnostic Radiology, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Tex (M.S.G., B.A.).

Article Synopsis
  • The BI-RADS category 3 assessment indicates findings that are "probably benign," with a less than 2% chance of being cancerous, helping to reduce unnecessary breast biopsies.
  • Despite its established guidelines for mammography, breast ultrasound, and emerging MRI uses, there is still confusion and misuse surrounding this category.
  • Category 3 findings should be followed up with short-term imaging to monitor for changes, and it is not appropriate to use in screening studies without further diagnostic evaluations.

Quality Improvement Report: The Sliding Sign Initiative-Facilitating Earlier Detection of Deep Endometriosis in an Academic US Department.

Radiographics

December 2024

From the Division of Abdominal Radiology, Vancouver General Hospital, 899 W. 12th Ave, Vancouver, BC, Canada (E.H.T.P.); Departments of Radiology (E.H.T.P.) and Obstetrics and Gynaecology (C.E.L., A.L.), University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada; British Columbia Women's Hospital Center for Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis, Vancouver, BC, Canada (C.E.L.); and Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia University, Menoufia, Egypt (E.A.K.).

A delayed diagnosis of endometriosis can significantly impact a patient's quality of life. To facilitate an earlier diagnosis, we implemented a modified pelvic US protocol that included use of the dynamic sliding sign (SS) maneuver to screen at-risk populations. The aim of this initiative was to improve both SS maneuver performance and SS reporting consistency to 80% and determine the number of new endometriosis cases identified after US.
