Access to radiology reports and images through a patient portal offers several advantages. The purpose of this study was to characterize patient's interactions with their radiology results. This was a retrospective study that evaluated radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography, exams performed between July 2020 and June 2021 for patients aged 12 and older. Exam information, access logs of radiology reports and images, and patient demographics were obtained from the electronic health record and image viewing software. Descriptive statistics were computed. The study included 1,685,239 exams. A total of 54.1% of reports were viewed. MRI and PET reports were viewed with the greatest frequency (70.2% and 67.6%, respectively); 25.5% of exam images were viewed, with the greatest frequency for MRI (40.1%). Exams were shared a total of 17,095 times and downloaded 8409 times; 64% of reports were viewed for patients aged 18-39 and 34% for patients aged 80 and greater. The rate of reports viewed was greater for patients with English as their preferred language (57.1%) compared to other languages (33.3%). Among those viewed, 56.5% of reports and 48.2% of images were viewed multiple times; 72.8% of images were viewed on smartphones, 25.8% on desktop computers, and 1.4% on tablets. Patients utilize a portal to view reports and view and share images. Continued efforts are warranted to promote the use of portals and create patient-friendly imaging results to help empower patients.

The study of scene perception is crucial to the understanding of how one interprets and interacts with their environment, and how the environment impacts various cognitive functions. The literature so far has mainly focused on the impact of low-level and categorical properties of scenes and how they are represented in the scene-selective regions in the brain, PPA, RSC, and OPA. However, higher-level scene perception and the impact of behavioral goals is a developing research area.

Background And Objective: Sparse-view computed tomography (CT) speeds up scanning and reduces radiation exposure in medical diagnosis. However, when the projection views are severely under-sampled, deep learning-based reconstruction methods often suffer from over-smoothing of the reconstructed images due to the lack of high-frequency information. To address this issue, we introduce frequency domain information into the popular projection-image domain reconstruction, proposing a Tri-Domain sparse-view CT reconstruction model based on Sparse Transformer (TD-STrans).

Highly visual and appearance-focused social media often exhibit appearance ideals that center around fairness and whiteness, resulting in the promotion of dangerous over-the-counter skin-lightening products to consumers to achieve such ideals. Our study aims to better understand the skin-lightening claims and products that TikTok users are exposed to on the platform. We conducted a cross-sectional content analysis to examine the top 100 most-viewed videos across the most popular skin-lightening hashtag (#skinlightening) through the TikTok website interface (N = 79) and generated descriptive statistics.
