Article Synopsis
- Various US-based risk stratification systems for thyroid nodules are used globally, but inconsistent definitions and malignancy ratings create confusion and complicate comparisons between studies.
- Interobserver variability in identifying ultrasound characteristics also hinders the consistent application of these systems.
- In 2018, an international group of 19 experts formed the International Thyroid Nodule Ultrasound Working Group to develop the International Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (I-TIRADS), starting with a lexicon and atlas of ultrasound descriptors for thyroid nodules.
Learning curve and proficiency metrics for transcarotid artery revascularization.

Department of Medicine, University of Maryland, Baltimore, Md.
Article Synopsis
- Physicians improve their skills quickly during the initial cases of a new procedure, like transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR), but their improvement plateaus after a while, which highlights the need to identify when proficiency is reached for better patient safety and training.
- The study focused on analyzing data from over 18,000 TCAR procedures worldwide to find performance measures linked to adverse events, target levels that lower these event rates, and the minimum number of procedures needed to reach these targets.
- The data collected showed that a diverse group of physicians performed TCAR, with significant proportions of both women and asymptomatic patients participating, emphasizing the need for effective procedural training and performance tracking.
Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS): A User's Guide.

April 2018
From the Department of Radiology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 619 S 19th St, JT N450, Birmingham, AL 35249 (F.N.T.); Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, Mo (W.D.M.); and Department of Radiology, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, Calif (E.G.G.).
In 2017, the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) Committee of the American College of Radiology (ACR) published a white paper that presented a new risk-stratification system for classifying thyroid nodules on the basis of their appearance at ultrasonography (US). In ACR TI-RADS, points in five feature categories are summed to determine a risk level from TR1 to TR5. Recommendations for biopsy or US follow-up are based on the nodule's ACR TI-RADS level and its maximum diameter.

Purpose To compare the biopsy rate and diagnostic accuracy before and after applying the American College of Radiology (ACR) Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) criteria for thyroid nodule evaluation. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, eight radiologists with 3-32 years experience in thyroid ultrasonography (US) reviewed US features of 100 thyroid nodules that were cytologically proven, pathologically proven, or both in December 2016. The radiologists evaluated nodule features in five US categories and provided biopsy recommendations based on their own practice patterns without knowledge of ACR TI-RADS criteria.

Purpose To preliminarily assess the potential prognostic value of various fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) parameters before, during, and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT). Materials and Methods Thirty-four patients with osteosarcoma were enrolled prospectively from 2008 to 2012 and underwent FDG PET/computed tomography (CT) imaging before (baseline scan), during (interim scan) and after NCT (posttherapy scan). The study was approved by the institutional review board and informed consent was received from patients.

Methods: Preliminary work was performed by seven working groups of stroke leaders followed by a synergium (a forum for working synergistically together) with approximately 100 additional participants. The resulting draft document had further input from contributors outside the synergium.
Background: Introduction of completely heparin-coated cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits combined with reduced systemic anticoagulation has been shown to reduce postoperative bleeding and requirements for allogeneic transfusions after cardiac surgery. However, some uncertainty exists whether this effect is due to the reduced amount of heparin or to the heparinized surface itself. Therefore, a retrospective study was undertaken, comparing two different anticoagulation protocols applied to coronary artery bypass patients treated with identical heparin-coated CPB equipment.
