Management of Incidental Gallbladder Polyps: Are SRU Recommendations Reproducible? Apr 15, 2024

Show notes

Xiao Xiao Tong discusses an AJR article that found interreader agreement assessed among ten radiologists was substantial both for the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound risk category assignment and for the surgical consultation recommendations. In particular, the variability was less relevant in the recommendation for surgical consultation and in assigning the indeterminate risk category.

In this podcast, Robert Smalley, MD explores Massachusetts General Hospital's adoption of an automated CT protocoling system. He discusses the system's impact on streamlining scans and its potential for broader application despite the complexities in pediatric radiology. The conversation includes insights from Dr. Ryan Chung's interview on the project's nuances and reflects on the initiative's success in efficiency and error reduction.

Adrenal-protocol CT is commonly performed as part of the diagnostic workup of adrenal nodules, in order to distinguish adrenal adenomas from tumors. However, there has been limited evaluation of its efficacy in heterogeneous nodules. Sid Dogra, MD discusses a recent multi-institutional study evaluating different methods of ROI placement and show that adrenal-protocol CT generally has poor diagnostic performance in distinguishing adrenal adenomas and non-adenomas in heterogeneous nodules.

Farzan Sherbaf, MD discusses a study on the need for ongoing research to refine PI-RADS criteria and emphasizes the crucial role of radiologists in contributing to this evolution through continuous follow-up of relevant clinical data.

Free-Breathing Cine Cardiac MRI Sequence Performs as Well as Standard Breath-Hold Sequence Mar 11, 2024

Show notes

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/AJR.23.30272

Peter Gunderman, MD discusses a recent AJR study that finds that a free-breathing accelerated cine sequence with deep learning reconstruction is just as accurate as standard breath-hold SSFP sequences in estimating left ventricular measurements. An accurate free-breathing cine sequence could benefit patients who have difficulty holding their breath and decrease scanning times, but there are limitations to the study that may hinder wider adoption.

Comparative Analysis of Procedural Outcomes When Using High-Frequency Jet Ventilation Versus Spontaneous Respiration for Lung Tumor Cryoablation Mar 04, 2024

Show notes

Rebecca Le, MD discusses a new article challenging the fear of using general anesthesia during percutaneous thoracic procedures, comparing high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) with spontaneous respiration (SR) when treating lung tumors with percutaneous ablation.

GPT-4 Able to Precisely Identify Incidental Findings in Radiology Reports Mar 04, 2024

Show notes

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/AJR.23.30651

Hong Linda Li, MD discusses a research letter highlighting the potential use of GPT-4 into radiology reports to flag the presence of three incidental findings that may require further management.
