Imaging in the emergency department has continued to increase over the years with the growth of head and neck CTA disproportionately higher than other neuroimaging. In this episode, Sara Tedla MD, discusses a recently published study in AJR, which characterizes utilization of head and neck CTA in the ED, and frequency of non-routine results communication among patients' chief concerns.

Early and mild stages of intersitial lung disease can be challenging to evaluate by radiography. A commercially available deep learning algorithm to detect reticular opacities in surgically confirmed interstitial lung disease was more accurate than radiologists. Gregory Lee, MD discusses a new AJR article that examines the use of a deep learning algorithm tool increased interobserver agreement for readers, as well as increased the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the radiologist.

In patients at high risk for hepatocellular carcinoma, progression to higher categories from LR-2 and LR-3 observations remains a concern with surveillance of these lesions. Tune into this podcast to hear the results of a recently published study in AJR that found low progression rates of LR-2 and LR-3 observations with insights and comments from our special guest, the developer and leader of LI-RADS, Claude Sirlin, MD, who is an abdominal radiologist and professor at the University of California San Diego.

Percutaneous ablation is an effective treatment for sarcoma lung metastases that improves survival with minimal damage to healthy lung. Two increasingly used ablation modalities, microwave ablation and cryoablation, have not been directly compared. Liwei Jiang, MD, discusses a new study that compares the outcomes following microwave ablation and cryoablation of sarcoma lung metastases.

Rosalind Gerson, PGY3 discusses a new study which shows that applying deep learning reconstruction to accelerated shoulder MRI improves image quality and decreases artifact severity to a level similar to that of standard sequences, without compromising sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy.

Comparing Imaging Modalities in the Detection of Sporadic Primary Pheochromocytoma Oct 19, 2021

Show notes

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/abs/10.2214/AJR.21.26071

Wenhui Zhou, MD, PhD reviews a recent AJR article examining the diagnostic performance of six different imaging modalities in the detection of sporadic pheochromocytoma, and the science behind several radiotracers used in the detection of pheochromocytoma. This study supports the use of 18F-FDOPA as the first-line imaging modality in the workup of suspected adrenal pheochromocytoma.
