Incidental infectious or inflammatory findings are commonly identified by lung cancer screening computed tomography but determine whether findings have little or no clinical consequence and which are significant enough to require further work-up is not always clear. Kerem Ozturk, MD discusses how adoption of a conservative management algorithm can standardize recommendations and reduce unnecessary imaging without increasing the risk of missing a malignancy.

Identifying primary pain generators with lumbar spine MRI can be a challenging task. Adequate patient symptom information is often lacking and its absence may allow radiologists astray in their own interpretations. Drew Guino, MD discusses the development of a patient symptom questionnaire appears to address this very issue, however.

Show notes

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/abs/10.2214/AJR.20.24758

Kerem Ozturk, MD discusses why awareness of early chest CT findings is required for early detection and accurate diagnosis of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy-related adverse events such as pneumonitis, new consolidation, worsening thoracic tumor burden, pleural/pericardial effusion, and pulmonary emboli in the emergency department.

Gadolinium deposition in pediatric brains when using gadobutrol and other macrocyclic agents Jan 14, 2021

Show notes

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/abs/10.2214/AJR.20.24536

Tyler Richards, MD discusses an AJR article that found no significant increase in the intrinsic T1 signal in the globus pallidus and dentate nucleus after more than 10 administrations of gadobutrol in pediatric patients compared to matched-age gadolinium naïve control and discussion of similar imaging based and autopsy studies.

Chest Radiograph as Predictor and Clinical Guide for Management of Patients with COVID-19: Current Studies and Future Direction Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/abs/10.2214/AJR.20.24801

In this podcast, Pei-Kang (Ken) Wei, MD and Diana Litmanovich, MD first summarized the study by Reeves et al. and then provided an in-depth discussion about the current status and future direction of utilizing chest radiograph as a guiding tool for clinical management. Key aspects of the discussion are the practicality and applicability of the scoring system developed by Reeves et al., chest radiograph as a more desirable modality for evaluating patients with COVID-19 compared to CT, and chest radiograph as an outcome predictor.

Findings of COVID-related Disseminated Leukoencephalopathy Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/abs/10.2214/AJR.20.24364

While the primary manifestations of COVID-19 are respiratory in nature—it has become clear as we take care of patients and learn more that COVID can have an effect on the nervous system. On this podcast, Edgar Perez, MD discusses MRI findings of COVID related-Disseminated Leukoencephalaopathy, which should remain an important differential consideration in COVID patients with neurologic manifestations.
