Radiology program director's perspective on a novel hands-on advanced elective
With the advent of the USMLE Step 1 exam moving to a pass/fail status, Radiology Program Directors (PDs) and Associate Program Directors (APDs) need alternative methods of identifying interested and engaged medical students who are applying to their program. Additionally, undergraduate radiology medical education in the United States varies widely from institution to institution with no universal mandatory radiology component. To address these problems, we implemented an advanced fourth year hands-on radiology elective where the students were treated as first year radiology residents (R1s), giving them resident-level acces...

Single vs. Multiphase Computed Tomography angiography in acute internal carotid artery occlusion: An accuracy and interobserver agreement study
Accurate differentiation between the intracranial and extracranial location of the acute internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion is essential for guiding treatment decisions and mechanical thrombectomy planning. Multiphase Computed Tomography angiography (mCTA) appears to be superior to Single-phase Computed Tomography angiography (sCTA) in the evaluation of acute ICA occlusions. The main objective of our research is to study the accuracy of mCTA compared to sCTA in distinguishing isolated acute intracranial ICA occlusion from extracranial or tandem occlusion.

Cardiothoracic complications of immune checkpoint inhibitors
A paradigm shift in cancer treatment occurred with the advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). ICI therapy has improved tumor response and increased overall survival in patients with solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. While ICI therapy has improved overall patient outcomes in oncology, it has also introduced novel adverse effects called immune-related adverse effects (irAEs). Studies have shown that the development of irAEs is associated with improved overall survival, but certain irAEs like pneumonitis and myocarditis are life threatening, and could result in death if not identified and treated early.

Radiographic grading system for usual interstitial pneumonia correlates with mortality and may serve as a surrogate endpoint in clinical trials
Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP)/ idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IFP) is a relentlessly progressive lung disease with outcomes similar to cancer. We have previously established a radiologic grading system for UIP and demonstrated that it correlates with pulmonary function tests; here we test the hypothesis that it correlates with mortality. Validating a correlation with mortality will demonstrate the utility of this system for monitoring progression over time clinically and in trials of anti-fibrotic agents. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

Epithelioid Haemangioendothelioma; Not simply a hepatic pathology
The objective of this article is to illustrate to the reader that epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a disease that can affect multiple organ systems. While it most commonly affects liver,1 through using cases from our institution, we seek to familiarize the reader with the varying appearances of epithelioid haemangioendothelioma as it affects multiple organ systems including liver, lung, soft tissue, vascular, mediastinum and bone.

Updated trends in percutaneous renal arteriography among radiologists and other specialties
Prior studies have demonstrated an overall decline in percutaneous renal artery angioplasty with and without stenting from 1988 to 2009. We evaluated the recent utilization trends in percutaneous renal arteriography (PTRA) among radiologists and non-radiologist providers from 2010 to 2018. (Source: Clinical Imaging)
