Use of the lateral arm in tomosynthesis-guided SCOUT Reflector placement procedures
Preoperative localization procedures are important for guiding surgical excision of non-palpable findings in the breast. The SCOUT Reflector (Merit Medical, South Jordan UT, USA) is a non-wire-based localization device that has been incorporated into clinical use with great success. SCOUT Reflectors can be placed using several imaging modalities, including tomosynthesis. One drawback to SCOUT Reflector placement under tomosynthesis guidance is an inability to directly visualize the introducer needle tip, a factor that limits precision. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

Workflow interruptions in an era of instant messaging: A detailed analysis
The complex practice environment and responsibilities incumbent on diagnostic radiologists creates a workflow susceptible to disruption. While interruptions have been shown to contribute to medical errors in the healthcare delivery environment, the exact impact on highly subspecialized services such as diagnostic radiology is less certain. One potential source of workflow disruption is the use of a departmental instant messaging system (Webex), to facilitate communications between radiology faculty, residents, fellows, and technologists.

Whole-body MRI in oncology: A comprehensive review
Whole-Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (WB-MRI) has cemented its position as a pivotal tool in oncological diagnostics. It offers unparalleled soft tissue contrast resolution and the advantage of sidestepping ionizing radiation. This review explores the diverse applications of WB-MRI in oncology. We discuss its transformative role in detecting and diagnosing a spectrum of cancers, emphasizing conditions like multiple myeloma and cancers with a proclivity for bone metastases. WB-MRI's capability to encompass the entire body in a singular scan has ushered in novel paradigms in cancer screening, especially for individuals harb...

When vision meets reality: Exploring the clinical applicability of GPT-4 with vision
In November 2023, OpenAI introduced the latest iteration of ChatGPT, which integrated a novel architecture called Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) 4 with vision capabilities (GPT-4V). Different from the previous text-only architectures, GPT-4V is a “multimodal” large language model (LLM) capable of understanding both texts and images.1,2 In addition to the text corpora used in the training of previous GPT models, GPT-4V's training also included a vast collection of image and text caption pairings sourced from the internet.
