Improving radiology workflow using ChatGPT and artificial intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. One of the branches of artificial intelligence is natural language processing, which is dedicated to studying the interaction between computers and human language. ChatGPT is a sophisticated natural language processing tool that can understand and respond to complex questions and commands in natural language.Radiology is a vital aspect of modern medicine that involves the use of imaging technologies to diagnose and treat medical conditions artificial intelli...

The impact of gamification and potential of kaizen in radiology education
Gamification is an emerging tool in medical education that has been increasingly adopted in the field of radiology. The purpose of this non-systematic review is to explore the use of gamification in medical education with a particular focus on new generations of learners and radiology education. This manuscript begins by examining the effectiveness of gamification in improving learning outcomes in medicine and radiology. Future research recommendations and the potential impact of gamification on new learners are discussed. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

Mid-to-long-term outcomes with image-guided placement of de novo low-profile gastrojejunostomy tubes in pediatric patients
De novo low-profile gastrojejunostomy (GJ) tubes are advantageous in children that require prolonged supplemental nutrition. However, few institutions place these devices at the time of initial feeding tube placement. We aim to build upon our previously published initial experience with this procedure to study mid-to-long-term outcomes of pediatric patients who have had de novo, image-guided, percutaneous low-profile GJ tube placement.

Imaging of solitary and multiple osteochondromas: From head to toe — A review
Osteochondromas account for 20% –50% of all benign bone lesions. These tumors may present as solitary non-hereditary lesions, which are the most common presentation, or as multiple tumors associated with hereditary conditions. Plain radiography is the imaging method of choice and demonstrates the typical cortical and medullary c ontinuity of the tumor with the underlying bone. Magnetic resonance imaging is often performed to evaluate cartilage cap thickness, which correlates with malignant transformation. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

Lymph node metastases in breast cancer: Mechanisms and molecular imaging
Breast cancer is the most common malignant disease of women in the world. Breast cancer often metastasizes to axillary lymph nodes. Accurate assessment of the status of axillary lymph nodes is crucial to the staging and treatment of breast cancer. None of the methods used clinically for preoperative noninvasive examination of axillary lymph nodes can accurately identify cancer cells from a molecular level. In recent years, with the in-depth study of lymph node metastases, the mechanisms and molecular imaging of lymph node metastases in breast cancer have been reported. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

CT imaging features of bile duct stent complications
Biliary stents have been widely used to treat both malignant and benign biliary obstruction. Biliary stenting serves as a temporary measure to maintain ductal patency and promote bile drainage. Biliary decompression can help relieve clinical symptoms of pain, obstructive jaundice, pruritis, fat malabsorption, and failure to thrive and prevent disease progression, such as secondary biliary cirrhosis and end-stage liver failure. Endoscopic placement of biliary endoprosthesis is a minimally invasive procedure well tolerated by most patients but is not without problems. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

Developing strategies to improve the sense of belonging and mitigate tokenism
Despite the increase in DEI initiatives and the rising social awareness, diversity, equity, and inclusiveness are still scarce in many work environments. In the process of implementing a diverse group in the workplace and training programs, retention efforts should always follow recruitment strategies; it is crucial to establish an environment that offers recruited women and minorities a sense of belonging and inclusiveness. Literature shows that diversity and belonging benefit not only the individual, but also the organization, society, and health care system. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

Rate of benign nodule resection in a lung cancer screening program
Screening with low dose computed tomography (CT) can reduce lung cancer related death at the expense of unavoidable false positive results. The purpose of this study is to measure the rate of surgery for benign nodules, and evaluate characteristics of those nodules. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

Assessing cardiovascular risk with mammography and non-contrast chest CT: A review of the literature and clinical implications
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality and disability globally. In the United States, about 7.2% of adults aged 20 and older are affected by CAD. However, due to its progression over decades, CAD is often undetected and unnoticed until plaque ruptures. This leads to partial or complete artery blockage, resulting in myocardial infarction. Thus, new screening methods for early detection of CAD are needed to prevent and minimize the morbidity and mortality from CAD. Vascular calcifications seen on mammography and non-contrast chest CT (NCCT) can be used for the early detection of CAD and are an accura...

Establishing quantitative radiographic criteria for the diagnosis of pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis
Pleuroparenchymal Fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a type of pulmonary fibrosis most commonly occurring at the apices. Patients with PPFE have an increased risk of adverse effects from lung biopsy and in the post-surgical setting. Here, we investigated simple and reproducible measurements on chest CT to evaluate their predictive value in diagnosing PPFE. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

CT-derived coronary artery calcium density is affected by regional lesion distribution and image reconstruction parameters
The prognostic relevance of coronary artery calcium (CAC) density, assessed from cardiac CT scans, is established. However, the influence of CAC distribution, volume, image reconstruction, and clinical factors on CAC density warrants further examination. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

Surgeons and MRI
Over the course of nearly two decades, encompassing dental school, an oral and maxillofacial surgery internship, medical school, medicine internship, radiology residency and pediatric subspecialty fellowship, and an instructor level faculty position, I have worked with several surgeons who are apprehensive and uncertain about the added value of MR imaging to CT. This apprehension leads to decreased ordering of MRI exams, precluding the detection of potentially significant findings. Given my experience in oral and maxillofacial surgery and my current role as a pediatric oncologic imager with specialization in CT-based 3D vi...
