Development and implementation barriers of a new patient ‐reported measure: The Radiation therapy‐related Inconvenience Questionnaire (RIQ)
ConclusionThis study demonstrated acceptability and comprehensibility of the 29-item RIQ amongst cancer patients undertaking RT and treating clinicians. The next phase will evaluate the RIQ's measurement properties in a larger clinical study. The barriers and facilitators identified can guide future implementation of RIQ in clinical practice and clinical trials. (Source: Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology)

The percutaneous management of pulmonary metastases
SummaryLocal treatment of lung metastases has been in the front scene since late 90s when an international registry of thoracic surgery reported a median overall survival of 35  months in resected patients versus 15 months in non-resected patients. Today, other local therapies are available for patients with oligometastatic lung disease, including image guided thermal ablation, such as ablation, microwave ablation, and cryoablation. Image-guided ablation is increasingl y offered, and now recommended in guidelines as option to surgery. Today, the size of the target tumour remains the main driver of success and selection...

Evaluation of facial nerve perineural spread from cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma using 3T MR neurography
Conclusion3T MR neurography is highly accurate in evaluating VII PNS from cSCC, and thus should be specifically requested by physicians if suspicious for disease. Coexistent V PNS was common, highlighting the need to examine V branches to allow complete treatment planning. The unique radiological patterns identified showcases disease progression. As early detection improves patient outcomes, the radiologist must look for peripheral VII involvement in  specific anatomical areas, which is within the capabilities of 3T MR neurography.

Interventional management of malignant bone tumours
SummaryIn the last few decades, interventional radiology (IR) has significantly increased its role in the management of bone tumours including bone metastases (BM) that represent the most common type of tumour involving the bone. The current IR management of BM is based on the ‘palliative-curative’ paradigm and relies on the use of consolidative (i.e. osteplasty, osteosynthesis) and/or ablation (i.e. cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation, electrochemotherapy) techniques. The present narrative review will overview the current role of IR for the management of BM. (Source: Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology)

The where, who and how of adrenal vein sampling in Australia and New Zealand
ConclusionThere is significant heterogeneity in the availability of AVS, the procedural details and the interpretation of results across Australia and NZ, which potentially impacts the quality of patient care and ability to scale up AVS capacity to meet increasing demand.

Where does the gadolinium go? A review into the excretion and retention of intravenous gadolinium
SummaryGadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are commonly used in medical imaging. Most intravenously (IV) administered gadolinium is excreted via the kidneys, and pathological retention in renal failure leading to nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is well described. More recently, retention of gadolinium in the body in the absence of renal disease has been identified, with unknown clinical consequences. Many patients are aware of this, either through the media or via comprehensive consent documentation. Some internet sites, without hard evidence, have suggested a constellation of possible symptoms associated with GBC...

Hip dysplasia hiding in plain sight: A retrospective analysis of radiology reports
ConclusionHip dysplasia should be considered in all adolescents/young adults presenting with hip pain. Causes of radiologist under reporting are likely multifactorial. Clinical information can cause cognitive biases and result in selective looking. A systematic approach to pelvis radiographs should include assessment of acetabular coverage and active search for evidence of femoral head migration.

Endovascular repair combined with in situ fenestration for new ‐onset or residual arch dissection in patients underwent aortic replacement
ConclusionOur preliminary experience suggests that endovascular total arch repair combined with ISF technique is a viable, effective and safe option for treatment. Our mid-term results have been promising, but we acknowledge the need for further evaluation to assess long-term outcomes and durability. (Source: Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology)

Sharing images on social media without patient consent
The purpose of this article is to initiate a discussion around the growing trend of sharing images of patients' scans without their consent on social media. While there are certainly merits in sharing images on social media, if undertaken without due care, it has the potential to be unprofessional and harmful to both patients and the radiology profession. In this article, I will outline some of the positive and negative aspects of sharing radiological images on social media, as well as some proposed solutions to help improve this practice.

Review Article. Measurement of radiologist reporting times: Assessment of precision, comparison of three different measurement techniques and review of potential applications
ConclusionMRTs are superior to the other methods in flexibility, precision and ease of use. All institutions should have access to this data and we call on vendors of Radiology Information Systems which are currently not capable of providing it to make the necessary modifications.

Renal angiomyolipoma: Beyond size criteria for predicting rupture
ConclusionThe presence of intratumoural aneurysm is a useful predictor for AMLs that are at risk of spontaneous rupture and haemorrhage. Intratumoural aneurysm should therefore be considered when selecting patients to undergo SAE. (Source: Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology)
