Impact of Early Direct Patient Notification on Follow-Up Completion for Nonurgent Actionable Incidental Radiologic Findings
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether early direct patient notification in addition to an existing multistage recommendation-tracking system (Backstop) increases follow-up completion rates for actionable incidental findings (AIFs). Patient attitudes toward early notification were also assessed. (Source: Journal of the American College of Radiology : JACR)

Policy and Process Considerations for the Updated Joint Commission Fluoroscopy Sentinel Event Definition
In July 2021 the Joint Commission (JC) announced an update to its “fluoroscopy sentinel event” (SE) definition, which became effective January 1, 2022 [1]. The previous definition of an SE as a total (cumulative) dose of 1,500 rads (15 Gy) to a single field was, in theory, straightforward, empirical, and derivable. However, complying with the former definition required estimating the magnitude and distribution of radiation dose across the skin surface using numerous technical parameters [2], involving substantial uncertainty.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Mentors and Antimentors
It is well-established that mentorship plays a critical role in career advancement. Effective mentors provide guidance and wisdom at key junctures in a career and often serve as role models. Mentors actively advocate on behalf of mentees and help mentees build their network. But not every mentor-mentee relationship is positive. Antimentors, described as people of influence “whose life choices—personal or professional—have led them to circumstances in their lives that you definitely do not wish to experience in your life” [1], can also provide useful life lessons that can impact a career by influencing key decisions...
