Multiple Pulmonary Artery Pseudoaneurysms Secondary to Metastatic Uterine Leiomyosarcoma
We describe a unique case of multiple PAPs secondary to metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma and demonstrate the serial chest computed tomography to support the theory that the tumor begins as a tumor embolus, followed by infiltration and breakdown of the vessel wall, leading to aneurysmal dilatation and invading the perivascular tissue.

The Natural History of a Musculoskeletal Clinical Researcher
Conclusions: This is the first study to provide a road map for a musculoskeletal clinical researcher. This study identifies a need for structural change to support and encourage clinicians to participate in research. This can be introduced through a range of methods such as mentorship schemes, medical school workshops, and academic training programmes.

Creating and Delivering Service Value in Medical Imaging Departments, the Marketing Imperative
In an era of increased pressure on reducing expenditure in health care and a rising demand for high-quality, safe, accessible, and payable medicine, one must use more valued models. Marketing is a broad approach to build exchange relationships, including all aspects of the organization ’s interfaces.This opinion article takes a first step in revealing the marketability of imaging departments.

Cytarabine-Induced Encephalitis
Teaching Point: Central nervous system adverse effects of cytarabine treatment include aseptic meningitis, myelopathy, and more rarely, encephalopathy, seizures, and cerebellar dysfunction. This case illustrates a cytarabine-induced encephalitis with predominant cerebellar involvement. Published on 2021-09-16 00:00:00 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)

Effects of Changing the Reporting System from Decentralized/Modality-Based to Centralized/Subspecialized Radiology on Radiologists, Radiologic Technicians and Referring Physicians of a Multi-Center Radiology Network
Conclusion: The reorganization resulted in a significantly higher perceived quality of radiological reports for the groups of radiologists and main hospital referring physicians besides overall satisfaction for main hospital referring physicians. Specialized main hospital referring physicians value reports of specialized radiology, whereas less specialized, non-main hospital referring physicians did not experience any significant effect.

Getting Rid of Patient ’s Misconceptions About the Radiology Department Using Animated Video in the Waiting Room
CONCLUSION: Animated informative videos help to increase patient knowledge about the radiology department. It moderates expectations, reduces anxiety, and ameliorates the overall experience. Although, the learning curve is steeper in highly educated patients, all educational levels benefit. Published on 2021-07-29 11:16:21 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)

CT-Guided Transthoracic Biopsy of Lung Lesions Using a Non-Coaxial Biopsy Needle Technique: CT Characteristics Predictive for Diagnostic Accuracy and Pneumothorax
Conclusions: High diagnostic accuracy rates were achieved with CTF-TTB using non-coaxial biopsy technique, even for lesions ≤10 mm. Pneumothorax rates were comparable with other studies. Lesion size was the only predictive CT characteristic for diagnostic accuracy. Distance to pleura was the only risk factor for pneumothorax.
