Radiation Safety Knowledge and Perceptions among Residents: A Potential Improvement Opportunity for Graduate Medical Education in the United States
Rationale and Objectives: To investigate residents' knowledge of adverse effects of ionizing radiation, frequency of their education on radiation safety, and their use of radioprotective equipment.Materials and Methods: Residents from 15/16 residency programs at Emory University were asked to complete a resident radiation safety survey through SurveyMonkey®. The associations between the residents' knowledge and use of radioprotective equipment with residents' specialty and year of training were investigated.Results: Response rate was 32.5% (173/532 residents). Thirty-nine percent residents reported radiation safety is dis...

The LISS—A Public Database of Common Imaging Signs of Lung Diseases for Computer-Aided Detection and Diagnosis Research and Medical Education
Lung computed tomography (CT) imaging signs play important roles in the diagnosis of lung diseases. In this paper, we review the significance of CT imaging signs in disease diagnosis and determine the inclusion criterion of CT scans and CT imaging signs of our database. We develop the software of abnormal regions annotation and design the storage scheme of CT images and annotation data. Then, we present a publicly available database of lung CT imaging signs, called LISS for short, which contains 271 CT scans and 677 abnormal regions in them. The 677 abnormal regions are divided into nine categories of common CT imaging sig...

Integration of Scientific Competence into Gross Anatomy Teaching Using Poster Presentations: Feasibility and Perception among Medical Students
This report describes its integration into anatomical teaching. On the basis of the findings in dissection courses from two consecutive years, students worked on either a case report (n = 70) or an original work (n=6) in the format of a scientific poster while learning to use primary literature. Posters were evaluated by juror teams using standardized evaluation criteria. Student perception of the project was estimated by quantitative and qualitative data obtained from the faculty ´s course evaluation and an online‐survey. Overall, students worked collaboratively and invested extra‐time (median [MD] 3.0 hours) in post...

VORTRAN Medical Has Been Granted FDA 510K and CE Certification Approval for The New and Improved Automatic Resuscitator called the GO2VENT
VORTRAN Medical has been granted FDA 510K and CE certification approval for the new and improved automatic resuscitator called the GO2VENT (Gas Operated Ventilator). The latest addition to their product line offers an option for ventilation of patients during an MRI or CT scan. The GO2VENT has been tested per FDA regulations by Dr. Frank Shellock to meet the MRI compatibility testing and has been approved as a MR Conditional device and is perfect for use during a scan. The new model uses Copper springs to remove the chance of artifacts in the MRI picture. The GO2VENT can be used on a wide patient population from 10kg and a...

How Would You Match It? Development of a Case-based Volumetric IGRT Continuing Education Platform
Assessment of volumetric cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images involves critical thinking and clinical judgment. As image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is performed at our institution through daily CBCT, continuing education for radiation therapists is essential to ensure safe and consistent clinical practice. The purpose of this work was to develop an interactive case-based CBCT matching exercise to address continuing education needs of front-line radiation therapists.

An Individualized Continuing Education Approach for Soft Tissue Prostate Image Registration
The use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for prostate image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is limited by soft tissue contrast; variability in patient position and intra-fraction motion of the bladder and rectum affects positional accuracy. The aim of this work is to develop and implement an individualized continuing education initiative for soft tissue prostate image registration for radiation therapists.

Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Education on Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
Conclusions Although a higher survey return rate would allow for stronger evidence, this project identified some areas of education voids including radiation safety and the factors that contribute to patient dose; CBCT basics including instruction on the limitations of CBCT; CBCT anatomy and pathology with additional time dedicated to the paranasal sinuses; and interpretation.

Implementation of Process Improvements to Facilitate Cardiac CT Re-Credentialing in a Rural Healthcare System
Conclusion: In rural healthcare systems, institutional strategies can increase provider access to components necessary for Cardiac CT level II re-credentialing. In the COVID-19 era, rural and urban health organizations may find considerable provider benefit and engagement by using similar process improvement methods to help providers meet local and national requirements for certification.PMID:35022198 | DOI:10.3121/cmr.2021.1650
