Pheochromocytoma: The Range of Appearances on Ultrasound, CT, MRI, and Functional Imaging
CONCLUSION. Pheochromocytomas are often considered the great mimicker of other adrenal tumors. Because of their varied clinical, imaging, and pathologic appearances, accurate diagnosis can be challenging. The various imaging appearances on ultrasound, CT, MRI, and functional imaging can be complementary and have features that are useful for differentiating pheochromocytoma from other lesions of the adrenal.

Acute Cholecystitis: Do Sonographic Findings and WBC Count Predict Gangrenous Changes?
CONCLUSION. Gallbladder wall thickening and increased WBC counts were associated with gangrenous cholecystitis; however, there was considerable overlap between the two groups. Wall striations and a negative Murphy sign were not associated with gangrenous cholecystitis.

Incidental Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Pancreas: MDCT Findings and Features of Malignancy
CONCLUSION. Approximately 50% of incidental NETs show uncertain or malignant behavior. Solid tumors 3 cm or larger are commonly nonbenign; however, about 30% of tumors smaller than that size cutoff can be malignant. Nonbenign tumors and those with invasive features on MDCT have a higher incidence of recurrence.

Diagnosis and Management of Cystic Pancreatic Lesions
CONCLUSION. The guidelines are as follows: Annual imaging surveillance is generally sufficient for benign serous cystadenomas smaller than 4 cm and for asymptomatic lesions. Asymptomatic thin-walled unilocular cystic lesions smaller than 3 cm or side-branch intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms should be followed up with CT or MRI at 6 and 12 months interval after detection. Cystic lesions with more complex features or with growth rates greater than 1 cm/year should be followed more closely or recommended for resection if the patient’s condition allows surgery. Symptomatic cystic lesions, neoplasms with high malig...

Relationship Between Imaging Biomarkers of Stage I Cervical Cancer and Poor-Prognosis Histologic Features: Quantitative Histogram Analysis of Diffusion-Weighted MR Images
CONCLUSION. Median ADC is lower in poorly compared with well or moderately differentiated tumors, while lower histogram-positive skew in adenocarcinoma compared with squamous cell carcinoma is likely to reflect the glandular content of adenocarcinoma.

Histogram-Based Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Analysis: An Emerging Tool for Cervical Cancer Characterization?
CONCLUSION. The study by Downey et al. in this issue investigates histogram-based analysis for detection of adverse histologic features of cervical cancer, including subtype and grade. This approach offers a more complete assessment of tumor texture and heterogeneity. Given the potential utility suggested by the results of this study, additional larger studies are warranted.

Large Rodlike Calcifications at Mammography: Analysis of Morphologic Features
CONCLUSION. Our results partially contradict the current description (size, diameter, and bilaterality versus unilaterality) of large rodlike calcifications in the BI-RADS lexicon. Content for this descriptor should be modified in a future version of the lexicon.

Can Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Replace Conventional Diagnostic Mammography Views for Screening Recalls Without Calcifications? A Comparison Study in a Simulated Clinical Setting
CONCLUSION. The results of this study suggest that DBT can replace conventional diagnostic mammography views for the evaluation of noncalcified findings recalled from screening mammography and achieve similar sensitivity and specificity. Two-view DBT was considered adequate mammographic evaluation for more than 90% of the findings. There was minimal change in the use of ultrasound with DBT compared with diagnostic mammography.

Assessing the Role of Ultrasound in Predicting the Biological Behavior of Breast Cancer
CONCLUSION. The presence of posterior shadowing is strongly associated with an ER-positive and low-grade tumor, whereas the presence of posterior enhancement is strongly associated with a high-grade tumor and with moderate risk of being receptor negative.

Observer Study of a Prototype Clinical Decision Support System for Breast Cancer Diagnosis Using Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI
CONCLUSION. The presentation of similar cases reinforced radiologists’ confidence rating in the diagnosis of malignant lesions; however, it did not change their confidence rating for benign lesions or reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies in managing patients with breast cancer using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI under the limited study conditions.

Job Satisfaction of Program Directors in Radiology: A Survey of Current Program Directors
CONCLUSION. The job satisfaction rate among current program directors is high, likely owing to feelings of fulfillment in working with residents and feeling valued by colleagues. The major source of dissatisfaction appears to stem from ACGME oversight, which is perceived as excessive and having requirements that change too frequently.

Limb-Sparing Surgery for Distal Femoral and Proximal Tibial Bone Lesions: Imaging Findings With Intraoperative Correlation
CONCLUSION. Endoprosthetic reconstruction varies with the location and size of the tumor, implant designs, and complications. Radiologists need to be aware of associated imaging findings seen in postoperative infection, tumor recurrence, and hardware failure. With a thorough understanding of the normal postoperative radiographic findings after complex reconstructions, subsequent abnormalities are readily identified and timely diagnosis can be obtained.

Renal Epithelioid Angiomyolipoma: Imaging Characteristics in Nine Cases With Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation and Review of the Literature
CONCLUSION. Renal EAML can have a range of imaging appearances and can be indistinguishable from renal cell carcinoma and angiomyolipoma with minimal fat. EAML can be considered when a mass is found that has small foci of macroscopic fat without calcification or when acute hemorrhage of a renal mass occurs.

Dual-Source 256-MDCT for Diagnosis of Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage in Pediatric Population
CONCLUSION. MDCT is a fast and noninvasive technique that allows detailed and comprehensive visualization of APVD characteristics in a pediatric population. High-pitch acquisitions with scanners using a high volume of coverage permit low radiation doses and are an accurate modality for assessing these patients.

Imaging of Postpartum Complications: A Multimodality Review
CONCLUSION. Obstetric complications are a common source of morbidity and mortality for women of reproductive age. Imaging, particularly with ultrasound, is often supplementary to the clinical history and examination in assessing and treating women during the postpartum period. Radiologists should be familiar with the common abnormalities that present in this period and their imaging findings, as well as the wide range of normal appearances the postpartum uterus can assume.

Imaging-Pathologic Correlation of Diseases in the Axilla
CONCLUSION. Although axillary diseases may reveal nonspecific imaging findings, a knowledge of the characteristic radiologic manifestations of specific diseases according to anatomic origin (nodal, accessory breast, adipocytic, fibrous, nerve, vascular, stromal, and dermal) and postsurgical lesions aids in establishing an appropriate differential diagnosis and determining whether intervention is necessary.

Interrelating sentinel event alert #38 with the ACR guidance document on MR safe practices: 2013. An MRI accreditation safety review tool
Abstract When, in 2008, the Joint Commission released its Sentinel Event Alert #38 regarding MRI safety, it joined the ACR's Guidance Document on MR Safe Practices as one of two radiology best‐practice documents establishing MR safety protections. However, particularly for MR providers who held both modality‐level accreditation from the ACR, and enterprise‐level accreditation from the Joint Commission, there has been confusion about which institution's standard takes precedence, or whether there are inherent conflicts between the two. With the release of the 2013 update to the ACR Guidance Document on MR Safe Practic...
