Mona Shayegan, David Babayev, Rhea Sakaria, Kate Tuchman, Mandana Behbahani and Saatiya Naik

Article Type: Narrative Review | Indexed Archive: Volume 12

Portable low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as an innovative solution to challenges in pediatric neuroimaging, including radiation exposure, sedation requirements, limited accessibility, and the burden of transporting critically ill patients. The Hyperfine Swoop portable MRI system allows for bedside imaging in intensive care and neurosurgical settings, offering a new approach to point-of-care neurodiagnostics....

Accuracy of Provisional Reports by Radiology Residents on Call

Mariam Dean, Hammad Qadi, Ali Rana, Kar Yan Yip and Anmol Gangi Burton

Article Type: Service Evaluation | Indexed Archive: Volume 12

Out-of-hours (OOH) CT and MRI examinations at our institution are provisionally reported by on-call radiology residents and used to guide overnight patient management. We aimed to (1) quantify the overnight discrepancy rate between provisional resident reports and subsequent consultant reports, and (2) explore associations between discrepancies and resident grade, study type, and reporting time....

Non-invasive Exchange of Encrusted Nephrostomy Tubes Using a Modified Sheath Technique: Technical Description and Case Series

Wai Hung Lester Shiu and Kin Wong Chan

Article Type: Case Series | Indexed Archive: Volume 12

Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) catheter exchange is commonly performed using standard over-the-wire techniques; however, exchange may be challenging or unsuccessful in the setting of catheter encrustation. Failure of nephrostomy exchange may necessitate de novo renal access, increasing procedural risk and resource utilization. We describe a modified sheath technique to facilitate catheter exchange in difficult cases....
