Midgut volvulus (MV) is a surgical emergency conventionally diagnosed with fluoroscopy. Ultrasonography (US) is an alternate method to expedite diagnosis when a radiologist is not on-site, but can be limited by interpreter and sonographer familiarity with the key findings needed to make the diagnosis. The primary objective of this study was to see if a newly-designed curriculum improved trainee knowledge of US for midgut volvulus. Read More

It is essential that budding pediatric radiologists have well-honed ultrasound (US) skills in order to provide correct image interpretation and excellent patient care. The lack of hands-on US experience is a critical gap in current radiology training. We sought to create an interactive, portable tool to remedy this issue. Read More

Nuclear medicine, which encompasses a variety of body functions assessment, offers valuable complementary functional information to that provided by anatomic imaging. Scintigraphy is often underutilized in pediatric radiology. Thus, trainees may be less comfortable interpreting a pediatric scintigraphic study, especially when requested urgently after hours, given the varying degree of comfort reading nuclear medicine studies amongst faculty. Common pediatric scintigraphic studies encountered in this context are performed to evaluate for CSF shunt dysfunction, gastrointestinal bleeding, brain death, and Meckel’s diverticulum. Other less commonly encountered studies are done to assess for bile leak, post-renal transplant complications, and pulmonary embolism. The aim of this exhibit is to provide a brief overview of the nuclear medicine studies that may be encountered after hours to familiarize trainees with appropriate indications, imaging techniques, normal and abnormal scintigraphic findings, and pitfalls to be avoided when interpreting these studies with emphasis on the unique challenges in the pediatric population, such as the need for sedation.

We intended to develop and test a PACS based radiology simulation program as an objective tool to evaluate residents. We utilized the simulator as the pediatric “end of rotation” (EOR) exam and compared it to our institution’s traditional EOR review. We hypothesized that a simulator evaluation tool would better identify areas for residents to improve, create a clear gradient of resident performance, or identify a struggling resident. Read More
