Clinical decision support (CDS) may positively affect patient care in radiology by encouraging high-value imaging, usually via society guidelines. Given recent national initiatives for high-value imaging, imaging-related CDS was deployed by many hospital systems. Existing studies show modest reduction in low-utility imaging following CDS implementation. With the adoption of pediatric-specific imaging guidelines at our institution, we seek to evaluate the direct impact of CDS on clinician orders, particularly in the emergency department (ED).

Radiologists spend a disproportionate amount of time at their PACS workstations, both in the hospital and at home. While many institutions have deployed basic ergonomic accommodations such as high quality chairs and adjustable desks, they continue to use basic keyboards and mice with minimal supportive technologies. Research in other domains has shown that providing workers with control over their environment can result in improvement in wellness and potential reduction in burnout, along with bolstering productivity. We aim to examine of the benefits relative to costs of giving radiologists control over the types of ergonomic equipment and inclusion of supportive hardware for their work. Read More

Neck/airway radiographs in children are difficult due to variable soft tissues from swallowing/crying and positioning; short necks and limited cooperation further impact quality. No pediatric image-quality or technique guidelines exist. We aimed to develop a quantitative image-quality assessment tool. Read More

Self-resolving ileocolic intussusception (ICI) represents a variant of intussusception. Although this transient form is encountered clinically on a sporadic basis, descriptive imaging criteria summarizing a cohort of self-resolving intussusceptions is lacking. This study aimed to characterize the imaging features of spontaneously resolving ICI and to assess inter-rater agreement among pediatric radiologists. Read More
