In an effort to improve communication of important radiology findings, we designed and deployed a unique comprehensive radiology report categorization (RADCAT) system that organizes results by acuity and need for radiology follow-up. The goal of our study is to outline and compare the distribution of RADCAT pediatric imaging reports from three different clinical settings. Read More

1. Highlight recent literature on ultrasound (US) imaging of the spermatic cord for testicular torsion. 2. Present illustrative cases of testicular torsion from our institution that demonstrate the spectrum of US findings, highlighting the importance of evaluating the spermatic cord and how relying solely on grayscale US and doppler of the testicle itself can be misleading in the setting of torsion. 3. Encourage real-time US evaluation of the spermatic cord in all suspected cases of testicular torsion. Read More

Rapid, non-contrast MRI has been reported as accurate for diagnosing acute appendicitis at specialized pediatric hospitals, but there remains a dearth of evidence-based, MRI-specific criteria upon which the diagnosis should be established. To our knowledge, our study comprises the largest study with the most independent readers of MRI-specific diagnostic criteria for pediatric appendicitis reported to date. Read More
