The purpose of this study was to assess the importance of relative value unit (RVU) flow and other factors in report turnaround time (TAT) in emergency radiologic operations. ⋯ RVU flow 60, RVU flow 30, specific attending radiologist, and presence of a resident are significantly correlated with radiology report TAT. RVU flow should be considered when evaluating radiologist and overall system performance with respect to report TAT.

Comparative StudyComparison of Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System versions 1 and 2 for the Detection of Peripheral Zone Gleason Score 3 + 4 = 7 Cancers.
The objective of our study was to compare Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 1 (PI-RADSv1) and Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADSv2) for the detection of peripheral zone (PZ) Gleason score 3 + 4 = 7 cancers. ⋯ There was no difference in overall detection of cancers comparing PI-RADSv1 and PI-RADSv2; however, PI-RADSv1 sequence scores on T2-weighted imaging and DCE-MRI detected approximately 10% more tumors that were otherwise underestimated on DWI and using PI-RADSv2 decision-tree rules.

Slit-lamp ophthalmologic examination and ocular B-scan sonography of the globe are frequently constrained by technical limitations in the setting of traumatic orbital injury. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of CT in acute anterior segment ocular injuries as an adjunctive diagnostic modality. ⋯ Subtle ocular findings are readily detectable at CT and can provide valuable information to the ophthalmologist concerning acute trauma to the ocular anterior segment.
