ReviewThe Lumbar Neural Foramen and Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections: An Anatomic Review With Key Safety Considerations in Planning the Percutaneous Approach.
The purpose of this article is to review the anatomy of the lumbar neural foramen and to describe techniques of transforaminal epidural steroid injections with emphasis on safety. Rare cases of paraplegia have been reported. ⋯ Although no consensus currently exists about which approach is the safest, knowledge of the foraminal anatomy is a key consideration when choosing a needle approach for transforaminal epidural steroid injections.

Burnout: Prevalence and Associated Factors Among Radiology Residents in New England With Comparison Against United States Resident Physicians in Other Specialties.
The objective of our study was to establish burnout prevalence, associated demographic and program-related factors, and degree of burnout in New England radiology residents relative to residents in other specialties. ⋯ A high degree of burnout, increasing over the postgraduate years, was present in more than one-third of responding radiology residents but was present in a smaller percentage relative to residents across other specialties. Radiology residents score relatively poorly in PA and therefore addressing PA may be central to improving burnout symptoms overall.
