Comparative Study
Interosseous ligament tears of the wrist: comparison of multi-detector row CT arthrography and MR imaging.
To compare the accuracy of multi-detector row computed tomographic (CT) arthrography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in depicting tears of dorsal, central, and palmar segments of scapholunate (SL) and lunotriquetral (LT) ligaments in cadavers. ⋯ Performance in depiction of palmar and central segment tears of SL and LT ligaments is almost equal for multi-detector row CT arthrography and MR imaging, with much higher interobserver reliability for CT arthrography. CT arthrography is significantly superior to MR imaging in the detection of dorsal segment tears of SL and LT ligaments.

To evaluate retrospectively the accuracy of multi-detector row computed tomography (CT) in the assessment of serosal invasion in patients with gastric cancer. ⋯ Multi-detector row CT scanning of patients with gastric cancer gave 93% accuracy in the assessment of serosal invasion in patients with gastric cancer.

Comparative Study
Personal computer versus workstation display: observer performance in detection of wrist fractures on digital radiographs.
To retrospectively compare the accuracy of observer performance with personal computer (PC) compared with that with dedicated picture archiving and communication system (PACS) workstation display in the detection of wrist fractures on computed radiographs. ⋯ The results of this study showed that there was no difference in accuracy of observer performance for detection of wrist fractures with a PC compared with that with a PACS workstation.

To determine factors associated with research productivity among all university radiology departments in the United States. ⋯ NIH funding, resident program size, and fellow characteristics are significantly associated with academic research output.

To retrospectively assess the importance and imaging appearance of small (< or = 20 mm in diameter) hepatic arterial phase-enhancing (HAPE) lesions that are occult during portal and/or equilibrium phases and at unenhanced T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and to determine the gross pathologic diagnosis with whole-liver explant comparison. ⋯ The majority (93%) of HAPE-only lesions that are occult at T2-weighted and portal and/or equilibrium phase MR imaging are nonneoplastic, even in patients with pathologically proved HCC.
