Summary: There has been a decline in the relative competitiveness of radiology and the number of first-choice applicants for diagnostic radiology over the past decade. Factors contributing to the declining interest in diagnostic radiology as a career include a lack of positive clinical/mentoring experiences and dissatisfaction with the work environment. Positive interactions with radiologists and mentorship play key roles in influencing specialty choice.

Summary: The study found that children show increased early processing of task-irrelevant information and higher attention to sounds when interacting with a tablet PC compared to a human partner. This indicates potential direct effects of digital media on children's perception and attention. Further research is needed to develop specific recommendations for digital interactive learning programs based on these findings.

Summary: Comparing the performance of radiology resident-performed ultrasound for clinically suspected acute appendicitis in women under the age of 40 with departmental sonographers, similar visualization rate and sensitivity/specificity were found between the two groups. However, residents tended to perform more focused ultrasounds and led to a higher rate of subsequent CT or MRI scans.
