Summary: This paper discusses the alternate pathway developed by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) to provide foreign trained radiologists with an opportunity for independent radiology practice. Many training institutions are unfamiliar with this pathway, and both the applying physicians and training programs face numerous choices and considerations.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed dosimetric indicators for embolizations since 2012 to evaluate the contribution of new tools and technologies in dose reduction. The results showed that the latest C-Arm technology and the use of CT scan significantly reduced the X-ray dose for embolization procedures, while improving the precision of guidance.

Summary: This study analyzed the incidence and factors associated with cardiac arrest during interventional radiology procedures. Age, procedure urgency, ASA physical status, procedure type, and underlying medical conditions were identified as valuable predictors of cardiac arrest. Vascular procedures, specific types of arterial procedures, and patients with malignancy, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus had higher risks.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of transitioning from free text to structured reporting on the standardization and distinguishability of reporting language. Through retrospective analysis of 747,393 radiology reports between January 2011 and June 2020, it was found that structured reports using standardized language and templates showed higher linguistic similarity and distinguishability. Therefore, structured reporting and the use of factual language can provide more consistent and standardized radiology reports on a linguistic level.

Summary: Leptotrichia species are increasingly recognized as pathogens capable of causing invasive infections, especially among immunocompromised patients. However, there is limited data on the epidemiology, antimicrobial susceptibility, treatment, and clinical outcomes of Leptotrichia bacteremia. Evaluation of patient risk factors, treatment approaches, and outcomes, as well as examination of Leptotrichia isolates over the past decade, provided important insights. Evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility testing is crucial due to evolving resistance patterns.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the use of genetic testing in infants with CDH over the past decade, finding a higher diagnostic rate in complex/syndromic infants but a significant number of cases where a genetic etiology was not identified. Further genetic and genomic studies are needed to improve diagnostic rates and individualized management for infants with CDH.
