Journal Article J Vasc Interv Radiol · April 2023 PURPOSE: To update normative data on fluoroscopy dose indices in the United States for the first time since the Radiation Doses in Interventional Radiology study in the late 1990s. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Dose Index Registry-Fluoroscopy pilot study coll ... Full text Link to item Cite

Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Transvenous Biopsy of Retroperitoneal Lymph Nodes: Diagnostic Accuracy and Safety Compared with CT-Guided Percutaneous Biopsy.

Journal Article J Vasc Interv Radiol · April 2023 PURPOSE: To compare the diagnostic accuracy and adverse event rates of intravascular ultrasound (US)-guided transvenous biopsy (TVB) versus those of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous needle biopsy (PNB) for retroperitoneal (RP) lymph nodes. MATE ... Full text Link to item Cite

Utility of CBCT and AVD for intraprocedural diagnosis and treatment of lower GI bleeding.

Journal Article Clin Imaging · February 2023 BACKGROUND: Intraprocedural Cone Beam CT (CBCT) is assessed to examine if use improves diagnosis and embolization rates of acute lower GI bleed (LGIB) and if automatic vessel detection (AVD) software can identify feeding vessels (FV) for embolization. METH ... Full text Link to item Cite

Coaxial Stent Graft inside a Constraining Stent for Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Reduction.

Journal Article J Vasc Interv Radiol · December 2022 A technique to create a coaxial, self-expanding stent graft inside a constraining, bare-metal, balloon-expandable stent for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) reduction is described. The key steps are performed on a back table rather than ... Full text Link to item Cite

Diagnostic accuracy of clinically reported adenomyosis on pelvic ultrasound and MRI compared to surgical pathology.

Journal Article Clin Imaging · February 2022 BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecologic pathology that relies on diagnostic imaging to guide treatment. Accuracy of both pelvic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) when specifically evaluating for the presence of adenomyosis is high. Ho ... Full text Link to item Cite

Hemodialysis Reliable Outflow (HeRO) graft creation in upper extremities abandoned due to stent obstruction via recanalization and HeRO outflow component insertion across stent interstices.

Journal Article J Vasc Access · December 10, 2021 BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and outcomes of recanalization and subsequent HeRO graft outflow component insertion across stent interstices in patients with an otherwise abandoned upper extremity. METHODS: Over a 10-ye ... Full text Link to item Cite

Treatment of Arm Swelling in Hemodialysis Patients with Ipsilateral Arteriovenous Access and Central Vein Stenosis: Conversion to the Hemodialysis Reliable Outflow Graft versus Stent Deployment.

Journal Article J Vasc Interv Radiol · February 2020 PURPOSE: To compare outcomes after conversion of arteriovenous (AV) access to Hemodialysis Reliable Outflow (HeRO) graft vs stent deployment in patients with arm swelling owing to ipsilateral central vein stenosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This single-center ... Full text Link to item Cite

Uterine artery embolisation for IVC syndrome and severe lower extremity oedema secondary to IVC compression from massive fibroids.

Journal Article BMJ Case Rep · November 24, 2019 A 66-year-old woman was admitted to an outside facility with leg swelling and dyspnea on exertion. Initial workup revealed severe aortic stenosis and congestive heart failure (CHF) thought to be the culprit; however, a CT performed in the emergency departm ... Full text Link to item Cite

Evaluating Resident On-Call Performance: Does Volume Affect Discrepancy Rate?

Journal Article Curr Probl Diagn Radiol · November 2018 OBJECTIVE: To examinehow study volume affects discrepancy rates for on-call radiology residents. Inparticular, we studied how both total shift volume and volume at a particularpoint in time might effect performance. MATERIALS/METHODS: Weretrospectively ana ... Full text Link to item Cite

MR Venography of the Central Veins of the Thorax.

Journal Article Topics in magnetic resonance imaging : TMRI · August 2017 While imaging of the central venous system has traditionally been performed with conventional venography, MR venography (MRV) has emerged as an important modality as techniques and validation studies have evolved over time. While magnetic resonance angiogr ... Full text Cite
