Communication errors: We sought to analyze the types of communication errors in radiology, investigate at which step communication errors occur, and evaluate the impact of communication errors on patient care, customer satisfaction, and workflow efficiency to identify opportunities for quality...

Hyperpolarization is a technology for aligning, or polarizing, the nuclear spins in a contrast agent or metabolic tracer. Agents prepared this way can dramatically enhance nuclear magnetization and, as a result, produce MR signals up to 100,000 times stronger versus conventional imaging. This makes...

In this publication, we show that an 18G needle splenic biopsy is as safe as a splenic biopsy with smaller needles. So, even if it is daunting, you can still biopsy the spleen. Multi-institutional collaboration is the key to obtaining meaningful data. Thank you to the Society of Abdominal Radiology...

In a cohort of 870 patients, we found that the best predictor of bleeding risk during liver biopsy is the highest INR within the last 3 months before the biopsy. This begs the question: Is the time, money, and potential morbidity of INR "correction" with FFPs worth it? Does it actually decrease the...
