    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the utility of dual reader interpretation of prostate MRI in the evaluation/detection of prostate cancer, using the PI-RADS v2.1 scoring system.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective study to assess the utility of dual reader interpretation for prostate MRI. All MRI cases compiled for analysis were accompanied with prostate biopsy pathology reports that included Gleason scores to correlate to the MRI PI-RADS v2.1 score, tissue findings and location of pathology within the prostate gland. To assess for dual reader utility, two fellowship trained abdominal imagers (each with > 5 years of experience) provided independent and concurrent PI-RADS v2.1 scores on all included MRI examinations, which were then compared to the biopsy proven Gleason scores.
    Results: After application of inclusion criteria, 131 cases were used for analysis. The mean age of the cohort was 63.6 years. Sensitivity, specificity and positive/negative predictive values were calculated for each reader and concurrent scores. Reader 1 demonstrated 71.43% sensitivity, 85.39% specificity, 69.77% PPV and 86.36% NPV. Reader 2 demonstrated 83.33% sensitivity, 78.65% specificity, 64.81% PPV and 90.91% NPV. Concurrent reads demonstrated 78.57% sensitivity, 80.9% specificity, 66% PPV and 88.89% NPV. There was no statistically significant difference between the individual readers or concurrent reads (p = 0.79).
    Conclusion: Our results highlight that dual reader interpretation in prostate MRI is not needed to detect clinically relevant tumor and that radiologists with experience and training in prostate MRI interpretation establish acceptable sensitivity and specificity marks on PI-RADS v2.1 assessment.

    Abstract Although Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a familiar entity to most radiologists and to pediatric radiologists in particular, it is but one of a group of disorders caused by the overproduction of histiocytes, a subtype of white blood cells. Other less familiar diseases in this category are Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD), juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG), Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). This review describes the classification system, clinical manifestations, and pathophysiology of each disease, with particular attention to differential radiographic findings, including typical locations of involvement and varying appearances at radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and nuclear medicine imaging. Although LCH has a wide variety of manifestations and appearances, classic imaging findings include vertebra plana, skull lesions with a beveled edge, the "floating tooth" sign, bizarre lung cysts, and an absent posterior pituitary bright spot with infundibular thickening. The classic imaging findings of ECD are a perirenal rind of soft tissue and patchy long bone osteosclerosis. RDD has more nonspecific imaging findings, including lymphadenopathy (most commonly cervical) and intracranial lesions. Imaging findings in HLH are broad, with the most common abnormalities being hepatosplenomegaly, cerebral volume loss, and periventricular white matter abnormalities. JXG can manifest at imaging, but radiology does not play a major role in diagnosis. Familiarity with these disorders and their associated imaging findings facilitates correct and timely diagnosis. Imaging also features prominently in the assessment of treatment response.

    Abstract Rationale and objectives: To determine hiring preferences among academic radiology department chairs with emphasis on recent residency and fellowship graduates.
    Materials and methods: With the assistance of the Society of Chairs of Academic Radiology Departments (SCARD), an anonymous survey was distributed to academic radiology department chairs during the time period December 2014-March 2015, with additional reminder emails during the study period. Varied multiple choice questions were designed to gather information regarding program details; qualities most valued in new attending hires; level of difficulty recruiting subspecialty fellowship-trained radiologists; and the effect of the new ABR certification process on hiring practices. Descriptive statistics and analyses are reported.
    Results: Surveys were completed by 79 of 184 eligible academic radiology chairs, a response rate of 43%. The most important hiring criteria cited were expertise in subspecialty, fellowship training, and perceived ability to work well with referring physicians. The most popular recruitment tools cited were hiring candidates from a chair's own program, journal ads, and academic networks. A minority of chairs (16%), primarily those of smaller departments, will not hire new graduates before completing board certification under the new certification structure (P = .0143).
    Conclusions: Expertise in a candidate's subspecialty was consistently cited as the most important hiring criterion. Changes to the ABR certification process, however, will affect hiring decisions, particularly within smaller academic departments.

    Abstract Purpose: To assess the utility of morphologic and quantitative CT features in differentiating abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) from other masses of the abdominal wall.
    Methods: Retrospective IRB-approved study of 105 consecutive women from two institutions who underwent CT and biopsy/resection of abdominal wall masses. CTs were independently reviewed by two radiologists blinded to final histopathologic diagnoses. Associations between CT features and pathology were tested using Fisher's Exact Test. Sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive values were calculated. P values were adjusted for multiple variable testing.
    Results: 24.8% (26/105) of patients had histologically proven abdominal wall endometriosis. The other most common diagnoses included adenocarcinoma NOS (21%; 22/105), desmoid (14.3%; 15/105), and leiomyosarcoma (8.6%; 9/105). CT features significantly associated with endometriosis for both readers were location below the umbilicus (P = 0.0188), homogeneous density (P = 0.0188), and presence of linear infiltration irradiating peripherally from a central soft tissue nodule (i.e., "gorgon" sign) (P < 0.0001). The highest combined sensitivity (0.69, 95% CI: 0.48-0.86) and specificity (0.97, 95% CI: 0.91-1.00) for both readers occurred for patients having all three of these features present. Border type (P = 0.0199) was only significant for R2, peritoneal extension (P = 0.0188) was only significantly for R1, and the remainder of features were insignificant (P = 0.06-60). There was overlap in Hounsfield units on non-contrast CT (N = 26) between AWE (median: 45HU, range: 39-54) and other abdominal wall masses (median: 38.5HU, range: 15-58).
    Conclusion: CT features are helpful in differentiating AWE from other abdominal wall soft tissue masses. Such differentiation may assist decisions regarding possible biopsy and treatment planning.

    Abstract Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common primary malignant tumor of bone that produces osteoid matrix. According to the World Health Organization, OS of bone is classified into eight subtypes with distinct biologic behaviors and clinical outcomes: conventional, telangiectatic, small cell, low-grade central, secondary, parosteal, periosteal, and high-grade surface. Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of each subtype of OS and ultimately in patients' survival because the diagnosis is based on a combination of histopathologic and imaging features. Conventional OS is the most common subtype of OS and is readily identified at radiography as an intramedullary mass with immature cloudlike bone formation in the metaphyses of long bones. The imaging features of less common subtypes of primary OS are variable and frequently overlap with those of multiple benign and malignant entities, creating substantial diagnostic challenges. For accurate diagnosis, it is important to be aware of radiographic and cross-sectional imaging features that allow differentiation of each nonconventional subtype of OS from its mimics.

    Abstract Objective: Visceroatrial situs refers to the position and configuration of the cardiac atria, the tracheobronchial tree, and the thoracoabdominal viscera. Accurate determination of situs is essential because anomalies of situs are associated with an increased incidence of complex congenital heart disease.
    Conclusion: We propose a methodical diagnostic approach to determining the visceroatrial situs and cardiac configuration that predicts the probability and types of associated congenital heart disease.
