    Abstract Extra-capsular floating fat may present in a variety of non-articular locations at the extremity. Manifestation of floating fat or fat-fluid level(s) outside of a joint is a marker of trauma or infection. Recognizing radiologic sign(s) of extra-capsular floating fat can aid radiologists to provide an informed differential diagnosis and facilitate clinical care. This review discusses the etiology, mechanisms, and imaging appearance of extracapsular floating fat in specific anatomic and non-anatomic locations at the extremity.

    Abstract In recent years, radiologic imaging has undergone tremendous technological advances and is now a pillar of diagnostic and treatment algorithms in clinical medicine. The increased complexity and volume of medical imaging has led clinicians to become ever more reliant on radiologists to both identify and interpret patient studies. A radiologist's report provides key insights into a patient's immediate state of health, information that is vital when choosing the most appropriate next steps in management. As errors in imaging interpretation or miscommunication of results can greatly impair patient care, identifying common error sources is vital to minimizing their occurrence. Although mistakes in medical imaging are practically inevitable, changes to the delivery of imaging reporting and the addition of artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze clinicians' communication skills can minimize the impact of these errors, keep up with the continuously evolving landscape of medical imaging, and ultimately close the communication gap.

    Abstract Traumatic ocular injuries account for a substantial number of emergency department visits annually and represent a significant source of patient disability. A thorough understanding of ocular/optic nerve anatomy and traumatic pathology is fundamental in the accurate and efficient interpretation of emergency neuroradiology. This article will review relevant anatomy, imaging protocols, clinical symptomatology, and key imaging findings associated with the broad spectrum of traumatic ocular and optic nerve pathology.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to reach consensus on quality assessment of clinical information in imaging requisitions using Reason for exam Imaging Reporting and Data System (RI-RADS).
    Methods: A Delphi study was conducted in September 2018 with a panel of 87 radiologists with diverse levels of experience from various settings (community hospitals, private hospitals, university hospitals, and clinics), of which 74.7% completed the survey. The agreement was assessed in the following subjects: (a) presumed effect of standardization, (b) the standardized system for information, (c) the scoring system for evaluation of requisitions, and (d) the implementation of RI-RADS. The consensus threshold was set at 51% responding (strongly) agree. The rate of lawsuits preventable with clinical information was also assessed.
    Results: Consensus was reached on all objectives of the study with a high level of agreement. Radiologists agreed on the need for standardization of imaging requisitions and attributed it to increased speed and accuracy of interpretations. Three categories of information were determined as key indicators of quality: impression, clinical findings, and clinical question. The scoring system is intended to grade requisitions based on the presence of these categories. Radiologists also agreed that RI-RADS will encourage physicians to improve requisitions. Among radiologists who responded to the survey, 12.6% had experienced at least one lawsuit potentially preventable with sufficient information in requisitions.
    Conclusions: Reason for exam Imaging Reporting and Data System can be used as a standard for quality assessment of requisitions. Its use may improve the quality of patient care and reduce lawsuits against radiologists.

    Abstract Radiologists often encounter imaging requisitions that lack important information needed for accurate diagnostic studies. Reason for exam Imaging Reporting and Data System (RI-RADS) is proposed as a grading system for evaluation of the quality of clinically pertinent information provided in imaging requisitions. Three categories of information are suggested as key indicators of quality: impression, clinical findings, and the diagnostic question. This scheme is intended to improve the quality of imaging requisitions and overall patient care.

    Abstract Background: Selective IgA deficiency (SIgAD) is the most prevalent inborn errors of immunity with almost unknown etiology. This study aimed to investigate the clinical diagnostic and prognostic values of lymphocyte subsets and function in symptomatic SIgAD patients.
    Methods: A total of 30 available SIgAD patients from the Iranian registry and 30 age-sex-matched healthy controls were included in the present study. We analyzed B and T cell peripheral subsets and T cell proliferation assay by flow cytometry in SIgAD patients with mild and severe clinical phenotypes.
    Results: Our results indicated a significant increase in naïve and transitional B cells and a strong decrease in marginal zone-like and switched memory B-cells in SIgAD patients. We found that naïve and central memory CD4
    Conclusion: SIgAD patients have varied cellular and humoral deficiencies. Therefore, T cell and B cell assessment might help in better understanding the heterogeneous pathogenesis and prognosis estimation of the disease.
