    Abstract Background: Financial security and retirement planning are essential for all medical professionals including radiology residents. Given the available discretionary income during residency it is crucial to have insights into investment. We aimed to assess the prevalence of retirement plans offered to radiology residents, the available choices, and their degree of participation.
    Methods: Two surveys were created using Qualtrics platform, one targeting program directors and another one oriented to radiology residents with items focused on demographic, financial status, offered plans, and participation. Analysis was performed using chi square whenever appropriate using Qualtrics platform. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
    Results: 199 radiology residents (72.6% attending university-based programs) responded to the survey. 83.7% participated in retirement plans; university-based programs had the highest rate of offering plans; 82.8% vs 70% and 53.8% for university, community and hybrid programs respectively. The most frequently offered retirement plan was a 403(b). Most of the residents (94.3%) started investment in the retirement program as early as PGY1 and PGY2. A considerable proportion of programs lacked formal training on retirement plans; however, residents emphasized the significance of financial education during their residency.
    Conclusion: Radiology residents are more likely to participate in a retirement plan if it is offered by their program. Providing proper guidance by incorporating financial education into radiology residency curricula can optimize residents' decision making and economical planning, leading to a more secure financial future.

    Abstract Purpose: One possible limitation of structured template radiology reports is that radiologists look back and forth between viewing and dictation monitors, thereby impacting the length of time spent reviewing images and generating a report. We hypothesize that the total time spent viewing case images is diminished and/or the total time spent creating a report is prolonged when the report is generated using a structured template compared with free text format.
    Approach: Three neuroradiologists and three senior residents viewed five brain magnetic resonance imaging cases with unique findings while eye position was recorded. Participants generated reports for each case utilizing both structured templates and free text dictation. The time spent viewing images was compared with the time spent looking at the dictation screen.
    Results: The two main hypotheses were confirmed: the total time viewing images diminished with templates versus free text dictation and the total time to create a report was prolonged with templates. The mean time (s) spent on the "image" region of interest approached statistical significance as a function of the report type [free: attendings = 236.79 (154.43), residents = 223.55 (77.79); template: attendings = 163.40 (73.42), residents = 182.48 (77.47)] and was overall lower with the template reporting for both attendings and residents (
    Conclusions: Template-based radiology reports have significant potential to alter the way radiologists view images and report on them, spending more time viewing the report monitor rather than diagnostic images compared with free text dictation. Many radiologists prefer templates for reporting as the structured format may aid in conducting a more systematic or thorough search for findings, although prior work on this assumption is mixed. Future eye-tracking studies could further elucidate whether and how templates and free reports impact the detection and classification of radiographic findings.

    Abstract Background and purpose: A uniform policy on parental leave in radiology training programs is lacking. Although previous publications have addressed the status of parental leave policy among radiology residency programs, the state of parental leave in radiology fellowships has not been addressed to date. Our aim was to determine the state of parental leave policies in American neuroradiology fellowship programs.
    Materials and methods: An Internet survey was sent to the directors of neuroradiology fellowship programs listed on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Web site (
    Results: The response rate was 76% (66/87). Ninety-four percent (62/66) of program directors claimed to have a maternal leave policy, of which 51/62 (82%) were written and 53/62 (85%) were paid. Additionally, 77% (51/66) had a policy for paternal leave, of which 80% (41/51) were written and 76% (39/51) were paid. The average length of paid leave was 6.7 ± 3.25 weeks for new mothers and 2.9 ± 2 weeks for new fathers. Unpaid leave was mostly based on the Family and Medical Leave Act. Fellows were responsible for making up call duties during the parental leave in 47% of the programs. Radiation exposure was restricted in 89% of the programs during pregnancy. Policies addressed breast feeding and untraditional parenthood in just 41% of the responding programs. Most program directors supported the development of a unified national policy on maternal (83%) and paternal (79%) leave.
    Conclusions: Most neuroradiology fellowship programs have explicit maternal and paternal leave policies that grant paid leave to trainees. Some also offer unpaid leave, mostly through Family and Medical Leave Act guidelines. A uniform policy derived from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and/or American Board of Radiology would be useful and overwhelmingly accepted.

    Abstract Radiologically isolated syndrome refers to an entity in which white matter lesions fulfilling the criteria for multiple sclerosis occur in individuals without a history of a clinical demyelinating attack or alternative etiology. Since its introduction in 2009, the diagnostic criteria of radiologically isolated syndrome and its clinical relevance have been widely debated by neurologists and radiologists. The aim of the present study was to review the following: 1) historical evolution of radiologically isolated syndrome criteria, 2) clinical and imaging findings in adults and children with radiologically isolated syndrome, 3) imaging features of patients with radiologically isolated syndrome at high risk for conversion to MS, and 4) challenges and controversies for work-up, management, and therapeutic interventions of patients with radiologically isolated syndrome.
