    Abstract This article reviews regional lymph node assessment in lung cancer. In the absence of a distant metastasis, the absence or location of lung cancer spread to a regional mediastinal lymph node affects treatment options and prognosis. Regional lymph node maps have been created to standardize assessment of the N descriptor. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer lymph node map is used for the standardization of N descriptor assessment. CT, PET/CT with fluorodeoxyglucose, endobronchial ultrasound-guided and/or esophageal ultrasound-guided biopsy, and mediastinoscopy are common modalities used to determine the N descriptor.

    Abstract Pediatric heart disease is a large and diverse field with an overall prevalence estimated at 6 to 13 per 1,000 live births. This document discusses appropriateness of advanced imaging for a broad range of variants. Diseases covered include tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of great arteries, congenital or acquired pediatric coronary artery abnormality, single ventricle, aortopathy, anomalous pulmonary venous return, aortopathy and aortic coarctation, with indications for advanced imaging spanning the entire natural history of the disease in children and adults, including initial diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment monitoring, and early detection of complications. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision process support the systematic analysis of the medical literature from peer reviewed journals. Established methodology principles such as Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE are adapted to evaluate the evidence. The RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method User Manual provides the methodology to determine the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances where peer reviewed literature is lacking or equivocal, experts may be the primary evidentiary source available to formulate a recommendation.

    Abstract Acquired pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is an uncommon occurrence in adults, but one that carries significant morbidity/mortality. PVS can be secondary to neoplastic infiltration/extrinsic compression, non-neoplastic infiltration/extrinsic compression, or iatrogenic intervention. This article: (I) reviews the common causes of acquired PVS; (II) illustrates direct and indirect cross-sectional imaging findings in acquired PVS (in order to avoid misinterpretation of these imaging findings); and (III) details the role of imaging before and after the treatment of acquired PVS.

    Abstract Dyspnea is the symptom of perceived breathing discomfort and is commonly encountered in a variety of clinical settings. Cardiac etiologies of dyspnea are an important consideration; among these, valvular heart disease (Variant 1), arrhythmia (Variant 2), and pericardial disease (Variant 3) are reviewed in this document. Imaging plays an important role in the clinical assessment of these suspected abnormalities, with usually appropriate procedures including resting transthoracic echocardiography in all three variants, radiography for Variants 1 and 3, MRI heart function and morphology in Variants 2 and 3, and CT heart function and morphology with intravenous contrast for Variant 3. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer reviewed journals and the application of well-established methodologies (RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances where evidence is lacking or equivocal, expert opinion may supplement the available evidence to recommend imaging or treatment.

    Abstract Background: Accurate and consistent regional lymph node classification is an important element in the staging and multidisciplinary management of lung cancer. Regional lymph node definition sets-lymph node maps-have been created to standardize regional lymph node classification. In 2009, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) introduced a lymph node map to supersede all preexisting lymph node maps. Our aim was to study if and how lung cancer specialists apply the IASLC lymph node map when classifying thoracic lymph nodes encountered on CT scans during lung cancer staging.
    Methods: From April 2013 through July 2013, invitations were distributed to all members of the Fleischner Society, Society of Thoracic Radiology, General Thoracic Surgical Club, and the American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology to participate in an anonymous online image-based and text-based 20-question survey regarding lymph node classification for lung cancer staging on CT imaging.
    Results: Three hundred thirty-seven people responded (approximately 25% participation). Respondents consisted of self-reported thoracic radiologists (n = 158), thoracic surgeons (n = 102), and pulmonologists who perform endobronchial ultrasonography (n = 77). Half of the respondents (50%; 95% CI, 44%-55%) reported using the IASLC lymph node map in daily practice, with no significant differences between subspecialties. A disparity was observed between the IASLC definition sets and their interpretation and application on CT scans, in particular for lymph nodes near the thoracic inlet, anterior to the trachea, anterior to the tracheal bifurcation, near the ligamentum arteriosum, between the bronchus intermedius and esophagus, in the internal mammary space, and adjacent to the heart.
    Conclusions: Use of older lymph node maps and inconsistencies in interpretation and application of definitions in the IASLC lymph node map may potentially lead to misclassification of stage and suboptimal management of lung cancer in some patients.

    Abstract As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), it seems fitting to look back at the major accomplishments of the radiology community in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Few diseases have so consistently captured the attention of the medical community. Since the first description of pulmonary embolism by Virchow in the 1850s, clinicians have struggled to reach a timely diagnosis of this common condition because of its nonspecific and often confusing clinical picture. As imaging tests started to gain importance in the 1900s, the approach to diagnosing pulmonary embolism also began to change. Rapid improvements in angiography, ventilation-perfusion imaging, and cross-sectional imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging have constantly forced health care professionals to rethink how they diagnose pulmonary embolism. Needless to say, the way pulmonary embolism is diagnosed today is distinctly different from how it was diagnosed in Virchow's era; and imaging, particularly CT, now forms the cornerstone of diagnostic evaluation. Currently, radiology offers a variety of tests that are fast and accurate and can provide anatomic and functional information, thus allowing early diagnosis and triage of cases. This review provides a historical journey into the evolution of these imaging tests and highlights some of the major breakthroughs achieved by the radiology community and RSNA in this process. Also highlighted are areas of ongoing research and development in this field of imaging as radiologists seek to combat some of the newer challenges faced by modern medicine, such as rising health care costs and radiation dose hazards.

    Abstract Heart failure is recognized with increasing frequency worldwide and often progresses to an advanced refractory state. Although the reference standard for treatment of advanced heart failure remains cardiac transplantation, the increasing shortage of donor organs and the unsuitability of many patients for transplantation surgery has led to a search for alternative therapies. One such therapy is mechanical circulatory support, which helps relieve the load on the ventricle and thereby allows it to recover function. In addition, there is increasing evidence supporting the use of mechanical devices as a bridge to recovery in patients with acute refractory heart failure. In this article, the imaging evaluation of various commonly used short- and long-term cardiac assist devices is discussed, and their relevant mechanisms of action and physiology are described. Imaging, particularly computed tomography (CT), plays a crucial role in preoperative evaluation for assessment of candidacy for implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or total artificial heart (TAH). Also, echocardiography and CT are indispensable in assessment of complications associated with cardiac devices. Complications commonly associated with short-term assist devices include bleeding and malpositioning, whereas long-term devices such as LVADs may be associated with infection, pump thrombosis, and cannula malfunction, as well as bleeding. CT is also commonly performed for preoperative planning before LVAD or TAH explantation, replacement of a device or one of its components, and cardiac transplantation. Online supplemental material is available for this article.

    Abstract Accurate clinical or pretreatment stage classification of lung cancer leads to optimal treatment outcomes and improved prognostication. Such classification requires an accurate assessment of the clinical extent of regional lymph node metastasis. Consistent and reproducible regional lymph node designations facilitate reliable assessment of the clinical extent of regional lymph node metastasis. Regional lymph node maps, such as the Naruke lymph node map and the Mountain-Dresler modification of the American Thoracic Society lymph node map, were proposed for this purpose in the past. The most recent regional lymph node map to be published is the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) lymph node map. The IASLC lymph node map supersedes all previous maps and should be used in tandem with the current seventh edition of the tumor, node, metastasis stage classification for lung cancer.
