    Abstract Snapping hip syndrome, or coxa saltans, can result in significant clinical manifestations in patients including pain and limited mobility. A variety of both intra- and extra-articular pathologies have been implicated in snapping hip, including an anatomic variant known as the bifid iliopsoas tendon which has been briefly described in the literature. We report a case of a bifid iliopsoas tendon leading to internal snapping hip syndrome which was ultimately successfully treated with surgical release, including review of the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and dynamic sonographic findings.

    Abstract Pediatric post-operative abdominal pain can present a unique diagnostic challenge. The case presented here describes a 9-year-old female who presented with fever and worsening abdominal pain 4 days after laparoscopic resection of a benign ovarian teratoma. Computed tomography failed to provide adequate diagnostic imaging. Ultrasound was subsequently used to rule-out a major post-operative complication and ultimately led to a successful non-operative approach while avoiding repeat radiation exposure. Thin body habitus, increased radiosensitivity of pediatric organs, and increased lifetime risk of cancer complicate the use of computed tomography in the pediatric population. Ultrasound, when correlated to clinical findings, has unique advantages over CT such as detailed delineation of soft tissue structures and dynamic assessment of anatomy that make it advantageous in the pediatric post-operative setting.

    Abstract Background: Point-of-care-ultrasound (POCUS) improves diagnostic accuracy and expedites lifesaving procedures. Remote areas disproportionately underuse ultrasound (US) due to a dearth of US trained professionals, imaging tools, and lack of quality assurance. Handheld US probes have been approved for diagnostic imaging but there have been limited studies examining their tele-guidance features. This study investigates whether physician tele-guidance improved ultrasound image acquisition by untrained scanners.
    Methods: To determine the effectiveness of tele-guidance for ultrasound image acquisition, 30 participants (15 in each study arm: experimental and control) with no ultrasound or medical experience gathered images of the heart, right kidney, and gallbladder of a standardized patient using a handheld ultrasound probe (Butterfly iQ +). All participants watched a standardized ultrasound tutorial video and were randomized into the control or experimental group. A physician assisted the experimental group using ultrasound probe's tele-guidance feature while the control group received no assistance. Time to image acquisition was recorded for both groups, and the images were graded by 3 blinded radiologists using the RACE tool to determine image and diagnostic quality.
    Results: There was evidence that mean imaging time was greater in the control group for the heart, right kidney, and gallbladder (p < 0.0001, all; Cohen's DL: 2.0, 1.7, 3.0, respectively). Similarly, there was evidence that the predicted mean image quality for the heart, right kidney, and gallbladder was higher for the experimental group compared to the control group (3.46 versus 1.86, 4.49 versus 1.58, and 3.93 versus 1.5, respectively; p < 0.0001, all). There was also evidence that the diagnostic quality of images had a statistically higher predicted probability of meaningful interpretation for the experimental group for pericardial fluid, intraperitoneal fluid, and acute cholecystitis (p = 0.003, p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, respectively).
    Conclusions: Tele-guidance improves time to image acquisition and clinical applicability of ultrasound images obtained by untrained scanners.

    Abstract Since the first application of contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) in the late 1960s, the use of US contrast agents has grown tremendously, and this examination has proved to be a valuable adjunct to diagnostic US for detection and characterization of disease. Also, CEUS has emerged as an excellent option for evaluation of indeterminate lesions that require additional imaging, given its excellent safety profile, including that in patients with end-stage renal disease or allergies to contrast material who are unable to undergo contrast-enhanced CT or MRI. US traditionally has been considered the imaging modality of choice for evaluation of the female pelvis, followed by MRI and rarely fluoroscopy, CT, PET, or angiography. CEUS has the potential to add significant value in imaging gynecologic disease, and indications for its use in the female pelvis are expected to continue evolving. It can aid in evaluation of nonvascular structures, such as assessment of tubal patency, uterine cavity morphology, and pelvic fistulas. CEUS can help characterize poorly vascularized gynecologic tumors or tissues with slow flow by using qualitative and quantitative parameters and aid in image-guided interventions or biopsies by facilitating visualization of lesions that are difficult to see with other imaging modalities. The authors provide an overview of current applications of US contrast agents in the female pelvis and discuss associated factors such as technique, interpretation, and image optimization. They also discuss the limitations of CEUS and describe its utility in the evaluation of female pelvic disease by using an organ system case-based approach.

    Abstract Pregnancy is a remarkable time of pronounced growth and development of the fetus. Benign pathologies outside of the uterus, including those containing hormonally responsive tissue which undergo physiologic changes and other incidentally identified lesions, may mimic malignancy on clinical evaluation and imaging. A detailed history and physical exam, ultrasound and non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging features and comparison with prior imaging if available may help to narrow the list of potential differential diagnoses. Follow-up imaging in the postpartum period is often vital to confirm benignity and, in some cases, sampling to confirm the diagnosis is necessary. This review will cover the clinical, pathological and multimodality imaging features of numerous potential mimickers of cancer in the setting of pregnancy organized by organ systems. The goal is to better equip abdominal radiologists to accurately identify benign disease and help guide further imaging or follow-up recommendations to avoid unnecessarily aggressive intervention and improve patient care.

    Abstract We investigated the accuracy of CEUS for characterizing cystic and solid kidney lesions in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Cystic lesions are assessed using Bosniak criteria for computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, in patients with moderate to severe kidney disease, CT and MRI contrast agents may be contraindicated. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a safe alternative for characterizing these lesions, but data on its performance among CKD patients are limited. We performed flash replenishment CEUS in 60 CKD patients (73 lesions). Final analysis included 53 patients (63 lesions). Four readers, blinded to true diagnosis, interpreted each lesion. Reader evaluations were compared to true lesion classifications. Performance metrics were calculated to assess malignant and benign diagnoses. Reader agreement was evaluated using Bowker's symmetry test. Combined reader sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) for diagnosing malignant lesions were 71%, 75%, 45%, and 90%, respectively. Sensitivity (81%) and specificity (83%) were highest in CKD IV/V patients when grouped by CKD stage. Combined reader sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV for diagnosing benign lesions were 70%, 86%, 91%, and 61%, respectively. Again, in CKD IV/V patients, sensitivity (81%), specificity (95%), and PPV (98%) were highest. Inter-reader diagnostic agreement varied from 72% to 90%. In CKD patients, CEUS is a potential low-risk option for screening kidney lesions. CEUS may be particularly beneficial for CKD IV/V patients, where kidney preservation techniques are highly relevant.

    Abstract Our aim was to determine the effect of wearing a surgical mask on the number and type of dictation errors in unedited radiology reports. IRB review was waived for this prospective matched-pairs study in which no patient data was used. Model radiology reports (n = 40) simulated those typical for an academic medical center. Six randomized radiologists dictated using speech-recognition software with and without a surgical mask. Dictations were compared to model reports and errors were classified according to type and severity. A statistical model was used to demonstrate that error rates for all types of errors were greater when masks are worn compared to when they are not (unmasked: 21.7 ± 4.9 errors per 1000 words, masked: 27.1 ± 2.2 errors per 1000 words; adjusted p < 0.0001). A sensitivity analysis was performed, excluding a reader with a large number of errors. The sensitivity analysis found a similar difference in error rates for all types of errors, although significance was attenuated (unmasked: 16.9 ± 1.9 errors per 1000 words, masked: 20.1 ± 2.2 errors per 1000 words; adjusted p = 0.054). We conclude that wearing a mask results in a near-significant increase in the rate of dictation errors in unedited radiology reports created with speech-recognition, although this difference may be accentuated in some groups of radiologists. Additionally, we find that most errors are minor single incorrect words and are unlikely to result in a medically relevant misunderstanding.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the success and safety of routine versus advanced inferior vena cava (IVC) filter retrieval techniques.
    Materials and methods: A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent IVC filter placement and/or a retrieval attempt over a 10-year period. Retrieval technique(s), preretrieval computed tomography, preretrieval venography, and clinical/imaging follow-up for 30 days after retrieval were analyzed. Mean filter dwell time was 134 days (range, 0-2,475 d).
    Results: Filter retrieval was attempted 231 times in 217 patients (39% female, 61% male; mean age, 50.7 y), with success rates of 73.2% (169 of 231) and 94.7% (54 of 57) for routine and advanced filter retrieval techniques, respectively. The overall filter retrieval complication rate was 1.7% (four of 231); complications in four patients (with multiple complications in some cases) included IVC dissection, IVC intussusception, IVC thrombus/stenosis, filter fracture with embedded strut, IVC injury with hemorrhage, and vascular injury from complicated venous access. The rate of complications associated with filter retrievals that required advanced technique was significantly higher than seen with routine technique (5.3% vs 0.4%; P < .05). Longer dwell time, more transverse tilt, and presence of an embedded hook were associated with significantly increased rates of failed retrieval via routine technique (P < .05).
    Conclusions: IVC filters can be retrieved with a high overall success rate (98.2%) and a low complication rate (1.7%) by using advanced techniques when the routine approach has failed; however, the use of advanced techniques is associated with a significantly higher complication rate.
