    Abstract CT is often performed as part of a whole-body protocol in the setting of polytrauma and is the standard of care for diagnosing and characterizing sacral fractures. These fractures are not uncommon, occurring in conjunction with pelvic ring disruption in approximately 40%-50% of patients. Knowledge of basic functional anatomy and fracture biomechanics is important in understanding sacral fracture patterns, which only rarely result from direct impact. More often, sacral fractures result from an indirect mechanism with fracture lines that propagate along relative lines of weakness, leading to predictable fracture patterns. Each fracture pattern has implications with respect to neurologic injury, spinopelvic stability, management, and potential complications. The authors explore the Denis, Roy-Camille, Isler, Robles, Sabiston-Wing, and shape-based classification systems for sacral fractures. These form the basis of the subsequently discussed unified AOSpine sacral fracture classification, a consensus system developed by spine and orthopedic surgeons as a means of improving and standardizing communication. The AOSpine sacral fracture classification also includes clinical designations for neurologic status and patient-specific modifiers. When a patient is unexaminable owing to obtundation or sedation, CT is an invaluable indirect marker of nerve compression or traction injury. It also plays an important role in visualizing and characterizing the type and extent of any associated soft-tissue injuries that may warrant a delay in surgery or an alternative operative approach.

    Abstract Rationale and objectives: As part of the 2022-2023 Diagnostic/Interventional Radiology residency application process, applicants could participate in the ERAS supplemental application, including sending up to six preference signals and three geographic signals. Our goal was to survey Diagnostic Radiology and Integrated Interventional Radiology applicants at two large academic institutions in different geographic locations regarding their perceived impact of program and geographic preference signaling on the application process.
    Methods: An anonymous survey was sent to 282 applicants between two academic medical centers asking about their participation in program and geographic preference signaling as well as their perception on its impact on the application process.
    Results: 105 applicants responded to the survey (37.2% [105/282]). Most applicants (26% [27/102]) received four interviews from signaled programs. When prompted to best describe their sentiments with respect to program signaling (one being most negative and five being most positive), the plurality of applicants reported a positive sentiment of four (36% [37/103]). Applicants that received four to six interviews from signaled programs were significantly more likely to feel positively towards program signaling than those that received one to three interviews (p = 0.01). Geography was the most important deciding factor on which programs to signal for applicants (57% [58/101]).
    Discussion: Our survey results demonstrate that most applicants felt positively towards program signaling and it increased their odds of receiving interviews from preferred programs, which is consistent with the current literature.
    Conclusion: Program and geographic signaling are relatively new features of the ERAS residency application process and therefore, their effects on the match outcome are still in question. However, our study results indicate that they are perceived positively by most applicants and that they boost their chances in finding their ideal match.

    Abstract Extremity arterial injuries account for up to 50% of all arterial traumas. The speed, accuracy, reproducibility, and close proximity of modern CT scanners to the trauma bay have led to the liberal use of CT angiography (CTA) when a limb is in ischemic jeopardy or is a potential source of life-threatening hemorrhage. The radiologist plays a critical role in the rapid communication of findings related to vessel transection and occlusion. Another role of CT that is often overlooked involves adding value to surgical planning. The following are some of the key questions addressed in this review: How does CTA help determine whether a limb is salvageable? How do concurrent multisystem injuries affect decision making? Which arterial injuries can be safely managed with observation alone? What damage control techniques are used to address compartment syndrome and hemorrhage? What options are available for definitive revascularization? Ideally, the radiologist should be familiar with the widely used Gustilo-Anderson open-fracture classification system, which was developed to prognosticate the likelihood of a functional limb salvage on the basis of soft-tissue and bone loss. When functional salvage is feasible or urgent hemorrhage control is required, communication with trauma surgeon colleagues is augmented by an understanding of the unique surgical, endovascular, and hybrid approaches available for each anatomic region of the upper and lower extremities. The radiologist should also be familiar with the common postoperative appearances of staged vascular, orthopedic, and plastic reconstructions for efficient clinically relevant reporting of potential down-range complications.

    Abstract Distinct breast diseases are readily diagnosed by clinical and ultrasound appearance that radiologists and sonographers may encounter in emergency room and urgent care patient presentations. While it may be impractical or impossible for the on-call emergency radiologist to examine a patient with breast complaints, radiologists can and should adopt the practice pattern to routinely seek out the clinical photographs in the patient's medical record while interpreting breast examinations. Imaging should be interpreted in the context of both the history and the physical findings. Sonographers play important roles in the documentation of visual inspection findings, in addition to performing high quality targeted ultrasound where applicable. This pictorial offers resources to emergency radiologists and sonographers that facilitate rapid accurate diagnosis of ten distinct breast diseases.

    Abstract Traumatic cerebrovascular injury (CVI) involving the cervical carotid and vertebral arteries is rare but can lead to stroke, hemodynamic compromise, and mortality in the absence of early diagnosis and treatment. The diagnosis of both blunt CVI (BCVI) and penetrating CVI is based on cerebrovascular imaging. The most commonly used screening criteria for BCVI include the expanded Denver criteria and the Memphis criteria, each providing varying thresholds for subsequent imaging. Neck CTA has supplanted catheter-based digital subtraction angiography as the preferred screening modality for CVI in patients with trauma. This AJR Expert Panel Narrative Review describes the current state of CTA-based cervical imaging in trauma. We review the most common screening criteria for BCVI, discuss BCVI grading scales that are based on neck CTA, describe the diagnostic performance of CTA in the context of other imaging modalities and evolving treatment strategies, and provide a practical guide for neck CTA implementation.

    Abstract Bloom's Taxonomy, an integral component of learning theory since its inception, describes cognitive skill levels in increasing complexity (Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create). Considering Bloom's Taxonomy when writing learning objectives and lecture material, teaching residents at the workstation and creating multiple choice questions can increase an educator's effectiveness. The incorporation of higher Bloom levels aids in cultivating critical thinking skills vital to image interpretation and patient care, and becomes increasingly important as the radiologist's role evolves with the continued development of artificial intelligence. Following established tenets of multiple choice question writing, involving trainees in the question writing process, and incorporating audience response systems into lectures are all strategies in which higher Bloom level skills can be accomplished.

    Abstract Rationale and objectives: To highlight radiology's merits and boost appeal to medical students in the digital era, it is increasingly important for radiology departments to be readily accessible to medical students. We report the results of a multivariate analysis of the virtual presence of radiology medical student education of 152 allopathic United States (US) medical schools, the first report of its kind to the authors' knowledge. We detail eight elements to include when optimizing a radiology medical student education website.
    Methods: In August 2020, the Department of Radiology websites at 152 allopathic US medical schools were assessed for the presence of a medical student radiology education website and accessibility of collated information about preclinical and clinical course offerings, radiology interest groups, and outreach initiatives in the form of student radiology mentorship, shadowing, and research opportunities.
    Results: 65.1% (99/152) of allopathic US medical schools' radiology departments have a dedicated medical student radiology education website, one of which was excluded from further review due to password protected content. 58.2% (57/98) of departmental websites include information about preclinical radiology coursework and 90.8% (89/98) of departments provide information about clinical courses. Details about interest groups were found on 26.5% (26/98) of departmental websites. Information about mentorship and shadowing was identified on less than half of departmental websites. 51% (50/98) of Department of Radiology websites provide information about research opportunities for students.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the majority of allopathic US medical schools' radiology departments lack full information of relevance to medical students. To engage today's and tomorrow's medical learners digitally, there is opportunity and need to improve the online availability of information about preclinical and clinical radiology courses, student interest groups, shadowing opportunities, student mentorship, and student research. We detail eight elements to include when optimizing a radiology medical student education website. In most instances, this can be accomplished by revising an existing radiology department website in a manner that engages, educates, and recruits medical students. As a specialty, radiology must expand our digital footprint to reach tomorrow's colleagues and leaders.
