Radiopaedia Blog

 

Radiopaedia.org and the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR)  are again collaborating on giving you all the opportunity to submit an adult brain case to ASNR 2023 Case of the Day. 

Each day during the  ASNR 61st Annual Meeting (April 29-May 3, 2023), a case will be shown as the official Case of the Day. This had traditionally been 'invite-only', but for a number of years, one of the cases will be chosen from cases you submit to Radiopaedia.org. 

In addition to one ASNR 2023 case of the day winner, we will also be showcasing a number of the best submissions as our very own Radiopaedia.org 'cases of the day' on our home page and through social media. And, as if that wasn't enough, you will be contributing to your personal case library and making Radiopaedia.org even better! 

Prizes

There are a number of prizes available:

Project philosophical doughnut

Project philosophical doughnut was an editorial project to tidy up, standardize and, most importantly, give clinical indications and purpose to our CT protocol articles (hence the wacky name Andrew chose and stuck with).

Radiography training in many institutions around the world is heavily process-driven; that is, radiographers are taught the technical requirements of a CT scan and learn the clinical side on the job. Radiographers and medical staff who understand the reasoning behind CT scans in terms of both the clinical indications and diagnostic goals make for better members of the multidisciplinary team and overall improve their own standard of care in oftentimes busy, stressful clinical environments. 

Philosophical doughnut spanned over one year with collaboration between radiologists and radiographers to update and fine-tune our more popular CT protocol articles.

The project yielded 57 new or updated articles adding to our large imaging in practice portion of the site, including a comprehensive cardiac imaging section

Users can look up CT protocols and gain insight into the technical aspects of a CT as well as the clinical indications and overall purpose of the diagnostic examination.

The team consisted of (in alphabetical order):

  • Andrew Murphy, radiographer, Australia
  • Dr Edgar Lorente, radiologist, Spain
  • Dr Francis Deng, radiologist, United States of America
  • Assoc Prof Frank Gaillard, radiologist, Australia
  • Dr Henry Knipe, radiologist, United Kingdom
  • Dr Joachim Feger, radiologist, Germany
  • Travis Fahrenhorst-Jones, medical student, Australia 
  • Dr Vikas Shah, radiologist, United Kingdom

Project Bone-RADS

Project Bone-RADS was an editorial project aimed at the update and revision of several articles on the most common bone lesions encountered in imaging. It was inspired by the white paper Guidelines for the Diagnostic Management of Incidental Solitary Bone Lesions on CT and MRI in Adults: Bone Reporting and Data System (Bone-RADS) by Chang et al. published in Skeletal Radiology.

From April-August 2022 the following was done:

From February-March 2022 the following was completed: 

The team consisted of (in alphabetical order):

  • Dr Calum Worsley, radiology registrar, Scotland

Project CNS WHO 5

The 5th Edition of the World Health Organization classification of Central Nervous System tumors was published online in late 2021 and included many changes both to the overall schema of the classification of many common conditions as well many changes to specific diagnoses. Additionally, a number of new entities have been recognized. 

Many editors and contributors, first and foremost two Francesci (Francesco Buemi and Francesco (Frank) Gaillard), reviewed and updated over 100 articles, wrote over a dozen new articles and just as importantly deleted or merged many others.
