    Episode 29: Imaging of Ovarian Masses

    Classifying and categorizing ovarian masses can feel like a daunting task for radiology trainees. In this episode Dr. Alan Goldstein will discuss with us his approach to these lesions to help simplify the process. First, a few mimics and pitfalls will be presented. Then Dr. Goldstein will break down the three basic types of ovarian tumors with an emphasis on imaging features: 1. First, make sure the mass is truly ovarian in origin (A) Appendiceal mucocele, peritoneal inclusion cyst, hydrosalpinx, subserosal fibroid, endometrioma, metastasis 2. Then break it down (A) Epithelial tumors (cystic with solid components) - Benign - Borderline - Malignant (B) Sex cord stromal tumors (solid with cystic components) - Fibroma - Other stuff (C) Germ cells tumors (bizarre masses in young patients) - Dermoid cyst - Other stuff Hosts: Christopher Cerniglia, DO, ME, FAOCR.

  2. Episode 27: Gadolinium Based Contrast Agents (Part 1) - Intro & Safety

    03/08/2021

    Episode 27: Gadolinium Based Contrast Agents (Part 1) - Intro & Safety

    In this episode we discuss Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) or media (GBCM). Building on previous discussions of MRI safety (Ep9 & 11) and Contrast and Adverse Reactions from Ep 5 & 6, this episode will introduce MRI contrast agents (GBCA or GBCM), their make-up, categories and general safety profiles. m including some of the inherent safety issues that arise from them; the concept of safety zones and its importance; examples of unique safety issues in MRI, and the screening process. Summary of some common GBCA and their trade names includes: Gadoteridol (ProHance) - Macrocyclic - Nonionic Gadobutrol (Gadavist) - Macrocyclic - Nonionic Gadoterate (Dotarem) - Macrocyclic - Ionic Gadodiamide (Omniscan) - Linear - Nonionic Gadoversetamide (Optimark) - Linear - Nonionic Gadobenate (MultiHance) - Linear - Ionic Gadopentetate dimeglumine (Magnevist) - Linear - Ionic This is part one of a two-part series on the basics of GBCA.

    Special Episode 24: Economic History of Radiology (Part 2) - Advanced Imaging & Bubble Years

    In this episode we continue discussing a historical perspective of the economics of radiology. In part 2 of this 4 part series, Prof. Levy and Dr. Rosen present changes which occurred in radiology after Medicare, including advanced imaging and how this affected cost and the radiology job market. We continue by discussing how these changes led to the bubble years of the 1990s. Hosts: Christopher Cerniglia, DO, ME, FAOCR.
