Inter-observer variability of radiologists for Cambridge classification of chronic pancreatitis using CT and MRCP: results from a large multi-center study

Abstract Purpose Determine inter-observer variability among radiologists in assigning Cambridge Classification (CC) of chronic pancreatitis (CP) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT). Methods Among 422 eligible subjects enrolled into the PROCEED study between 6/2017 and...

Changes in inferior vena cava filter placement and retrieval practice patterns from a population health perspective

Abstract Purpose Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are placed to reduce venous thromboembolism (VTE)-related morbidity and mortality, though the evidence supporting this practice is limited. In 2010, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a device safety advisory due to the risk of filter migration, fracture, and thrombosis with long-term use. The purpose of this study was to evaluate trends and predictors for IVCF placement and...

CT-guided cryoablation of renal cancer: radiation burden and the associated risk of secondary cancer from procedural- and follow-up imaging

Abstract Objectives To estimate radiation dose and the associated risk of secondary cancer risk related to percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) and follow-up imaging in a cohort of patients treated for small renal masses (SRMs). Methods A total of 149 patients underwent PCA for a SRM at our institution. Based on CT dose reports, we calculated the mean effective...
