The value of structured radiology reports to categorize intracranial metastases following radiation therapy

Intracranial Aneurysm Following Cranial Radiation Therapy

We report herein a case of a radiation-induced aneurysm. A 69-year-old woman presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Eight years previously, she had undergone cranial radiation therapy (total dose of 59.4 Gy) as adjuvant therapy after surgical resection for a chondrosarcoma that was destroying her sphenoid sinus. The patient underwent catheter angiography, which revealed an aneurysm of the ante...

An application design supporting structured radiology reports

Radiologists use medical images to diagnose diseases. Today, medical images are commonly stored and displayed electronically. The radiologist describes the image interpretations in a report, and the electronic viewing of images opens a possibility for the radiology report to become computerized. By creating an application that supports the radiologist’s report generation, tools for creation of ...

The Opinions of physicians about Radiology Reports

Background & Aims: Radiology reports are often the only means of communication between radiologists and physicians. Despite the importance of these reports, practically physicians do not give a feedback about radiology reports. This study was aimed to determine the opinions of specialists towards radiology reports. Methods: in this descriptive study, sample consisted of all specialists working ...

Response of intracranial metastases to erlotinib therapy.

Incidence of intracranial radiation necrosis following postoperative radiation therapy for sinonasal malignancies.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Surgery and postoperative radiation therapy are commonly used in the treatment of advanced sinonasal cancer. However, post-treatment radiation changes to the brain often mimic radiologic findings suggestive of tumor recurrence, leading to potential unnecessary intracranial biopsies. The objective of this study was to determine clinical factors that predict signs of tumor r...
