ED Case Findings, Practice Management:
On Friday, June 3, Critical Case Findings and Practice Management in the ED capitalizes on the unique perspective emergency radiologists bring to interpreting critical thoracic, abdominal, pediatric, and neuroradiological examinations. Focused on life-threatening diagnoses and the clinical implications of specific imaging findings in various body systems, radiologists at all training levels can bolster their interpretive skills across the broad spectrum of case studies acquired in an ED environment. Recognizing the value of dedicated emergency radiology staffing using a multisystem approach, participants will also learn best practices for adopting or improving their own emergency operations plan.
Imaging utilization in the emergency department (ED) has steadily increased over the past several decades. Data show this is due to both an increase in the number of patients treated in emergency settings, as well as the increasing amount of imaging examinations obtained per patient. Emergency radiologists provide multisystem expertise in acute illness and injury, which has led to emergency radiology rising to the forefront of disaster preparedness.

Also each month, AJR Journal Club authors write questions for ARRS In-Training Members to encourage more thorough participation in evidence-based medicine.
May’s article assesses the diagnostic performance of the liver surface nodularity score alone and in combination with the (FIB-4; fibrosis index based on four factors) to detect advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis and to predict future liver-related events in a multiinstitutional cohort of patients with chronic liver disease from hepatitis C virus.
