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.

Episode 28: Gadolinium Based Contrast Agents (Part 2) - NSF & GDD

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

Episode 29: Imaging of Ovarian Masses

Summary: 
In this episode, we discuss the basics of imaging acutely traumatized patients. We explain the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 trauma centers. We discuss the idea of trauma activation in the emergency room, using the local UMass experience as an example. We describe the diagnostic evaluation process in the trauma bay. Finally, we discuss the modern imaging protocol, again using our local experience as an example.

Episode 1: Congestive Heart Failure on Chest Radiography

Summary:  Dr. Cerniglia presents a simple “ABCDEs” pneumonic (adapted from ABCs of Dr. Forrester’s original monograph Radiology of Joint Disease) to structure an approach to hand and wrist radiographs in patients with suspected or known arthritis:

Episode 11: Basics of MR Imaging Safety (Part 2)

Dr. Sereni returns to continue his discussion on meniscal injuries.  In this podcast Dr. Sereni discusses the evolution of previously discussed basic tears into complex and displaced tears.
Guest:  Christopher Sereni, MD.  Assistant Professor of Radiology, Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging & Intervention, UMMS Dept of Radiology.
Host:  Christopher Cerniglia, DO, ME, FAOCR.  Associate Professor of Radiology, Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging & Intervention, UMMS Dept of Radiology.

Review
•Abnormal signal or abnormal morphology
•Three basic types of tears
-Longitudinal vertical (aka the can-opener)
-Horizontal (pita bread)
-Radial (pizza slicer)
-Complex tear - nonstandard combination of basic tear types

Tears in the setting of an ACL injury - a frequently overlooked setting
•Mensicocapsular separation
•Wrisberg rip 
-ACL tear allows tibia to translate anteriorly
-Ligament of Wrisberg causes traction on posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, causing vertical longitudinal tear

Displaced tears 
•Longitudinal vertical --> bucket handle tear
-central migration of inner portion with or without flipping
-signs - not the be-all end-all 
-fragment in the notch
-double anterior horn
-double PCL
-Small posterior horn/body
•Horizontal tear --> flap tear
-inferior flap tear could potentially go unnoticed on arthroscopy
-boomerang sign
-common displaced tear
•Radial oblique tear --> Parrot beak tear
-Displaced flap 
-Parrot beak appearance on axial sequence
