Removal Of Permanent Ivc Filter, Sarah Aleman, Hector Ferral
Removal Of Permanent Ivc Filter, Sarah Aleman, Hector Ferral
Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
A 53-year-old woman with history of Crohn’s disease was referred to interventional radiology for inferior vena cava (IVC) filter removal with the diagnosis of a fractured IVC filter. At the time of evaluation, in early 2022, the patient reported back pain. No imaging was available when the patient was first seen. The IVC filter was originally placed in 2011. The indication for filter placement was the presence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) shortly after small bowel resection. At the time, anticoagulation was contraindicated. Upon spectral CT imaging, several legs of the IVC filter were found to be protruding outside the …
Pulmonary Pseudoaneurysm Due To Penetrating Thoracic Trauma, Michael Mcmahon, Andrew Ea, Hector Ferral
Pulmonary Pseudoaneurysm Due To Penetrating Thoracic Trauma, Michael Mcmahon, Andrew Ea, Hector Ferral
Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
Background: Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm (PAP) is a rare but potentially lethal condition. Acquired PAPs are most commonly caused by iatrogenic trauma and infectious disease. Infectious causes include bacterial endocarditis, tuberculosis, mucormycosis, and pyogenic infection. Traumatic PAPs can be caused iatrogenically by pulmonary artery catheterization. Very few cases have been described of patients developing PAP as a complication of a gunshot wound to the chest. Radiologic findings of PAP include hilar enlargement or a new focal lung mass on chest radiograph. CT angiography shows saccular or fusiform areas of dilatation with homogenous contrast filling which occurs simultaneously with the pulmonary artery. …
The Relevance Of More Training Data On Accuracy Of Model Prediction On Chest X-Ray, Ardenne S. Martin, Carl F. Sabottke, Bradley M. Spieler
The Relevance Of More Training Data On Accuracy Of Model Prediction On Chest X-Ray, Ardenne S. Martin, Carl F. Sabottke, Bradley M. Spieler
Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to augment radiologist workflow and decrease strain on radiologists. Development of deep neural networks, artificial neural networks with neurons, synapses, weights, and functions, can be used to train AI models, serving as a response to this need. Publicly available databases like MIMIC-CXR and ChestX-ray8 offer hundreds of thousands of chest x-rays (CXR) used to train neural network models to detect and localize devices or disease. These publicly available databases make training AI models on large datasets possible. Once models are aptly trained, however, challenges include implementation into hospital Picture Archiving and Communication Systems …
Effects Of Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines: A Retrospective Analysis Ofbreast Cancer Patients Under Age 50 In A University Academic Center, Kaylee Woodard, Jane Ball, Brooke Morrell
Effects Of Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines: A Retrospective Analysis Ofbreast Cancer Patients Under Age 50 In A University Academic Center, Kaylee Woodard, Jane Ball, Brooke Morrell
Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
In 2009, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) released updated breast cancer screening guidelines recommending against routine screening mammography in women aged 40-49. The task forceconcluded that the decision to start regular, biennial screening mammography before age 50 years should be an individual one considering patient context, including the patient's values regarding specific benefits and potential harms. In January 2016, the USPSTF reinforced these guidelines in their Final Recommendation Statement grading screening mammography prior to age 50 as a Grade C, stating there is at least moderate certainty that the net benefit is small. Despite the USPSTF’s findings, it …

Infection Imaging, Techniques And Trends: A Radiology Research Alliance (Rra) Taskforce Report, Claire Bise, Prabhakar Rajiah
Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
Infectious diseases are caused by a wide spectrum of organisms and can present in myriad fashion. They are important contributors to morbidity and mortality. While some infections are localized to specific organs, others can cause systemic illness. Identification of source of infection is a very important step in the management of infections but may be occasionally challenging due to non-specific symptoms and signs. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and localization of infection. Several anatomical and functional imaging modalities are available, with the choice of specific imaging modality dependent on the clinical presentation as well as availability of …
