🚨Cardiac and thoracic vascular injuries are serious and life-threatening conditions in trauma. Let's go through this bite-sized preview to learn more. Link below👇 bit.ly/4qXqeCY #RGphx @rsnasky.bsky.social @teachplaygrub.bsky.social

Congrats to MI Prof Dr. Elsie Nguyen & her team of Cardiothoracic Imaging Fellows, whose abstract, titled The Thick of It: Approach to left Ventricular Hypertrophy on Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, was awarded the ARRS 2026 Bronze Award for the ARRS 2026 Annual Meeting and Scientific Program!

📌 CT-Based Phenotyping of Bicuspid Aortic Valve: Diagnostic and Clinical Insights Accurate phenotyping of the bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is essential for clinical decision-making, yet echocardiography often shows limited agreement with true valve morphology.

3D volume rendering in cardiac MRI can show heart tissue and blood flow together — helping clinicians better visualize congenital heart defects and inform treatment. It’s a powerful tool for clearer imaging without radiation. Read more: https://bit.ly/3OnPGUh #CardiacImaging #MRI

This R3 Pictorial Essay with CME highlights acute, actionable cardiac findings detectable on nongated CT, including pericardial disease, myocardial infarction, cardiac masses, coronary artery calcification, and device-related complications. r3journal.org/doi/10.2214/...

Exploring recent findings on coronary CTA, this manuscript highlights its incremental prognostic value in predicting first coronary events beyond traditional risk factors. www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/...

✅“Shunting via unroofing of the CS, anomalous or decompressing veins, or a combination of multiple anomalies may result in interatrial shunts with INTACT atrial septum” Check out this interesting article below 👇🏻 pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/... #cvimaging #radres #radsky

Excited to be continuing to work with #RadioGraphics as a member of the SMDI committee! #RadiologyUCLA #RadRes @teachplaygrub.bsky.social

Non-Athersclerotic Vascular Disease by Drs Broncano, Ghoshhajra, @katehanneman.bsky.social , Robb ✅Remember diff patterns of involvement (TKA vs GCA) ✅Beading 📿 in FMD ✅Arch sidedness is determined by bronchus crossed ✅TAA in the young or unusual think of HTAD #RSNA24 #cvrad #radsky #radiology

Imaging Guidance in Structural 🫀 by Drs Atkins, Radike, and Rajiah ✅Wide aortic-mitral angle = ⬆️ risk of LVOTO in TMVR ✅⬇️ distance of RCA from TV annulus (❌ if <2 mm) = ⬆️ risk of compression in TTVR ✅ >/= 5 mm gap ➡️ relevant PDL for LAA closure #RSNA24 #cvrad #radsky #radiology

Amazing case of Proximal Interruption of the Pulmonary Artery from Dr Arzu Canan ✅Asymptomatic, incidentally detected ✅The affected lung may go on to develop a fibrosing ILD ✅ Consider chest CTA for PAs and cardiac CTA for PVs assesment #RSNA24 #radsky #radiology

Challenging Aorta by Dr Trabzonlu ✅ULP (communicates with blood pool) vs Intramural blood pool (doesnt communicate), former = ⬆️ adverse events ✅Periaortic stranding = first sign before mycotic aneurysm ✅Scrutinize plaque or thrombus for possible intimal sarcoma❗️ #RSNA24 #radsky #radiology

Masterclass in 🚼Congenital Vascular Disease by Dr Prachi Agarwal ✅Utilize 3D models and don’t neglect the airways in complex CHD ✅Coronary artery supply follows ventricle in TGA ✅Accurate communication with clinicians and proper use of nomenclature is 🔑 #RSNA24 #cvrad #radsky #radiology

Acute Thoracic Vascular 🚑 by Drs Remy-Jardin, Bhalla, and Cummings ✅ Arterial retraction is a clue for CTEPH ✅Be aware of LIT, PA hematoma and intussusception in type A AD ✅ Evaluate the myocardium and coronaries even on non-gated CTA with high-risk patients #RSNA24 #radsky #radiology

Happy that #RSNA24 organized an IRIYA alumni reception. Wonderful to catch up, reconnect with my cohort (2022), and learn about the many opportunities that came our way after participating ⭐️ The IRIYA world is also small as I work with some of them in NASCI and #RGTeam #radiology #radsky

ICYMI 🔑 in CAD #yescct session by Drs Vliegenthart, Ghoshhajra, Agarwal, and Schoepf ✅ Qualify CAC in plain chest CT ✅ Use multiple views, especially in LM dx ✅ CADRADs score does not replace the impression, give context ✅ FFR-CT is helpful and seeing ⬆️ use #RSNA24 #radsky #radiology

Practical takeaways in measuring the thoracic aorta from Dr Nick Burris ✅High quality imaging of the aorta is 🔑 ✅Consistency in measurements (outer wall, inner etc) ✅Look out for the commissural🔺, absence = raphe in BAV ✅Talk to clinicians in difficult cases #RSNA24 #radsky

Takeaways from S5-CCH03 by Drs Andrea Oh, Rachel Putnam, David Lynch, Jonathan Chung ✅Fibrotic ILA and ILD are a spectrum ✅ILAs ⬆️ risk of death ✅Beware of 🚬 related ILD; diff SRIF from UIP ✅Look out for high risk populations, CT can be similar to ILA #RSNA24 #chestrad

Insightful session of mapping targets for 🫀ablation (S4-CCA05). Increasing use of multimodality imaging and developments in ablation, consider pre and post ablation #yescct #whycmr imaging #RSNA24 #radsky

Inline post processing requires no contouring 🤯 for stress #whycmr , promising improvements in protocols with the shortest lasting <14 mins, consider using regadonoson but take note of pros and cons of all stress agents from Dr Ming Yen-Ng #RSNA24 #radsky

First session in #RSNA24 🩻 the future of #whycmr is efficiency ⭐️ with the development of better software/AI and rapid CMR protocols with @chiarabd.bsky.social #radsky

Providing radiologists with key details about the patient's symptoms can go a long way toward improving the quality of their work. radiologybusiness.com/topics/medic...

It's been less than a week but we are now up to 50 radiology and imaging folks in our starter pack. I know there are many more, so keep hitting up the replies or slide into my DMs. go.bsky.app/Gmkg4yX
