Background: Accurate blood pressure (BP) measurement is essential in the emergency department (ED), where it serves as a key marker of hemodynamic stability and informs critical management decisions. Improper technique and incorrect cuff sizing can lead to falsely high or low readings, impacting patient care. The issue of BP cuff size has been studied in manual BP cuffs previously, but there is scant literature on automatic BP cuffs.

I made the mistake of procrastinating on something more meaningful by reading a variety of random commenters on issues related to radiology. One type of flawed thinking stuck out: the all-or-nothing fallacy. For example, as it pertains to artificial intelligence, the argument often goes, “AI will never replace a human in doing what I can do, and therefore I can ignore it.” Leave aside the potentially short-sighted disregard for this growing sector because of its obvious and glaring c

An MRI-based radiomics model shows potential for distinguishing low- from high-risk cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early form of breast cancer, according to a study published April 1 in Radiology. The study highlights how radiomics can help stratify risk in DCIS cases compared with clinical and qualitative imaging information alone, noted lead authors Kalina Slavkova, PhD, of Columbia University in New York City, and Ruya Kang, PhD, of Brown University in Providence, RI.

Firstly, it should almost go without saying, but: you can do this. I’d also like to acknowledge that nothing below is particularly noteworthy or novel advice. The Core Exam is like the other high-stakes multiple choice exams youve taken except for the fact that it has more pictures. And, of course, the question of how to pass the Core Exam after a failure is mostly the same as asking how to pass it in the first place.

What is quality care, and how do you define it? I suspect for most people that quality is like pornography in the classic Supreme Court sense you know it when you see it. But quality is almost assuredly not viewed that way when zoomed out to look at care delivery in a broad, collective sense. Instead, its often reduced to meeting a handful of predetermined outcome or compliance metrics, like pneumonia readmission rates or those markers of a job-well-done as defined in the MIPS program.
