However, there remains a need to explore radiology postgraduate students' engagement with LLMs and their perceptions of their utility in medical education. Hence, we conducted this study to investigate radiology postgraduate students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding LLMs in medical education.\u0000 Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative survey was conducted online on Google Forms. Participants from all over India were recruited via social media platforms and snowball sampling techniques. A previously validated questionnaire was used to assess knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding LLMs. Descriptive statistical analysis was employed to summarize participants' responses.\u0000 Results: A total of 252 (139 [55.16%] males and 113 [44.84%] females) radiology postgraduate students with a mean age of 28.33 ± 3.32 years participated in the study. The majority of the participants (47.62%) were familiar with LLMs with their potential incorporation with traditional teaching–learning tools (71.82%). They are open to including LLMs as a learning tool (71.03%) and think that it would provide comprehensive medical information (62.7%). Residents take the help of LLMs when they do not get the desired information from books (46.43%) or Internet search engines (59.13%). The overall score of knowledge (3.52 ± 0.58), attitude (3.75 ± 0.51), and practice (3.15 ± 0.57) were statistically significantly different (analysis of variance [ANOVA], p < 0.0001), with the highest score in attitude and lowest in practice. However, no significant differences were found in the scores for knowledge (p = 0.64), attitude (p = 0.99), and practice (p = 0.25) depending on the year of training.\u0000 Conclusion: Radiology postgraduate students are familiar with LLM and recognize the potential benefits of LLMs in postgraduate radiology education. Although they have a positive attitude toward the use of LLMs, they are concerned about its limitations and use it only in limited situations for educational purposes.","PeriodicalId":51597,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141823733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was undertaken from January 2017 to May 2022. Based on the location, HCC was classified and categorized on cross-sectional imaging into four types. All MWA procedures were performed using ultrasound guidance. Patients were followed up every 3 months with cross-sectional imaging.\u0000 Results During the study period, 225 lesions were reviewed. MWA was performed in 13 type 2 exophytic HCC patients. Segment 3 (38%) was the most common site when categorized as per Couinaud classification and segment 6 was the next common site. Technical success of complete ablation, evaluated by postprocedure contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan, was 100%. The median follow-up period was 24 months (range: 9–24 months). One patient presented with a residual lesion on the first follow-up at 30 days. Two other patients followed up to 9 months were free of HCC. Ten patients followed up at 1 year showed no recurrence, while 7 of them were followed up for 24 months, and 1 of whom showed multicentric recurrence which was treated by selective intra-arterial radiation therapy.\u0000 Conclusion A classification system for exophytic lesions can allow for better patient selection, planning, and reporting of ablative outcomes. MWA has performed well when ablating these technically challenging lesions with a certain degree of planning.","PeriodicalId":51597,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141828256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study has been undertaken to analyze the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and the pattern of imaging markers of sarcopenia (paraspinal skeletal muscle area [SMA] and skeletal muscle index [SMI] with respect to clinicodemographic profile in middle-aged patients (30–45 years) undergoing evaluation for low back pain (LBP).\u0000 Materials and Methods Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbosacral spine and/or sacroiliac joints was done on 3T MRI. BMD of the lumbar spine (L1 to L4) was assessed using a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan. SMA was calculated by measuring the cross-sectional area of paraspinal muscles (bilateral psoas, erector spinae, and multifidus), and SMI was calculated by dividing SMA by height2.\u0000 Results The prevalence of osteoporosis was 12.1% in patients of age 30 to 45 years presenting with LBP. Both osteoporosis and paraspinal muscle mass were statistically associated with the duration of symptoms (p-value <0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in different MRI findings, that is, normal, inflammatory, infective, and degenerative etiology.\u0000 Conclusion Low BMD and loss of muscle mass in cases with LBP are more related to duration of disease rather than etiology or gender in middle-aged subjects. Early intervention to manage LBP may prevent progression to osteoporosis and sarcopenia in young adults.","PeriodicalId":51597,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141830959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An intra- and extravascular lipoma is one example of an important incidental finding. Intravascular lipomas are rare benign vascular tumors that are typically asymptomatic. They are most commonly found in the inferior vena cava but have also been recorded in the superior vena cava, brachiocephalic vein, subclavian vein, internal jugular vein, external jugular vein, and common femoral vein. Here, we presented the case of a 64-year-old female patient with an incidentally discovered intra- and extravascular lipoma affecting the right subclavian and brachiocephalic veins. While benign, intravascular lipoma on imaging can resemble a malignant tumor such as leiomyosarcoma or thrombus. As a result, appropriate identification and classification of this imaging finding is crucial for avoiding an exorbitant and futile workup.","PeriodicalId":51597,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141829517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
