During training, learners may lack exposure due to limited volume and sensitive anatomy. Current simulation training often involves the use of manufactured or homemade (chicken or turkey breast) phantoms. Virtual reality is an emerging technology, allowing learners to have flexibility in learning, real-life interactive experiences and measurable feedback. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of a novel virtual reality breast biopsy simulation trainer.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This was a HIPAA-compliant, IRB-approved prospective feasibility study. The participants were three fellowship-trained breast radiologists with varying years of experience. Participants received an introduction to the virtual reality (VR) breast biopsy simulation and brief training session, describing how to enter the simulation and navigate controls. The participants were instructed to perform as many breast biopsies as possible within a 15-min time period. One biopsy cycle consisted of entering the breast with the biopsy needle, taking a biopsy sample and removing the needle. Time to successfully biopsy the mass was recorded by the VR program, and this data was recorded to assess improvement from start to finish of the simulation. A post-procedure survey was administered to all participants immediately after completion of the simulation. Qualitative open-ended subjective feedback was also obtained via Qualtrics.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>All three breast radiologists completed the simulation. There were no complications from the procedure, including no motion sickness or fatigue resulting in simulation termination. Results of data obtained from the simulation showed decreased time to successful biopsy (slope = -19.23) with each subsequent trial for all three participant breast radiologists. A decreased time to biopsy was associated with a higher cumulative number of successful biopsies (p = 0.0037). A higher number of cumulative successful biopsies was associated with decreased number of body entries (p = 0.0332) and biopsy fires (p = 0.0221) before a successful tissue sample. Mean responses for Likert scale survey results were overall high. The radiologists found the simulator to be engaging (4.67/5.00 ± 0.47), realistic (2.67/3.00 ± 0.47) and would recommend the simulation to other healthcare professionals (2.67/3.00 ± 0.47). The radiologists participating in the trial also provided overall favorable subjective feedback.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study presents a novel approach for ultrasound-guided breast biopsy training with a VR simulation that showed to be successfully capable of recording time-to-completion of each biopsy attempt.

Publicly available online sources were used to gather demographic and educational information about each musculoskeletal imaging fellowship program director, which included the online curriculum vitae from the program websites, Health Grades, Doximity, and Elsevier's Scopus database. Demographic and educational data including age, gender, educational background (medical school, residency, fellowship), additional degrees, academic rank, prior leadership positions, and metrics of scholarly activity were recorded. Fellowships in diagnostic musculoskeletal radiology along with additional degrees were recorded. A two-tailed unpaired t-test was used to calculate the difference between means of scholarly activity between male and female PDs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;In this study encompassing 92 programs across the United States, the majority (88) were dedicated to pure Musculoskeletal (MSK) Imaging Fellowship, while one each offered combined training in MSK and Body Imaging, MSK, and Emergency Imaging, MSK Sports, and Interventional Spine, and Pediatric MSK Imaging. Program directors were identified for 90 out of 92 programs, revealing a regional distribution of 29 in the South (31.5 %), 24 in the North East (26.1 %), 20 in the Midwest (21.74 %) and 19 in the West (20.65 %). Gender analysis unveiled a predominantly male representation, with 71 male directors compared to 17 female directors, while age ranged from 30 to 70 years, with a mean age of 47.17 ± 7.4 years. Medical school backgrounds predominantly featured MD degrees (80), followed by IMG (7) and DO (4) degrees, with the most common IMG source being India. Faculty positions were mainly distributed among Assistant Professors (35), Associate Professors (32), and Professors (11). Research output metrics showcased a mean of 41.943 publications and an h-index of 10.625. Extra degrees were obtained by 31 directors, with common additions being other fellowships, MBAs, MS degrees, and PhDs. Notably, some directors held previous or current leadership positions, while a few had completed residencies outside of Radiology or pursued fellowships beyond MSK Imaging.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Musculoskeletal imaging fellowship program directors across the United States are predominantly male, with approximately 8 % having graduated from international medical schools.

When properly deidentified, these radiographic imaging files are valuable and do not pose any privacy concerns for patients. However, when these images are not properly managed, patient information can be uncovered; raising concerns about patient privacy and potential legal consequences for healthcare systems and academic institutions. This study revisited and expanded upon previous work published by Weadock et. al in an attempt to see how this issue has changed in the last 15 years.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This study consisted of 8 separate Google Web searches related to a medical imaging modality. Each PowerPoint file was manually inspected for imaging files including x rays, CT scans, MRI's, PET scans, CT and MR angiography and ultrasounds. If a PowerPoint contained an image file, it was then inspected for PHI.
