Congenital seminal vesicle cyst accompanying with ipsilateral renal agenesis in an adolescent patient: A Pediatric Radiologist approach to Zinner’s syndrome
The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear medicine, 2015Co-Authors: Mehmet Burak Özkan, Meltem Ceyhan Bilgici, Murathan Şahin, Gurkan GencAbstract:Abstract A fifteen-year-old boy who had complaints of left sided pelvic pain with known ipsilateral left renal agenesia was referred to Pediatric radiology department. Incidentally, his sonography examination revealed a dilated tubular structure located in the retro-vesicular region from cephalic to prostate. Contrast enhanced pelvic MRI showed a huge seminal vesicle cyst which is over 6 cm without a mass effect near the aspect border of the prostate and bladder. The patient was diagnosed with Zinner syndrome. The patient doesn’t have new complaint with no definite increase in the diameter of the cyst. In this case presentation we are discussing the Zinner syndrome’s imaging findings from a Pediatric Radiologist approach with a brief review of the literature.

Computed radiography in neonatal and Pediatric intensive care units: A comparison of 2.5 K × 2 H soft copy images vs digital hard-copy film
Early Human Development, 1996Co-Authors: Paula W. Brill, Patricia Winchester, P. Cahill, M. Lesser, S. M. Durfee, C. S. Giess, Peter A. M. Auld, Bruce M. GreenwaldAbstract:Objective. The goal of the study was to determine whether soft-copy images on high-resolution monitors (2.5 K × 2 K) are suitable for primary interpretation of images from Pediatric and neonatal intensive care units. The hypotheses were that hard and soft images yield similar diagnostic information, and that both residents and faculty Radiologists can use monitors effectively. Previous reports have produced conflicting results; the need for larger sample sizes has been emphasized.Materials and methods. One thousand one hundred and four images produced by computed radiography using the Kodak Ectascan Imagelink system were prospectively analyzed by two Pediatric Radiologists, one reading hard copy and the other soft copy of the same images. Bias was controlled by equal distribution of modalities between observers and by daily alternation of modality. Hard- and soft-copy observations of presence or absence of nine specific tubes and nine specific diagnostic findings were compared. Interobserver differences between Pediatric Radiologists and radiology residents were studied on additional images. The kappa statistic was used to evaluate the level of agreement for all observations.Results. There was excellent agreement between hard and soft copy interpretation for each tube and diagnostic finding (kappa values 0.93–1.0) and excellent interobserver agreement between two Pediatric Radiologists (kappa values 0.84–1.0). The level of agreement between radiology residents and Pediatric Radiologist was excellent for the most objective findings. All results were statistically significant (p < 0.001).Conclusion. High resolution soft-copy images are suitable for primary interpretation in patients in Pediatric and neonatal intensive care units.

discordance in interpretation of chest radiographs between Pediatric intensivists and a Radiologist impact on patient management
Journal of Critical Care, 2010Co-Authors: Galina V Nesterova, Clifton Leftridge, Aruna Natarajan, Heidi J Appel, Maria V Bautista, Gabriel J HauserAbstract:Abstract Purpose When Radiologists are not available, chest radiographs (CXRs) of Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients are commonly interpreted by Pediatric intensivists. We prospectively investigated the frequency of errors in CXR interpretation by Pediatric intensivists and their impact on patient management. Materials and Methods Chest radiographs of PICU patients were evaluated by 5 Pediatric intensivists then by a Pediatric Radiologist (the “gold standard”). If the interpretation of the Radiologist and intensivist differed, an independent intensivist determined whether a management change took place. A Pediatric pulmonologist determined how many intensivist interpretations were different from the Radiologist's interpretations. Results Seven hundred twenty-eight radiographic findings were identified by the Radiologist in 460 CXRs. There were 33 interpretation errors by the intensivists (4.5% of the findings in 7.1% of the CXRs). Only 3/33 error corrections (0.45% of the findings in 0.7% of the CXRs) resulted in change in patient management. Conclusions Errors in interpretation of CXRs by Pediatric intensivists were common but less than that in other series, probably because of education of the Pediatric intensivists through daily rounds with the Radiologist. Although interpretation errors that affected patient management were rare, their clinical importance supports the growing practice of 24/7 remote radiograph reading by Radiologists.
