Financial Impact of PEVAR Compared With Standard Endovascular Repair in Canadian Hospitals
The objective of our study was to evaluate the budget impact to a Canadian hospital of changing the technique for AAA repair from the EVAR approach to the PEVAR approach. (Source: Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal)

Incidence and Economic Impact of Incidental Findings on 18F-FDG PET/CT Imaging
The study sought to determine the incidence of incidental findings on whole-body positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging and the average costs of investigations to follow-up or further characterize incidental findings.

Post –Vacuum-Assisted Stereotactic Core Biopsy Clip Displacement: A Comparison Between Commercially Available Clips and Surgical Clip
The placement of localization clips following percutaneous biopsy is a standard practice for a variety of situations. Subsequent clip displacement creates challenges for imaging surveillance and surgical planning, and may cause confusion amongst radiologists and between surgeons and radiologists. Many causes have been attributed for this phenomenon including the commonly accepted “accordion effect.” Herein, we investigate the performance of a low cost surgical clip system against 4 commercially available clips.

Irreversible Electroporation in Hepatopancreaticobiliary Tumours
Hepatopancreaticobiliary tumours are often diagnosed at an advanced disease stage, in which encasement or invasion of local biliary or vascular structures has already occurred. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is an image-guided tumour ablation technique that induces cell death by exposing the tumour to high-voltage electrical pulses. The cellular membrane is disrupted, while sparing the extracellular matrix of critical tubular structures. The preservation of tissue integrity makes IRE an attractive treatment option for tumours in the vicinity of vital structures such as splanchnic blood  vessels and major bile ducts. (...

Percutaneous Liver Tumour Ablation: Image Guidance, Endpoint Assessment, and Quality Control
Liver tumour ablation nowadays represents a routine treatment option for patients with primary and secondary liver tumours. Radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation are the most widely adopted methods, although novel techniques, such as irreversible electroporation, are quickly working their way up. The percutaneous approach is rapidly gaining popularity because of its minimally invasive character, low complication rate, good efficacy rate, and repeatability. However, matched to partial hepatectomy and open ablations, the issue of ablation site recurrences remains unresolved and necessitates further improvement. (Sou...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computed Tomography of Cardiac Masses and Pseudomasses in the Atrioventricular Groove
The atrioventricular (AV) groove constitutes the anatomic space separating the atria and ventricles. The AV groove is often difficult to visualize at echocardiography, and suspected lesions can be further assessed with cardiac computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. AV groove lesions may originate from within the AV groove or extend into this space from adjacent structures. The differential diagnosis for AV groove lesions is often wide, but a precise diagnosis can sometimes be made. This pictorial essay illustrates the magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography appearance of common and uncommon AV groove...

Prominent Canadian Radiologist Receives the Order of Canada
Although he has not been in practice for several years now, Dr T. Chen Fong remains one of the most respected figures in Canadian radiology. He built his career around practice at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary. Locally, he was well known for his industry, acumen, affability, and talent for sharing his knowledge with those around him. Rising to become head of the department, he became known nationally as a leader in diagnostic radiology, eventually chairing the Examination Board of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

Book Review: Accident & Emergency Radiology: A Survival Guide, 3rd ed.
As radiology residents, we have  often been asked by medical students and fellow residents, both within radiology and other specialty training programs, for a good basic overview text on plain radiographs. Accident& Emergency Radiology is an excellent introductory textbook, and provides clear and concise overview of the fundamentals that pertain to this imaging modality. With radiographs being the most commonly ordered radiologic examination, it is important for health care professionals to be familiar with the anatomy, basic approaches, and common diagnoses of various body parts.
