A categorical course curriculum for radiology residencies.

A categorical course curriculum was introduced at Brooke Army Medical Center to focus the content of daily conferences and lectures according to radiology subspecialties. Our goal was to improve the traditional uncoordinated conferences and apprenticeship approach to resident learning. After one-year's experience, resident performance has improved, and residents and staff greatly prefer this style of teaching. The format has been adopted.

Rounded atelectasis: a new criterion for benignancy.

A malignancy must be considered whenever a mass lesion is encountered on a chest roentgenogram. Unless an unequivocal diagnosis of a benign lesion is made, thoracotomy is usually indicated. Rounded atelectasis, while only having been recently described, is being encountered with increasing frequency. As illustrated by our three cases, radiologic diagnosis of this entity is a major criterion for judging the benignity of a mass and obviates the need for a thoracotomy.

Computed tomographic diagnosis of rounded atelectasis: a case report.

A case of rounded atelectasis of the lung is presented in which the diagnosis was made following computed tomography. This imaging technique enabled differentiation of this benign condition from other causes of lung masses. In certain cases where diagnosis is difficult by conventional means, CT may prove helpful and prevent unnecessary surgery.
