Item An Appreciative Approach to Burnout(Elsevier, 2019-08) Gunderman, Richard B.; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of MedicineItem Association between intracranial carotid artery calcifications and periodontitis: A cone-beam computed tomography study(AAP, 2021-10) AlSakr, Abdulaziz; Blanchard, Steven; Wong, Phillip; Thyvalikakath, Thankam; Hamada, Yusuke; Periodontology, School of DentistryBackground Intracranial carotid artery calcifications (ICACs) are one type of calcification that may be detected as incidental findings in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). This retrospective study aimed to examine the prevalence of ICACs on CBCT images and their associations among age, gender, chronic periodontitis, and patient-reported cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Methods A total of 303 CBCT scans were reviewed and a total of 208 patients met the inclusion criteria. The presence or absence of ICACs was evaluated in the ophthalmic and cavernous segments of each scan. Patient demographic data, including age, gender, and medical history, specifically focused on CVDs were recorded. The presence or absence of periodontitis was recorded from each subject with full mouth radiographs and clinical measurements. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated as part of the logistic regression analysis. Results Overall, ICACs were found in 93 subjects (45%). The bilateral ICACs were found in 43 subjects (21% of the total subjects, 46% of the subjects with ICACs). There were statistically significant associations between presence of ICACs and periodontitis (OR = 4.55), hypertension (OR = 3.02), hyperlipidemia (OR = 2.87), increasing age (OR = 2.24), and the male gender (OR = 1.85). Smoking status was not significantly correlated with ICACs. Conclusion This study revealed that nearly half (45%) of the subjects displayed ICACs on the CBCT images. ICACs are significantly related to the status of chronic periodontitis, age, gender, and CVDs. A more careful review of CBCT scans is highly recommended to detect these calcifications and refer patients for further medical evaluation.Item The Candidate as Convict(Elsevier, 2016-01) Gunderman, Richard B.; Kerridge, William; Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, IU School of MedicineItem Careerism in Radiology(Elsevier, 2018-01) Gunderman, Richard B.; Lexa, Frank J.; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of MedicineItem De-Adoption and Un-Diffusion(Elsevier, 2015-11) Gunderman, Richard B.; Seidenwurm, David J.; Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, IU School of MedicineItem Designing a drawing-based tool to manage EBRT process in an open-source oncology EMR system(AMIA Symposium 2015, 2015-11-14) Maheshwari, Manika; Purkayastha, SaptarshiThis paper describes the community-based participatory research to implement open source Oncology EMR for radiation practices. This tool facilitates better communication between Oncologist, Technician and Patient. The innovation is the use of a Drawing module embedded within the EMR system through which the Radiology technician can visualize medical images.Item Education in Professionalism: Metrics or Culture?(Elsevier, 2016-05) Gunderman, Richard B.; Alavanja, Aleksander; Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, IU School of MedicineItem The Future of Radiology Consultation(RSNA, 2016-10) Gunderman, Richard B.; Chou, Harry Y.; Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, IU School of MedicineA more collaborative approach to consultation is one that every radiologist concerned about the future of radiology should be eager to embody.Item Health Care Disparities in Radiology: A Primer for Resident Education(Elsevier, 2018) Americo, Lisa; Ramjit, Amit; Wu, Michelle; Caplin, Drew; Mazzie, Joseph; Jensen, Leif; Patel, Maitray D.; Millburn, James; Ho, Christopher P.; Gaviola, Glenn C.; DeBenedectis, Carolynn M.; Heitkamp, Darel E.; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of MedicineAs the population of the United States grows increasingly diverse, health care disparities become vital to understand and mitigate. The ethical and financial implications of how groups of Americans gain access to health care have evolved into some of today's most challenging socioeconomic problems. Educators in radiology are just beginning to tackle the concepts of health care disparities, unconscious bias and cultural competency. In July 2017, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education required that all trainees and teaching faculty of accredited training programs receive training and experience in new areas of quality improvement to include an understanding of health care disparities as part of the core competencies. To our knowledge, there is no centralized curriculum regarding health care disparities for radiology residents and fellows. Many programs, in fact, have yet to introduce the concept to their trainees, who may have difficulty recognizing that this is even a problem affecting radiology. This manuscript serves as a primer for radiology trainees on health care disparities, with the goal of defining major concepts and providing examples of how variable access to radiological care can have substantial impact on patient outcomes.Item How Art Can Educate the Radiologist's Eye: Duchamp's “Nude Descending a Staircase”(Elsevier, 2018-01) Gunderman, Richard B.; Idahosa, Aimebenomon O.; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of MedicineDuchamp's “Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2” was dubbed one of the most famous and controversial paintings of its day (1). Along with the cubist school of which it was a part, it helped to change the way artists and the public perceived art, and its influence persists down to the present day (2). Less known but no less notable is the fact that “Nude Descending” also offers important educational insights to radiologists, particularly regarding the daily work of radiologic interpretation.
