The clinical syndrome of intracranial hypotension refers to the symptoms caused by cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia and is primarily characterized by postural headaches, but can be associated with a multitude of other neurological symptoms. Imaging plays a critical role in helping to establish a diagnosis of intracranial hypotension, localize the source of cerebrospinal fluid leak, and assist in directing targeted treatments. Using the best available evidence, this document provides diagnostic imaging recommendations for the workup of intracranial hypotension across various clinical presentations.
The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision process support the systematic analysis of the medical literature from peer reviewed journals. Established methodology principles such as Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE are adapted to evaluate the evidence. The RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method User Manual provides the methodology to determine the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances where peer reviewed literature is lacking or equivocal, experts may be the primary evidentiary source available to formulate a recommendation.

The Physician Sunshine Act of 2010 aimed to increase public awareness of physician-industry relationships. Our objective was to evaluate whether there is an association between scholarly impact and industry funding among academic interventional radiologists.
Methods
A database from a prior study with our group was used in which we had investigated H-indices among US interventional radiologists; academic rank, gender, institution, and geographic location were obtained. The Scopus database was queried to determine all physicians’ H-index. The CMS Open Payments database was used to determine industry payments from 2015 to 2021 for each interventional radiologist.
Results
H-index and professor rank positively and significantly correlated with industrial funding (H-index coefficient = $6,977, P < .001 and professor rank coefficient = $183,902, P = .003). Industry funding was found to be significantly different between all ranks. Among 830 academic interventional radiologists, the mean industrial funding of male physicians was $130,034, which was significantly higher than female physicians’ $28,166 (P = .00013). By academic rank, male primary investigators of associate professor and unranked position had higher industrial funding than female primary investigators (Wilcoxon test, P = .029 and P= .039, respectively). Professor and assistant professor ranks had no significant difference in industrial funding between male and female physicians (Wilcoxon’s test, P = .080 and P = .053, respectively).
Conclusion
Scholarly activity as defined by the H-index and academic rank seem to have a positive association with industry funding of academic interventional radiologists.
目的：2010 年《医生阳光法案》旨在提高公众对医生与行业关系的认识。我们的目的是评估学术介入放射医师的学术影响力与行业资助之间是否存在关联：我们使用了我们小组之前研究的一个数据库，在该数据库中我们调查了美国介入放射科医生的 H 指数；并获得了学术排名、性别、机构和地理位置。我们查询了 Scopus 数据库，以确定所有医生的 H 指数。利用 CMS Open Payments 数据库确定了每位介入放射科医生 2015 年至 2021 年的行业薪酬：H指数和教授级别与行业资助呈显著正相关（H指数系数=6,977美元，P < .001；教授级别系数=183,902美元，P = .003）。所有级别之间的行业资助均有明显差异。在 830 名学术介入放射科医生中，男性医生的平均行业资助为 130,034 美元，明显高于女性医生的 28,166 美元（P = .00013）。按学术职级划分，副教授和无职级的男性主要研究人员的行业资助高于女性主要研究人员（Wilcoxon 检验，P = .029 和 P= .039）。教授和助理教授级别的男女医生在工业资助方面没有显著差异（Wilcoxon 检验，P = .080 和 P = .053）：结论：由 H 指数和学术级别定义的学术活动似乎与介入放射科医师的行业资助有积极的联系。

The incidence of twin pregnancies has been rising, largely attributable to increasing use of artificial reproductive techniques. Ultrasound plays a critical role in establishing the chorionicity and amnionicity of multiple gestations, a key predictor of the expected risk and complications, along with guiding future clinical and imaging follow-up examinations and intervals. People carrying multiple gestations will typically undergo more ultrasound examinations (and occasionally fetal MRI) than those carrying singletons, at minimum including a first trimester dating scan, nuchal translucency scan at 11 to 14 weeks, an anatomy scan at 18 to 22 weeks, and other scans in the second and third trimesters for growth and surveillance. This document clarifies the most appropriate imaging guidelines for multiple gestations for seven clinical scenarios/variants, which range from initial imaging, follow-up imaging, growth and surveillance for uncomplicated multiple gestations, and those complicated by a known abnormality or discordance between fetuses.

Endometriosis is a common condition impacting individuals assigned female at birth. Though incompletely understood, the disorder is caused by endometrial-like tissue located outside of the endometrial cavity, associated with inflammation and fibrosis. Clinical presentation is variable, ranging from asymptomatic to severe pelvic pain and infertility. Treatment is determined by the patient’s individualized goals and can include medical therapies to temporize symptoms or definitive surgical excision. Imaging is used to help diagnose endometriosis and for treatment planning.
