ABSTRACT
The National Academy of Medicine Plan for Health Workforce Well-Being identifies seven priority areas, including creating positive work environments, addressing burnout and stress, promoting transparency and equity in compensation, providing education and training to promote resilience, enhancing community and social support systems, addressing the stigma associated with seeking help for mental health and substance use disorders and fostering leadership commitment and accountability for workforce well-being. This paper will explore the National Plan for Health Workforce Well-Being, providing an overview of the seven priority areas and offering strategies for implementation in radiology.
ABSTRACT
Superficial lumps and bumps are a common presenting complaint in the pediatric patient population. Although encountered frequently, the path to a definitive diagnosis is not always a straightforward one. Imaging offers a valuable tool to aid in this diagnostic challenge. Radiologists must be familiar with pediatric lumps and bumps, their imaging characteristics, and the best way to further evaluate challenging clinical presentations. This will not only allow the radiologist to serve as a valuable asset to the treating physician in choosing the most appropriate imaging modality but also help in accurate diagnosis, all while ensuring the "image gently" principle. An algorithm for imaging in the pediatric patient with lumps and bumps has been presented in this article and a few example entities along with their imaging findings have also been reviewed.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to compare anteversion measurements of a human cadaveric femur obtained using axial CT slices with axial oblique reformations along the femoral neck and assess how accuracy changes across a range of simulated femur positions. CONCLUSION: Axial oblique reformations allow more accurate anteversion assessment than axial images with femoral flexion, extension, and internal and external rotation. Centers should consider replacing the standard straight axial technique with the axial oblique method for CT determination of femoral anteversion.
