Introduction: Medical physicists play a critical role in ensuring image quality and patient safety, but their routine evaluations are limited in scope and frequency compared to the breadth of clinical imaging practices. An electronic radiologist feedback system can augment medical physics oversight for quality improvement. This work presents a novel quality feedback system integrated into the Epic electronic medical record (EMR) at a university hospital system, designed to facilitate feedback from radiologists to medical physicists and technologist leaders.

Purpose: To correlate parathyroid scintigraphy results with patient biochemistry, surgery, and pathology to inform appropriateness criteria and assess biochemical metrics in the imaging workup of hyperparathyroidism.
Methods: This retrospective study included 421 patients who underwent parathyroid scintigraphy. Patients were grouped based on primary versus secondary hyperparathyroidism, and clinical profiles were reviewed for scan result, blood work, surgical results, and pathology.

Background: Systemic right ventricle (sRV) patients are at an increased risk of developing heart failure. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) could be a valuable treatment option. This study investigated the changes in ventricular function in sRV failure patients in the first year after starting SGLT2i.

Objective: We sought to complete focus groups with postmenopausal women to discuss their past experiences with urinary tract infections and other lower urinary tract symptoms to source input on how to improve patient care.
Methods: We convened 5 focus groups among postmenopausal women with previous experience of treatment for urinary tract infection symptoms. Participants were asked to describe their experiences of urinary symptoms and to make recommendations on how to improve patient education.
