American Society of Emergency Radiology

We provide resources, set standards of care and promote research in Emergency Radiology (ERAD) and emergent patient care in the US and around the world.

In 1987, while attending Harvard’s Emergency Radiology course, eight radiologists met to discuss the formation of a new group to define and disseminate the body of knowledge unique to emergency radiology. The American Society of Emergency Radiology was formed in 1988 from this small nucleus and has steadily increased in numbers and interest, providing consultation to radiologists and corporations

who deal with emergency radiology challenges. Since 1995 the Society membership has sponsored a new journal of practical imaging, Emergency Radiology, in which peer reviewed articles are presented and discussed.

Tuesday Journal Article Spotlight:

Title:
Systematic approach to the post-Whipple CT: clinical cases and problem-solving strategies

Purpose:
Pancreaticoduodenectomy, also known as the classic Whipple procedure, is the most common surgical treatment for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Postoperative complications are common and occur in approximately 50% of patients. Prompt detection and management of these complications is vital for improving patient outcomes. As such, radiologists must be familiar with the expected postoperative anatomy in these patients and adept at leveraging optimal imaging techniques to detect complications. This pictorial essay will provide radiologists in all practice settings a systematic approach in the evaluation of the post-pancreaticoduodenectomy CT.

Tuesday Journal Article Spotlight:

Title:
Ultra-low-dose CT in extremity fracture detection: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Purpose:
To compare the diagnostic accuracy and radiation doses of ultra-low-dose CT (ULD-CT) versus standard-dose CT (SD-CT) in patients with suspected limb joint fractures. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following 2020 PRISMA guidelines. Five databases (PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science) were screened for studies directly comparing ULD-CT to SD-CT diagnostic accuracy for limb joint fractures. Studies used 320-row detector CT scanners with ULD-CT protocols (80 kVp, 4–52 mAs) versus conventional protocols (120 kVp, 50–150 mAs). Bivariate random effects meta-analysis was used to pool sensitivity and specificity estimates. Dose-length product (DLP) reductions were compared directly. Results: Four prospective studies comprising 674 patients met inclusion criteria. ULD-CT demonstrated pooled sensitivity of 97.6% and specificity of 99.6% (AUC 99.0%), while SD-CT showed sensitivity of 99.4% and specificity of 99.1% (AUC 98.9%). Subgroup analysis revealed no significant differences in sensitivity (p = 0.300) or specificity (p = 0.486). ULD-CT achieved radiation dose reductions of 87–99% across all anatomical regions. Conclusions: ULD-CT offers significant radiation dose reduction with diagnostic accuracy comparable to SD-CT for limb joint fracture detection. Further multicenter studies are warranted to consolidate evidence across anatomical regions.

Tuesday Journal Article Spotlight:

Title:
Emergency radiology: an evolving subspecialty facing rapid growth and unique stressors, with a path toward sustainable clinical practice

Purpose:
The growing demand for after-hours imaging and rapid turnaround times—particularly for trauma and acute care patients— as well as institutional moves toward requiring finalized attending reports overnight, has intensified reliance on emergency radiologists, leading to increased workloads, shift-related fatigue, and rising burnout rates. This review examines the multifaceted challenges faced by emergency radiologists, including disrupted circadian rhythms, cognitive decline, professional isolation, unpredictable spikes in imaging volume, and physical and psychological health risks. Additional concerns such as gender disparities, medico-legal pressures, and limited opportunities for career advancement further exacerbate these issues. The paper highlights both personal coping strategies and institutional reforms—such as optimized scheduling, improved staffing models, and wellness initiatives—aimed at enhancing job satisfaction, supporting long-term career sustainability, and ensuring high-quality patient care in emergency radiology.

Throughout his nearly 3-decade career Dr. Shanmuganathan coauthored >100 peer-reviewed journal articles, eighteen textbooks, and innumerable abstracts.

Award: up to $20,000 ($10,000 per year for two years)

Eligibility:

• Principal investigator(s) must be members of the ASER, but applications can come from institutions worldwide.
• Awardees are expected to present their work at the ASER Annual Meeting during the grant award period, and to submit a manuscript from the project to the journal of Emergency Radiology.
• Applications must be for projects which are not already currently funded by grant awards from the ASER or other organizations. Application Deadline: June 30, 2026
