Awareness and Use of the SAR Adrenal Lexicon

1.I currently interpret abdominal CT/MRI that includes evaluation of the adrenal glands.
2.I consent to participate.
3.Please identify your primary practice setting.
4.Please identify your level/type of training:
5.How many years have you been in practice?
6.In which province/territory do you currently work?
7.What percentage of your work comprises abdominal imaging?
8.SELECT ONE ANSWER UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED FOR THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.

What size threshold separates an adrenal nodule from an adrenal mass in the SAR lexicon?
9.On unenhanced CT, macroscopic fat in an adrenal lesion is defined as:
10.The lexicon defines heterogeneous lesions as having internal areas of differing attenuation/signal that occupy:
11.On CT, enhancement is:
12.The term hyperenhancing is used when the adrenal lesion measures (on contrast imaging):
13.When reporting adrenal lesion size per the lexicon, which axis is used by convention?
14.When you report CT attenuation (HU) per the lexicon, you should (select all that apply):
15.3.1 cm right adrenal lesion. Unenhanced 18 HU → portal venous 70 HU. Internally uniform. Select all lexicon terms that apply:
16.4.2 cm right adrenal lesion containing a dominant focus of macroscopic fat ≤ –20 HU within bulk soft tissue. Select all that apply:
17.1.1 cm right adrenal lesion. On opposed-phase (B) vs in-phase (A), clear drop of signal throughout most of the lesion; no history of cancer. Select all that apply:
18.The same image is provided. Write one descriptive sentence using lexicon terms to convey inference.
19.6.2 cm left adrenal lesion. Unenhanced (A) 44 HU → portal venous (B) 139 HU. Select all that apply:
20.The same image is provided. Write one descriptive sentence using lexicon terms.
21.Reporting preference (check all you would include in your report for the lesion above):
22.Before this survey, had you heard of the SAR Adrenal Lexicon?
23.The lexicon terms are clear and usable in routine reporting.
24.I intend to apply the lexicon terms in my adrenal reports over the next 3 months.
25.Main barriers to adoption in your setting (select up to 3):
