Transgender women face more interpersonal violence than cisgender women

Research presented at RSNA 2024 shows that transgender women experience more interpersonal violence than cisgender women.

December 4, 2024

35-year-old transgender woman presents with (A) a 3D CT reformation of the face in the sagittal plane showing a left mandibular fracture (arrow). (B) An axial head CT image from one of three head CT studies over the last two years reveals right periorbital soft tissue swelling (arrow). The radiologist reader suspected intimate partner violence based on radiology reports, which was subsequently confirmed through clinical note examination. Image courtesy of the RSNA.

Tracking and quantitative analysis of diaphragmatic motion and projected lung area (PLA) at dynamic chest radiography (DCR) in a 55-year-old healthy man during deep breathing. (A) Posteroanterior radiograph with purple and green lines indicating the right and left lateral diaphragm apices, respectively. (B) Graph of diaphragmatic motion (in millimeters; y-axis) over time (i.e., frame number; x-axis). The software tracked the position of the diaphragm apex at DCR to obtain these amplitude-time plots of diaphragmatic motion (right lung, purple; left lung, green). The dark blue line corresponds to the frame representing the end of inspiration; the light blue line corresponds to the frame representing the end of expiration. (C) Posteroanterior radiograph shows the PLA (outline), which is the area surrounded by the medial edge of the ribs, the diaphragm, and the edge of the mediastinum. (D) Graph of PLA (in millimeters squared; y-axis) over time (i.e., frame number; x-axis). The software automatically tracked the boundaries of the lung fields and obtained the time-varying curves of the bilateral lung field areas. The blue line corresponds to the frame representing the end of inspiration.
