With an aging denizens, people delaying medical procedures because of the spiraling costs associated with a privatized system and more medical students going into more valuable fields such as cosmetic surgery, the number of practicing radiologists has been shrinking even as demand is rising. Teleradiology makes access to these medical professionals easier than ever. Through [...]

The Ann Myers Medical Center is a hospital in Second Life, the virtual world where we organize medical exercises and simulations. John Norris is more than interested in medical informatics and the opportunities provided by Second Life in medical education. That’s all you should know before reading the next interview with John Norris about his [...] In order to increase productivity, healthcare providers have started to integrate many IT-based ancillary systems such as EMR, HIS and PACS. So far, this has purely been a service-oriented business, in which IT systems have accelerated healthcare practices. However, the lack of qualified staff, such as technologists, physicians and radiologists is creating a challenge for [...] The Stanford University School of Medicine has a fascinating Flickr stream, including a collection of mystery medical history photos. Most recently, they added a small set of interesting images from their 3D Radiology Lab. Above: “3D frontal view of teeth with braces overlaid on 2D human mandible. The wisdom teeth (upper right and left) have [...] The split-bolus (cross sectional imaging) MDCT urography technique reduces both radiation dose and number of images produced, according to a recent study conducted by radiologists from Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, CA and VA Palo Alto Health Care System in Palo Alto, CA. Since CT urography was first conceived, in the late 90s, there [...] Interventional radiology procedures are on the rise in developing countries and there is a significant need for optimization of these procedures to ensure patient safety. Many facilities in these countries lack the concept of patient dose estimation and dose management, putting patients at a higher risk of developing complications due to overexposure from radiation during [...] I just returned from the sun-drenched Rockies where the 2009 Aspen Health Forum, hosted by the Aspen Institute and TIME magazine was held. The clarity of mind induced by the fresh mountain air (or perhaps the neutral venue and balanced conversations) crystallized my vision for meaningful health care reform, which I shared with TIME magazine [...] This article provides additional information regarding some of the interventional procedures that radiologists perform. Specifically, this discussion is on tissue sampling, which refers to various procedures that are performed under image guidance to obtain bodily fluids or tissue (e.g., bone, muscle, etc.) for analysis. Percutaneous needle biopsies and aspirations, sinus tract aspiration/injections, arthrograms and joint [...] |
