University of Wisconsin Department of Radiology’s Post

A new study in JAMA Network Open suggests that higher CT utilization could be contributing to a decline in more invasive procedures like lumbar puncture for patients presenting to the emergency department with headache. Read more at https://buff.ly/3w3loxu. #radiology #medicalimaging #emergencyimaging

At #EMSOW, we know the importance and complexity of cardiovascular testing and interpretation. Therefore, we optimized our platform for cardiological exams such as EKG and Echo US. With its extensive customization capabilities for reporting and patient studies data exchange, EMSOW empowers cardiologists to provide their patients and referring physicians with the most precise and rapid Echo results. The following features will help cardiologists in their daily routine. EMSOW built-in #DICOM Viewer supports specialized cardiovascular functionalities, such as measuring the aortic and mitral valve areas. The Study Quality Rules module provides a way to create restrictions that must be satisfied before studies are sent for reading.. This module prevents such mistakes as an insufficient number of images in a study, the absence of certain DICOM modalities (e.g. structured reports), and the absence of certain documents that should be attached to the study. #Cardiology #PACS #Viewer #Cloud #MobileUS #MobileXRAY #Radiology #Portabledignosticimaging #Operations #Workflow #Billing #RCM https://lnkd.in/eVG5cV4r

💭 What are your thoughts on whole-body MRI screening? As advancements in medical technology continue to evolve, whole-body MRI screening is emerging as a hot topic of debate. This article highlights both the potential and the concerns surrounding its use in routine healthcare. With insights from physicians and experts, it poses an important question—are we ready to embrace whole-body MRS screenings as a reliable tool for early detection, or should we tread carefully? I'd love to hear your take on this. What do you think about the balance between its promise and the perils discussed?

With medical imaging now used in more than 80% of hospital admissions, teleradiology has become a staple of the healthcare system. However, it’s important to explore some of the myths surrounding teleradiology services. https://hubs.li/Q02bH3df0 #TeleRad #teleradiology #radiology #RadLeaders #RadQI #radiologyreimagined

The headline from Vascular News (21May2024): "Ultrafast contrast-enhanced ultrasound for PAD patients shows promise in early feasibility research" features an interview with Majorie van Helvert (University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands) and Michel Reijnen (Rijnstate Hospital, Arnhem, The Netherlands). https://lnkd.in/e4dVqsPT The two Dutch MD scientists who were interviewed at the Charing Cross Vascular conference last April explain: 'Traditionally, conventional ultrasound systems are used in the diagnostic work-flow of PAD. These systems have limited temporal resolution which is typically capped out at 10–100 frames per second. However, with the novel technique that Reijnen and van Helvert used, they were able to increase that framerate to thousands or even tens of thousands of frames per second. This may be necessary to adequately quantify very high velocities and short-lived flow disturbances, for instance, in and around stenoses.' The goal: “What we’re aiming for is, at least my view on things, that in an early disease stage you can do such measurements reliably and minimally invasive to assess if patients have favorable or unfavorable blood flow with respect to disease progression,” van Helvert said. Maybe UF vector flow imaging will deploy below the waist in clinical applications just as UF ultrasound begins its day in the sun for carotids and intracranial imaging?! This is an exciting time to be entering the field of vascular ultrasonography. #PAD #CLTI #ultrasound #ultrafastUS #RVT #limbsalvage
