Teleradiology is the electronic transmission of radiological patient images, such as x-rays, CTs, and MRIs, from one location to another for the purposes of interpretation and/or consultation. Typically this is done over standard telephone lines, wide area network (WAN), or over a local area network (LAN). Through teleradiology, images can be sent to another part of the hospital, or to other locations around the world.

ScienceDirect Publication: Current Problems in Diagnostic RadiologyMultidetector Computed Tomography of the Acute Abdomen in the Immunocompromised Host: A Pictorial Review Sat, 23 May 2009 19:36:59 -0000
Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 4, July-August 2009, Pages 145-155Simon P., Spencer , Niall, Power , Rodney H., ReznekImmunocompromised patients include those receiving chemotherapy for malignant disease, post-transplant patients, patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and those receiving steroids for autoimmune diseases. Advances in transplantation, oncology, and the treatment of AIDS have extended these patients' life expectancies and thereby increased the immunocompromised population. Classical clinical signs of abdominal sepsis may be absent in the immunocompromised host. Consequently, the radiologist is increasingly called on to diagnose specific acute intra-abdominal complications associated with immunodeficiency. This review describes the etiology of the acute abdomen in this heterogeneous group of immunocompromised patients, causes including opportunistic infections, neutropenic enterocolitis, complications of therapy, and...
Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Potential Pitfalls and Artifacts Sat, 23 May 2009 19:36:59 -0000
Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 4, July-August 2009, Pages 156-169Xia, Wang , Spencer, KochWith the recent use of 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) for tumor staging and treatment response, it is important to recognize many pitfalls, artifacts, and benign uptakes that are commonly encountered. Normal physiology can explain many regions of increased FDG activity, as well as incidental benign tumors and benign metabolic conditions. Recognition of characterization of benign causes and physiologic variants for FDG uptake are discussed to avoid improper characterization as a malignancy. A basic understanding of PET/computed tomographic physics is also discussed, in relation to attenuation correction artifacts caused by metallic implants and contrast agents in the gastrointestinal tract,...
Diagnosis and Management of Pseudoaneurysms: An Update Sat, 23 May 2009 19:36:59 -0000
Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 4, July-August 2009, Pages 170-188Baljendra S., Kapoor , Heather L., Haddad , Souheil, Saddekni , Mark E., Lockhart“Pseudoaneurysm” is a term that describes disruption of an artery with patent flow in a defined space beyond the confines of the vessels. A pseudoaneurysm can involve any vascular bed and is usually associated with direct arterial injury or erosion of an artery by an adjacent tumor or inflammation. In this article, we discuss different clinical settings and various imaging modalities such as ultrasound, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, as well as conventional angiography used for the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysms. We also describe the role of newer endovascular, percutaneous, and traditional surgical approaches for the treatment of visceral and peripheral...
