As India emerges from a second COVID wave of extreme ferocity, the overwhelming reaction has been one of disbelief. How could things have gotten so bad so quickly? Not so very long ago, all had seemed completely normal to the extent that all routine activities including sporting events, weddings, movie theatre screenings etc had been resumed.

For a decade or more teleradiology has provided an eminently effective solution to the problem of radiologist shortages and burnout. However, the total number of radiologists, although well utilized, remains finite and relatively static or arithmetic in progression, yet the number of images being generated is more along the lines of geometric progression resulting in an overall mismatch, which in turn results in increased rates of radiologist fatigue and error. AI algorithms into a teleradiology workflow and practice allows for the effective leveraging of the true benefits of each in a manner that can simultaneously benefit large populations or public health initiatives.
Teleradiology and AI, going forward can be greatly synergistic in terms of their potential to achieve impact on healthcare delivery.

Teleradiology and Artificial Intelligence – Birds of the Same Feather Read More »
The word stroke, similar to the term heart attack, has a forbidding connotation in our minds. It delivers up the image of a life threatening event, with dismal consequences that include disability, paralysis or even death. Magnify this with the national statistics on stroke and the concerns can only intensify – given that stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in India. And that the incidence (new cases per year) and prevalence (total number of cases in the community) of stroke in India actually exceed those in developed, high-income countries.

Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a rare neoplasm of the kidney that has been recently described. It is almost exclusive to young patients of African descent and associated with sickle cell hemoglobinopathy, mainly sickle cell trait and hemoglobin sickle cell disease. The prognosis of RMC is very poor because of the highly aggressive behavior of this neoplasm and its resistance to conventional chemotherapy. Metastatic disease is almost universal at the time of presentation, and the malignancy is minimally responsive to a variety of regimens and/or modalities, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biological immune-modulation therapy. We report the seventh case of a left RMC occurring in a white child with sickle cell trait, but with a localization of the tumor in the left kidney, considered a non-predominant side for this type of tumor.

Dental implants are titanium cylinders that are surgically implanted into the jaw to allow fixation of a permanent dental prosthesis. These have provided an attractive alternative to standard removable dentures and have become quite popular. To assess these patients preoperatively, CT software programs were developed that display multiple axial, cross-sectional, and panoramic images of the jaw. As a result, new dialogues and interactions were created between radiologists and dentists, and this in turn brought new territories and unfamiliar diseases to the radiologists’ view. The purpose of this article is to familiarize the radiologist with dental implants, the surgical procedure, dental CT software programs, and related dental pathology. To know more, do read.

Abstract Dental implants, metallic posts surgically imbedded in the jaw to support dental prostheses, have provided an attractive alternative to standard removable dentures. Some patients, however, have insufficient bone to accommodate these implants. In this setting, a number of surgical procedures are available to augment the bone in the jaw. It is important for radiologists
Abstract To determine acceptable levels of JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) and wavelet compression for teleradiologic transmission of body computed tomographic (CT) images. A digital test pattern (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, 512 x 512 matrix) was transmitted after JPEG or wavelet compression by using point-to-point and Web-based teleradiology, respectively. Lossless, 10:1 lossy,
Abstract Echocardiographic evaluation of the pulmonary veins is inadequate at times. Cardiac catheterization, especially in sick neonates, may be a high-risk procedure. Helical computed tomography with three-dimensional reconstruction is noninvasive but remains an underutilized modality. Between January 2002 and February 2003, 7 computed tomography scans of children 3 weeks to 5 years of age were
Abstract The purpose of the study was to determine the feasibility of international teleradiology, utilizing day-night time differences, for online interpretation of overnight computed tomography (CT) studies. One hundred and two consecutive Emergency Room patients who underwent CT examinations between the hours of 11 pm and 7 am were enrolled. All age groups and study
