Utilization of Teleradiology by Intensive Care Units: A Cohort Study

Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine. (2023)

Teleradiology services in ICU has a great potential to improve outcomes for critically ill patients by providing rapid, remote access to radiological expertise, enabling timely diagnoses and treatment decisions, crucial for critically ill patients. Setting up teleradiology service in ICUs also helps to ease the challenges of geographic and nocturnal coverage, to maintain adequate off-hour and specialist coverage to quickly provide round the clock, high-quality interpretations.

The Role of Mobile Van Mammography Supported by Teleradiology in the Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer: An Innovative Approach to a Growing Public Health Problem

International Journal of Health Technology and Innovation (2022)

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women, accounting for 13.5% of cancers in Indian women. Mammography is a diagnostic modality that allows early detection of breast cancer. In the setting of radiologist shortages, teleradiology is one method of ensuring that a large-scale mammography screening program is effectively supported by accurate radiologic diagnosis and made accessible to every woman whether in urban or rural locations in India. With the aim of promoting early diagnosis of breast cancer, Teleradiology Solutions, Bangalore, a teleradiology service provider collaborated with The Poornasudha Cancer Foundation, a registered non-profit organization. To learn more about the role of teleradiology in the early detection of breast cancer, read the article…

Teleradiology and Artificial Intelligence – Birds of the Same Feather

Academic Radiology(2020)

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.

Renal Medulla Carcinoma in a White Adolescent

American journal of Roentgenology (1997)

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 and Dental CT Software Programs

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI (1995)

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.

Augmentation Procedures of the Jaw in Patients with Inadequate Bone for Dental Implants: Radiographic Appearance

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

Evaluation of JPEG and Wavelet Compression for Teleradiology Transmission of Direct-Digital Body CT Images

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,

Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection: Helical Computed Tomography as an Alternative to Angiography

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
