Abstract Teleradiology can be used to provide health care to rural populations, especially where there is a scarcity of resources, including on-site radiologists. We have established a network link between a commercial teleradiology provider in Bangalore, south India and the Ramakrishna Mission Hospital (RKMH), located over 3000 km away in the north east of India.

Abstract Segmentation of the prostate boundary on clinical images is useful in a large number of applications including calculation of prostate volume pre- and post-treatment, to detect extra-capsular spread, and for creating patient-specific anatomical models. Manual segmentation of the prostate boundary is, however, time consuming and subject to inter- and intra-reader variability. T2-weighted (T2-w) magnetic
Abstract International teleradiology services (ITS) to the United States are based on the principle of deploying American board-certified radiologists across global time zones to optimally distribute the workload. While errors may be reduced by circumventing the traditional night call, there is limited evidence on the actual error rates of teleradiology groups. We have a comprehensive

Abstract Objective: To study the role of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in evaluating various complications following endovascular stenting of aortic aneurysms. Materials and methods: Over a period of 2 years (June 2005 to June 2007), 50 patients with aortic aneurysm on computed tomography (CT) angiogram were prospectively studied. Images were acquired on a 64 slice multidetector row
Abstract Noninvasive imaging of coronary artery disease is rapidly replacing angiography as the first line of investigation. Multislice CT is the non-invasive modality of choice for imaging coronary artery disease and provides high speed with good spatial resolution. CT coronary angiography in addition to detecting and characterising atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is also a good

Abstract Background: Double reading of images is a part of the quality assurance activities at many radiological centers. Purpose: To investigate the extent of and routines for double reading in Norway and the institutional heads’ attitudes toward double reading. Material and methods: A questionnaire was addressed to the heads of all radiological institutions in Norway. The questionnaire concerned

Dear Sir, We read the letter by Saxena, et al.,[1] making an interesting and relevant point of periodic check-up of clocks on all computers in the radiology departments and highlighting the potential legal ramifications. We fully agree with the authors and would like to add that this is critical for teleradiology practices providing opinions to clients

Abstract The purpose of this article is to depict the spectrum of scrotal injuries in blunt trauma. Scrotal injuries are not very common and are mostly due to blunt trauma from direct injury, sports injuries or motor vehicle accidents. To minimize complications and ensure testicular salvage, rapid and accurate diagnosis is necessary. High-resolution USG is

Abstract Aim: To evaluate the utility of a mobile device to detect and assess intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) on head computed tomographys (CT) performed in the emergency setting. Materials and methods: 100 head CT scans were randomly selected from our emergency radiology database and anonymized for patient demographics and clinical history. The studies were independently interpreted by two
Abstract Acute calcific tendinitis of the longus colli is an unusual cause of acute neck pain and stiffness. Acute calcifitendinitis is a relatively benign inflammatory condition that can clinically mimic more serious entities such asretropharyngeal abscess, spondylodiscitis, or spine trauma. On computed tomography, acute calcific tendinitisshows characteristic signs of amorphous calcification in the longus colli
